Eric is driving the last leg of the trip, so I’m getting to catch up on emails and texts I missed throughout the day. It’s kinda nutty to think about all the technology in the cabin of our car.

I really want to get to Memphis already… I’ve been in this car for to long already. More later….

You are now starring into the eyes of the largest Caterpillar on Earth. Also in Italy, Texas - I discovered a small town of concrete dome house structures.

Straight up freaky.

Second food stop of the trip… Lonoke, Arkansas. All in all, morale high. Lots of good tunes and funny conversations in the car. Only 2 more hours till I arrive in Memphis. #memphismemos

McDonalds in Lonoke, AR are just like the McDonalds in your home town...

Shout out to the Waco artist who has colorfully depicted Cortez over the Aztecs….

Extermination of my people aside, they make a mean plate of bean and cheese nachos?

Cortez wins in death too...

The road trip made its first stop this afternoon in observance of my rumbly tummy.

We stopped into “El Conquistador” on the strength of a billboard I saw on I 35.

I’m always game for discovering new depths of bad Mexican food. “Conquer the Craving”!

Cleaver restaurant names always get me to stop in for a visit

It’s a nine-passenger-seat-earth killer that is typically reserved for presidential motorcades. It’s kinda scary to drive in that it either has soft brakes or this vehicle isn’t really intended to be stopped once it reaches speeds of 75 or higher. Currently waiting for Eric to come down so we can start this excursion. #memphismemos

Meet Helga, my road trip chariot

StingRay Records

Rollie Agado October 23, 2013

One of my favorite things to do on Fridays is stopping by a record store I discovered in New Braunfels by the name of StingRay Records.

I can’t stress how good the music selection is at this place. I’ve picked up a number of new & old releases for my personal collection.

A shortlist of things I was surprised to see in the shelves: Cayucas, STRFKR, Yuck, and Chvrches

In addition to these indie releases - the place is filled with a number of albums by more mainstream acts - both new and old.

Taco nite w/Chivo before splitting town…
