Ruminations On DEA, Magnolia, and Low-Carb "Beer"

The Dead End Angels put on an excellent show (no surprise) at Big Daddy's Bar and Grill in Magnolia last night.

Despite their breaking down on the way and having to replace a hose in the van. The show must go on, after all!

The crowd was good, and seemed to get into this new band that few of them probably have heard yet. And the guys seemed to sell a fair bit of merchandise, even though their debut CD is still a few weeks ago. Very cool. I hope this venue becomes a fairly regular stop outside of their Austin/New Braunfels/Gruene home base.

And a big thanks to Scott for chatting with us and being the all-around good guy that he is!

The only mistake of the evening was my trying one of those low-carb Michelob Ultra beers. The first one wasn't half bad. The second one was more than half bad, and even worse, ruined the taste of my food. Awful awful awful beverage. I switched to a Shiner, but couldn't shake the awful Ultra aftertaste. By the end of the evening, it was Diet Coke. Even worse, the beer didn't set well all night long.

My advice: Do not drink Michelob Ultra. Anything that nasty and vile does not deserve the name beer.
