Gumball, plus some "words" to read


Gumball, originally uploaded by peteg.


I snuck my way into the Cowtown Chronicles' "studio" while Pete W, Steve, Kevin and Bernie recorded episode 12 of the Cowtown Chronicles' Podcast. It's always good to be in the company of such fine gents, and this week's podcast was spirited and informative.


Bernie talked about his recent appearance at a League of Women voters candidate's forum. Bernie is running for District 9 City Council. As a resident of the downtown district, I am one fella that's going to vote for Bernie. He's genuine and direct, a refreshing change from the entrenched, back-slapping crony types that seem to dominate Texas politics. Bernie's got new ideas, he's not afraid to speak his mind, and he genuinely cares about the future of Fort Worth. Check him out at iheartfw.com, or at the next candidates forum, Thursday, 18 October at 7 pm at the Travis Avenue Baptist Church.


Kevin, of Fortworthology.com, rants about the impending Southwest Parkway vs Light/Commuter rail. He's got some right-on analysis, and if you like hearing to a man on the verge, the podcast is worth the listen just for that. And check out his further thoughts on his blog.


Pete W clues us into the Lone Star International Film Festival which will be hitting downtown, et al, Fort Worth next month. I, for one, plan on sipping a beer with Bill Paxton.


Slip the headphones on, and have a listen at the Cowtown Chronicles. Better yet, subscribe via Itunes and catch it every week.


Also, I am kinda retarded and "writing" "words" on my "blog" isn't quite the habit that posting my photos is. It sure would have been a good idea, if yesterday when I posted the photos of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, I mentioned that Tar and I are attending the Modern 'Til Midnight event there on Friday. There's going to be extended hours, live music out in the sculpture garden, some foods, etc. St. Vincent is headlining. This seems to mean a lot to Fort Worthians, but not to me because I haven't gotten clued in. Anyway, it's going to be rad.

Peter maybe you could combine the words with the pictures. Like where is that gumball machine and is it the runts that are in short supply compared to the M&Ms or was it the other way around?

I like pictures of people, especially strangers and I think you are really good at taking that kind of pic. It's really hard to do I realize though, approaching strangers and taking their pics.
