Snorty Horse Saloon

White Trash night was a success! Over half the customers had mullets, and half of those were real mullets. We sold out of Stag, Hamm's and Old Style. One guy bought a Heineken and he was shamed to the point putting on a Papst trucker's hat with mullet wig and cutting his sleeves off and drank canned beer the rest of the night.

Chapman night was crazy. A series of weird stuff happened. Bartenders cut one guy off 'cause he was too drunk. (He had a shirt on that said "HI! You'll Do") He then got pissed off and John drug him out by his nose...yes, his nose. The guy got really pissed after that and called the cops. John just stood there and started laughing hysterically. Drunk guy couldn't figure out why and finally asked John what was so funny. He said' "You just bought yourself a drunk in public ticket and a night in the drunk tank." Drunk guy thought about it and called the cops back and told them everything was under control and no need to come out.

Had another guy that wasn't even drinking 'cause he was the D.D. I guess the guy got tired of being around the crowd and went out and laid down to take a nap in his pickup. Someone else later walked by and seen him laying there and called the paramedics without even checking on him. Paramedics showed up only to wake the guy up. They were not happy.

Had another guy that decided he needed to help Chapman out during his acoustic set. He asked Mark and Jason if he could play guitar. They both said no. So I got to give the guy credit 'cause he was a quick thinker and got on the drums instead. I jumped on stage and got him off and scolded him like a little kid by saying "Don't you do that." He then looked at me and said "I make $160,000 a year." I then said "No one here gives a f?&ck how much you make and you're not getting paid one red cent to play here tonight." He then said "What are you, some control freak bouncer or manager." Needless to say, there was no talking sense into the guy and I just had to have one of the most mindless conversations I've ever had with another human being until Bart got back on the drums so it wasn't an issue anymore.

O.K...This week at the Horse!!!

TUES. JULY 24th: We will be open because the Missouri AG Teachers Conference is in town and they asked me to open the bar. I went to college with a bunch of these folks and almost become an Agriculture-FFA teacher myself. Always good to swap stories with these guys.

WED. JULY 25th: KENNY DEFOREST, TRULANE, COLE, CODY, HUTCH, and JARROD HICKS!!! This will be a mixture of comedy and music and will be a big night for us; especially with the AG teachers still in town. The "Not so special drink special" will be in effect. Trulane...better known as "PARTY BOY" will get his first taste of the stage. Please refrain from bringing any fruits or vegetables to use as projectory objects.

THURS. JULY 26th: COWBOY TOY ROPIN'!!! Several people out there think Cowboy Troy plays at the Snorty Horse once a month. You ought to see their face when I say "Cowboy Toy, not Cowboy Troy" Any how, call me if you're going to be late and there will be a 100% payback. $5 bucks a man round robin and you can rope both ends.

FRI. JULY 27th: MICKEY and the MOTORCARS with POINT SOUTH!!! M&MC have been getting tons of play with their new CD "Careless" and are all over several different music charts including the Texas and Roots music charts. They get lots of play other then the Springfield area that is because all the stations here are gay and don't have the balls to put it on the air. Well, there is a show on Friday and Sat. night on 100.5 that will stray; so I guess it’s getting better. This is only their third time to play here having played with their brothers Reckless Kelly a few months ago.

POINT SOUTH is finally back. I expect a lot of you from way southwest MO to be in town. Going to be a big night for us.

SAT. JULY 28th: MACON GRAYSON!!! I'm a big Macon Grayson fan. Probably 'cause they push the scale as far as they can. Their lead man "Buddy" has a resume that looks more like someone who has the ability to cure cancer then a musician. He actually is a chemist that can write some killer songs. This will be a rock show so be prepared and don't say I told you so. This show is different, so if you don't like different, don't come. If you're in to about as underground as it gets, then don't miss this show. Buddy takes red dirt roots and twists it to the point of being unrecognizable. This show is for creative people only.

Thanks,
