All you had to do was believe in yourself

We're all very proud

Congrats Ramon, really good to hear.

Never really liked The River, to be honest and I'm a moderate fan. Heard the title song first I guess on the No Nukes concert and thought, well, that's awful, it sounds like a Springsteen parody, but I'm sure it will shape up before it appears on an album. But it didn't. Only songs I really like are the slighter rockers and pop songs like Hungry Heart, Sherry Darling and Cadillac Ranch. The Ties that Bind is absolutely awful, and a lot of the stuff just drones on.

I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that will say it's genius. But I guess my point is it's probably not the best place to enter at if you're trying to develop a taste. I'd work through chronologically, even if you aren't that into the first two albums. By the time you get to Born to Run it all seems to fit together though. After that, honestly I think it's kind of scattershot, except I love just about all of Nebraska, but there will almost certainly be songs you love if you have any taste for him at all.. But listening to The River is almost like reading Across the River and Into the Trees to see what all the fuss was about Hemingway.

Ramon, you're a good dude, you deserve it

Hope it all works out for you guys

what do you do when you're rolling you're balls off and the girl that is with you and passed out? i'm not hungry and won't be for a while. my dog chewed the fuck out of my ps3 controller so that is out of the question. WAWA!!!!

If your hinges are sound, your seat will last longer

pretty sure Newton worked up a law about that

Nice!!

I'm sure some of us will even wait a day or two before starting to pester you to distribute the lifetime free all-you-can-eat-at-my-place certificates you bribed us with promises of

Dude, hook me up with a few pounds of that pulled pork.

azrider would have liked this chick at the bar last night. She had two full sleeves, was about 12 pounds overweight, and was smoking Virginia Slims.

Also, congrats Ramon.

Awesome. Assuming you get it, when will you be up and running? (I need to know for planning my trip to Savannah...)

Congrats Ramon!

OK OK...this is great advice. Much appreciated, sir.

i really liked the concept and menu!!! i try to find places like what you have envisioned and really hope you make it, cause it sounds way too awesome.

Nice going Ramon. I like talking spirits with you.

Speaking of spirits...wine and spirits had no 750 bottles of JD except for the gift packs. So now i own a JD hat. Threatened cartersmom with making it my vacation hat. I think she'd divorce me on the spot. Picked up some Evan also per all your recommendations. Got a few other things. Where is the Jive thread?
