You ain't-a-gonna believe this! The world famous Tumbleweeds is closing in Stillwater, Ok. I guess Hank decided to close up shop after years of being the most popular hang-out in this part of the country. If I remember right, it was in the running for "club of the year" last year by CMT. I guess it is hard being the City Commisioner and owning a 'beer club' at the same time. I'm sure there is lots of pressure from the 'white collar folk' at the city. O-well, I sure would like to have back all the money I spent out there during college! Here's the article:

 

Wow that's news to me! I didn't think that place would ever close!

 

Ya. It is all that top 40 crap...JUST KIDDING JUST KIDDING.

 

Did you hear about the apartments next to the dollar tree? They are becoming stillwaters biggest bonfire...drove by there a few minutes ago and flames were shooting about 30 ft high out of the roof

 

Jory, they have a few concerts scheduled for January, are they going to be canceled or do you know?

P.S. I drug you into the thread about tires in the seccond gen non drivtrain forum...

 

I can't believe that. I almost cried after I read this I spent some good time in there. It will be sorely missed, sure would be nice if someone else would buy it and keep it open. At least the Wormy Dog is still open, right? It really doesn't compare but at least there is still one bar that host a honky-tonk band.

 

The real Wormy Dog in Stillwater closed about a year ago, there is one in OKC in bricktown...

 

Well I guess it is a good thing I left Oklahoma when I did. Doesn't sound like there is anything left to do there. When I get back I may have to spend more time in Fort Worth Stockyards than I used to.

 

We still have Cain's here in Tulsa...

 

I lived in Moore didn't go towards Tulsa too much. Went to Tumbleweed's with friends from OSU but that was about the only time or place I went North of OKC. Maybe one of these days I will do a little exploring up Tulsa way.

 

You say that like there ever WAS something to do in Oklahoma.

 

YES! Applecreek apartments are a BLAZIN'! Where's my scanner when I need it! Some jack-donkey probably trying to deep fry a turkey caused a 3 alarm!!

I'm assuming they are going to be canceled. I haven't got a reply from Hank yet. I emailed him on Monday. He must be busy.

No problem. Drag me where you want me.

Wormy Dog is dead. The frats took it over about '98 and it went to Hades in a hand-basket. Weren't a country soul in the place when it closed. No bottle breakin', no peanuts on the floor, just plain misery I say!!!

What are you talkin' 'bout, Hoss? We got county fairs and goat ropin', what more could you ask for?

 

The Wormy Dog down in OKC is pretty much the same way but every once in a while they have Jason Boland, Kevin Fowler, or Cross Canadian Ragweed to name a few, do a concert and the crowds tend to run a little more country than usual. Oh well there aren't too many true honky tonks left in this world all of them seem to be selling out and turning hip hop. I guess I will go back to building fires out in the field turnin up ole George Strait and drinking a few with the friends that still appreciate that sort of thing.

 

I almost added "And the ******** Festival!" But evidently not anymore

 

Hey buddy - this is a family site, ya know!

Quit acting like an 11 year old...

Shhh... I detect the approach of imminent thread-lock
