Meat

Nine days and nine hours from the time that I am writing this, Meat Week 2010 will begin.

What is Meat Week? Well, it is a week (technically 8 days) of eating BBQ. Sounds delicious right?

Meat is delicious, and at it's core, Meat Week is a pure and innocent celebration of slow cooked animal flesh, but I must warn you, before you run headlong into Meat Week be sure you know what you are in for. Things are not always Sonny's in the Meat Week universe.

Just like joining Skull & Bones (all my information about Skull & Bones is from the movie staring Joshua Jackson and Craig T. Nelson), there is a dark and shady undercurrent, darker than a good ketchup based BBQ sauce. By participating in Meat Week, you are joining a club, a secret sauce society. You may as well be joining the Meat & Bones.

I can't say much more without risking my own life, but just consider yourself warned. Beyond the obvious dangers of cholesterol intake... there is... I best say no more. Not a word. Not a peep. Not an utterance more against Meat Week.

This commercial has the catchiest song, written in Oklahoma, about BBQ, ever. Making "it falls off the bone" sound sexy is no small task.

Nicole Richie sent a sarcastic yet caustic email invitation to her Memorial Day BBQ that demanded binge-drinking and anorexia at the bash. Later Mischa Barton passed out.

Live at LG: Limbeck - Big Drag

Limbeck are a band from the Los Angeles area, or to be more specific Orange County. They play a brand of classic California rock the way it used to be done back in the 70s. I have had a chance to see the band live a couple of times and their new self-titled record is one of my favorites of 2007. It’s the kinda music that makes you want to have a BBQ!
