I could apologize for always being such a blatant cheerleader for Mitch… but I won’t. Like it or lump it I’m proud. Something makes me think I will be forever. If it’s not earnable then what’s the

email2friendthis is the kind of wild goin’ ons that happen at Glenn’s open mic every Sunday night at the oldest bar in Texas. Wild. If you want to feel like you’re in the middle of the Lone Star State, this is it.

or as he more properly calls them, ‘tunas’. Every year he harvests from the cactus patches on our property and takes them to his buddy John Willingham’s mom and she makes wonderful cactus jelly. He gets his share and enjoys it all year. That’s even more hardcore Texas than pico de gallo. This is the first of many batches. He has already burned the thorns off of these and they’re ready to boil.

a big gallon batch of rooster’s beak and two restaurant size bags of chips, comin’ to Riley’s tonight. This is before it was stirred and iced down. The tomatoes went in first, don’t think it’s only that amount… they’re on the bottom all covered up. The recipe is basically a third chopped tomatoes, a third chopped cilantro and a third chopped onions with the rocket fuel being as much chopped Serrano peppers as you can add before a chip full blows your top off. I add the peppers a little at a time and test it as I go. To create the liquid, add a couple of cups of ice cubes at the end and as you stir it the ice melts and pulls all the flavors together plus makes the mix really cold. I know some people don’t do it that way but we like to keep it really cold. A little salt and it’s South Texas perfect.
email2friendI can’t believe I forgot to post this for y’all. We have an outdoor movie screen at SAC that we inflate and show hit movies on before they’re released for home viewings. This week is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This event is open to the public for only $1 and student groups sell popcorn and sodas. The movie is scheduled to start at 7:30 but depending on the light we may start a little later. We show them in our Mall area at SAC by the student center and so we encourage people to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets for the grass. I just purchased a brand new Bose sound system for the movies and am anxious to try it out. In October we’re showing Wall-E and in November we’re showing Dark Knight so I’ll try to remember earlier and post the flyer.

Another improvement to YouTube; an embeddable playlist player. You can instantly browse the videos as quickly as flipping through a slideshow of photos – try the side arrows. What I did here was to choose a bunch of videos we had previously uploaded to YouTube and assigned them to a playlist. It shows an embed code now for each playlist. You cut and paste that code into a post on a blog like here or your website or a MySpace layout or comment or anywhere and you’ll get what you see above – a fully functional multi-video player. It’s all really a lot easier to do than you think. To use it you can just

We owe a big thanks to Gretchen Cawthon. She has a couple of websites, this is my fav. I really, really like her. She’s hip…. yet professional at the same time – that’s the mix that works for me. On top of that she’s a drummer in an all girl band, how wouldn’t she fit here? Almost automatic. Then on top of that, every time I fall at her feet and beg for help she goes way beyond the call of duty to help keep Whippleworld from crashing and burning. If anybody needs web or blog work done, that’s her business and she’s awesome. I move we unanimously vote her into the Whippleworld Hall of Fame.
I think the coolest change she helped with is the new Infinite Scroll. Have you noticed it? Try to scroll to the end of the blog. Keep trying to

email2friendThere’s a ton of free guitar instruction here. When Glenn and I were kids we didn’t have YouTube we had YouWalk. Had to walk five miles in the rain to learn a blues lick or borrow a record. Uphill both ways.

I love hanging out with you guys! 
Are you going to go? Now the question remains will you be able to play the piano? 
I just found the "recent comments" nested in the sidebar. THAT is making it easier to stay up with the comments. It's a shame because the weather is perfect. This is when you have a good chance to catch big Redfish off the pier at Port A. GO SPURS!!! We have the spot reserved all day and all night so drive up if you suddenly need salvation. Jimmie has decided she would like to play an extended set so all Jimmie Whipple fans need to make sure and come tonight
