Woke up this morning asking myself if this really happened last night. Yes, it did. (after Deltron 3030 performed all the songs from their May 2000 debut album they did an encore of Gorillazโ€™s โ€˜Clint Wastwoodโ€™)

Itโ€™s a text message where I am writing to a friend:

lezzgothatplace that makes the little cups out of ham .. hamslammerz .. the glasses are made of molded ham steak. shots poured into them and then drop em in a michelada or bloodymary. they got one shot where the glass is molded frozen bacon fat filled with duck fat. you watch it melt on a an elevated hot plate and watch it drip over the top of an order of garlic fries. last time I went it was crowded and they didnโ€™t have the mechanical bull working yet

Whenever a friend asks me where I want to go to lunch, my first suggestion is always a fictitious place that I only wish existed.

Itโ€™s crazy that in the 1980s we called music โ€œoldiesโ€ that were 20-30 years old. By this logic The Gorillaz first album is now oldies music.
