Lil' Ed and the boys were back in town to release their new CD, Full Tilt. They sure put on a full tilt show. The place was hoppin' from the first note to the last. As you can see by that old poster pasted up on the wall Ed has been rockin' the ZOO for awhile now, but we always love to have him back. If you missed the show, you better run right out and get a copy of the CD!!

Always a good time when BSOJC comes to town. These are some fine upstanding country gentlemen. Why a couple of them even helped old Deuce out by holding him up when he got a little too liquored up to stand up on his own. I'm just joshing of course. In reality, he was so high that they had to hold him down to keep him from floating away. I guess I pick on old Deuce too much, but he's a hell of a good guy and real fun to talk to. If there's nothing else going on, talking to Deuce is likely to keep you enteretained.

The Coopers from Lincoln
Some sweet music to soothe the savage beast, or maybe some savage sound to surprise your sweetheart. Local band livin' large with a new CD and everything. Definitely worth a listen.

Seems like damn near forever since I've seen the sun, but the rain finally stopped this morning. I'm happier than a daisy in a dewdrop.
Damn weathertrolls say that that the storms will be back, but I'm gonna enjoy it while I can.

This is an actual job application that a 75 year old senior citizen submitted to Walmart in Arkansas. They hired him because he was so funny.....
NAME: Kenneth Way (Grumpy Old Bastard)
SEX: Not lately, but I am looking for the right woman (or at least one who will cooperate)
DESIRED POSITION: Company's President or Vice President. But seriously, whatever's available. If I was in a position to be picky, I wouldn't be applying here in the first place.
DESIRED SALARY: $185,000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovitz style severance package. If that's not possible, make an offer and we can haggle.
EDUCATION: Yes.
LAST POSITION HELD: Target for middle management hostility.
PREVIOUS SALARY: A lot less than I'm worth.
MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen pens and post-it notes.
REASON FOR LEAVING LAST JOB: It sucked.
HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK: Any.
PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30-3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?: Yes, but they're better suited to a more intimate environment.
MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?: If I had one, would I be here?
DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 lbs.?: Of what?
DO YOU HAVE A CAR?: I think the more appropriate question here would be "Do you have a car that runs?"
HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?: I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, so they tell me.
DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job - no! On my breaks - yes!
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blonde supermodel who thinks I'm the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I'd like to be doing that now.
NEAREST RELATIVE ....7 miles
DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?: Oh yes, absolutely.
A large number of people in the Lincoln area went out Friday and Saturday last week to help Donnie celebrate his birthday. Ordinarily Donnie don't need no help to celebrate, but he seemed to appreciate the attention. Several large seismic events were observed in the vicinity of Barrymore's and at the ZOO Bar. No one is sure exactly when the festivities ended. They're probably still going on somewhere. ---gk
Columbia, Missouri's favorite sons came back to the ZOO for a couple of nights of great music. If you fooled around and missed it, shame on you!

Mario and his new best friend stopped by the ZOO to see some old friends and play a little music. We had a very good time on a cold Saturday night.

The Boys were back at the ZOO. Rambunctious and Rowdy as usual, and the crowd appreciated it. Be sure to check them out if they show up in your neck of the woods.

Pretty petunias party at the ZOO!
Oh yeah, the Bellflowers were back at the ZOO on Thursday night trying to keep the snow a way with some hot country tunes. I know I saw the light when Kristin picked up that singing saw.
C'mon guys put out a CD.

4020 stopped by the ZOO with a little wild ass country music on Saturday. Tractor power gets mesured by drawbar pull. I expect these boys pull a little more than their John Deere namesake. They got a new album too.

Well, I've been fighting a cold for the past couple of days, and mostly it's been winning. I think I'm getting the edge though. I only coughed about a million times instead of a billion, and the snot is down to drips instead of gallons. I'm staying home to keep from spreading it around.
The boys were back for three, count 'em three, big nights. Some great western soul music. Everybody dance! Times a wastin'.
