Look at the growth in Josh, comparing his late nite to this one taken the other day.

I officially retired on July 28th, after 31+ years. I have been a long time listener to 93.7 KLBJ-FM and had many calls on air and prizes won. So in honor of my retirement, I treated myself to the Dudley and Bob 25th Anniversary Gala Saturday at the Paramount. I, of course, made a poster of some of the old memorabilia I have and wore the "oldest logo" tshirt (and got my picture taken by the station pr guys and others in the crowd). I wormed my way into the pre-party upstairs and when Bob Fonseca saw my poster he called it history. Dale Dudley then had me come up and I got my picture taken with him. I got to visit with Louis Black (the owner of the alternate newspaper here called The Chronicle, who told me he was retiring the week of 9/4), Turk Pipkin (humanitarian - The Nobelity Project - and actor - Sopranos), the former Chief of Police, Art Acevedo, who took over as Chief of Houston, Ed Mayberry!, Peggy Simmons and Loris Lowe (last 3 all DJ's at one point, but Ed was the BIGGEST Beatles fan ever) and enjoyed an evening of comedy and music. While in the lobby I asked if Jim Ritts was around and the house manager who showed me to my seat remembered my seat and had Jim and his wife come by to visit. I got a free parking voucher out of it as some of you will remember the fiasco several years back when a client had gotten me on the list to attend Neal Degrasse Tyson and when Mike and I got to the theater there were no tickets. Jim didn't fair too well with this longtime client and big shot in development and how upset he and his wife were, so Jim sent me a basket of goodies and a promise that when ND Tyson returned to Texas he would send me wherever it was, even if were to Houston or Dallas. Less than a year went by and lo and behold Jim being the stand up guy he is called and offered Mike and I tickets to see ND Tyson at The Long Center and I accepted. Music sounded great inside an historic theater (Paramount) - Scrappy Jud Newcomb led the orchestra of Johnny Goudie and Sean Crooks (son of Danny Crooks who ran the Steamboat back in the 80-90s) with appearances by Kacie Crowley, Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison, Benjamin Hotchkiss (who did an incredible Mick Jagger impression), CHARLIE SEXTON (who we represented back when he was 15 years old and got his first recording contract with Island Records), and Bob Schneider (oo la la). At the end all sang Born to Run for Bob (who is a huge BRUUUUUUUUUUUUCE fan). Felt good to laugh for a change. While leaving, I ran into Elizabeth Avellan (ex-wife of Robert Rodriguez/star of screen) and a filmmaker friend of hers and they dragged me to Speakeasy where the after party was and EA snuck me in as I didn't have a wristband. First time for me to be in there and we hung out on the roof. Austin sure is a different place at night. Got home at 1:00 AM. So glad I went though.

The girls and I are headed to Kansas this Friday to see Mike's mom. Have a rental Jeep SUV and going to split the drive so that we spend the night in OK somewhere, close to a casino 😁 and get up Sat. and drive the rest of the way. Best part of it all is we will be right in the path of the Eclipse next Monday and looking forward to experiencing it. Of course I am going to drive into Lawrence and visit the Booth Athletic Facility and see the Rules of Basketball. Found a $25 off ticket from one of my many orders so will add to my KU swag. I am going to spend a day/night with our oldest friends who live out in the country and then we will leave on Thursday. Much cheaper to drive than fly and use someone else's car.
@Crimsonorblue22 Are you near the turnpike? PM me if you are. Would love to stop and see you.
@wissox Safe travels dude.
The other teams scouts are going to have to pick someone to guard EACH of our starting 5. There isn't going to be a "one guy who has to be guarded" mentality. :+1: :
66-35 at the half.
Let's Go Hawks!
Time to hit the pool! RCJGKU.
22-11. Quarters of 10 mins. each has a different pace to it.
KJ is one of the ones that has to sit this year right?
:bangbang:
Stupid stepping out of the court.
Malik avg 15 a game. Boy are we ever going to need that
I like him!
He said Doke wasn't feeling well.
@BShark Where do I find your links?
@stoptheflop Got the link for those?
HCBS said the bad thing from Game 2 was Doke got no offensive rebounds and that the other bigs had no offensive rebounds.
Talking to Svi right now. Who is around? Svi had never been to Italy. Sounds more sure of himself.

ON THE AIR!
Any pregame radio today? Right now it is last HawkTalk HCBS had with Bob Davis.
My 1988 tshirt has more holes in it than yours! But mine doesn't say anything about a fat lady.
@wrwlumpy Less palace (AFH) intrigue!
@Crimsonorblue22 Don't think I need a Fabio these days!
See you all next game.
92-61. NEXT!
Charlie Moore looks like he is 12!
RCJHKU
@Crimsonorblue22 The Vatican. Saw some photos.
Heat must be getting to them.
@DanR Wonder why he transferred, right? Hope all is well with you and yours.
@BShark Cunliffe not doing well?
75-47 at end of 3rd quarter.
Is this one we want?
Doke is dope.
@Crimsonorblue22 What did the other Lawson brother do in practice that caused him to be suspended and not get to go on the trip?
It is hotter there in Rome than it is here in TX. That is not normal for them is it?
52-26 at the half.
Who is watching live? Is the Players Group older guys?
I have high hopes for Newman and Preston.
Allright, Allright, Allright. Let's go Hawks. I officially retired on 7-28 but missed hearing the game yesterday. I wish we could watch without having to pay the FLOP. Listening on IMG Jayhawk radio. We just went on a 20-0 run. Excited for the team!
@truehawk93 :bell: :bell: :bell: :bell: :bell: :bell: We have a winner!
@jaybate-1-0 @mayjay I know the history of my hometown, Leavenworth, is they had a choice between the VA or a state college way back then and because of their proximity (next door) to Fort Leavenworth, they chose the VA.
Definitely not Snacks. Look what #BIFM wrote:
Figured this was a good place for this. Too bad future governors didn't keep this prohibition in place!
Here is the freeze frame. Snacks with a beard? Hard to tell.

And a Throwback Thursday that is always funny:
@wrwlumpy I saw that.
Guess Dwight leaving could have been a deciding factor in Svi returning since that opened up a scholie.
Agree or disagree with this?
Great Day To Be A Jayhawk Fan!!!
And this is priceless!
