I am really enjoying Texas. People here are very friendly, and the whole atmosphere is very laid back. joeyramone30 is from here, and recommended a few places, including Rooster’s Roadhouse. I jumped at the chance to get some brisket, because Texas.

The place was fantastic and fun. The waitress called us “y’all.” (CALIFORNIA NERD ALERT) Did I mention how nice and laid back everyone is here? Following through on the recommendation, we had the Redneck Sushi appetizer. It was gud.

We enjoyed fried pickles for the first time (OMG) and the brisket was excellent. I finished it with a bannana pudding in a jelly jar that may have been the best I have ever had.

All in all, I am really liking Texas. I understand why so many California refugees are fleeing here.

Of course, I also came to a realization. It has been extremely noticeable how nice people are, and I suddenly realized that they aren’t actually all that nice. This is just normal.

Fellow Californians, I think we might be assholes. I think I am so used to being immersed in California assholery that coming here where people are normal seems startling. Texas, I think I understand why you resent all of our refugees bringing our assholery to your shores, and I actually empathize.

I am not sure how to feel about all of this.

I am contemplating this by the fire.

In a war of “my state is better” attitudes between Californians and Texans, there are no survivors.

People in Texas aren’t really nice; they’re perfunctorily nice, like most of the south. 

“How are you?”

“My cat got hit by a car.”

“Oh, good, I’m good, too.”

That’s why they are separated by Arizona and New Mexico. Texas would build a wall for sure.

Texas is an interesting beast - I hate it and love it. The best and worst of America. We’ve a got a big new office in Plano, supported by tax exemptions and cheap wages.  Little bro lived in Tucumcari for a while and it was a super neat little community.  He bought a nice little house there for $28k (less than the average sale price of a new car.)

Texans can bring the mosh. One of my favorite bands, Die Young [TX], hails from Houston. Daniel (aka the Reverend White Devil) crashed at my place years ago when they rolled through Tucson. A budy of mine toured with him for a while.

Funny thing is I think Californians are so nice and laid back. But that's because I'm from new Jersey and am very used to new yorkers. Food in Texas is the only reason I didn't mind going on travel there for work. Except for the Mexican though, Tex mex makes me sad.

In Kansas we feel the same way about Texans as they feel about Californians. Pretentious egomaniacs.

You know why they made Texas so big?

To keep those assholes from wandering out.

I have a pic somewhere of a dude licking blood of another dude’s face in the middle of a pit at an Hour of the Wolf show in Tucson. That weirded everyone out a bit. We were all covered in blood after that show. Said blood licker is now in a pretty successful metal band. He’s playing the white guitar for Gatekreeper:

Arizona is much harder than Texas. We once killed a guy at show here.

“Y’all” is such a great word. I’ve got family back east and they say “Yous.” Euw.

He had it coming. Tried to stab someone who didn’t feel like getting stabbed and forgot people in Arizona carry guns, not knives.

“And very armed”

A good reason for everyone to be polite.

Our new political paper s archivist started yesterday. He comes to us from the city of Sacramento’s  history operation . He met a lot of people at in library doing the all the first day at a large institution stuff and then I took him out for beers at a couple breweries in Las Cruces last night . He kept saying throughout how nice and friendly people are here.
