Perfect weather to take the 930 dinner....
So who do you take? Just Billy Gibbons. Crappy iPhone night shot, but ZZ Top, car content and family all in one pic, not too bad for a Wed. night in Houston.
Very polite and sweet to my daughter, even cooed at her a bit and pinched her cheek. Was more than happy to pose in front of the restaurant. Didn't seem bothered a bit, was very pleased that my daughter was able to see that all stars aren't complete a holes.

Cool. I would love to meet him. He has made lots of money off of me.
I originally bought Tres Hombres on Quadraphonic 8 track. That tape died from over use. I could not find another quad version so I replaced it with a standard stereo 8 track. That one died. By then I replaced it with a cassette tape version. That died. I finally got smart and bought the album and recorded my own tape. Then CDs hit the market so I bought the CD. Then I bought the ZZ Top 6 pack and it has it as well. I have been to see them in concert several times.

Did not see him driving, my guess is he rode in with someone. The restaurant was very local to where he is known to live off and on as well as the bar he can be found in most nights.

Cool shot.
Where was that? I hear that he hangs out at Topwater in San Leon from time to time. |

Next time you see him you could point him to the Mulholland thread on PPOT, as he was an active member of that scene decades ago IIRC.

Hey, he does not have on his sunglasses! He really does have eyes! I have never seen a photo of him without sunglasses.

Very nice all encompassing pic! Unbelievable that ZZ Top sounded even better live when I saw them in the 80's. Then again they probably contributed to my hearing loss. They were rocking loud, crisp and sharp...amazing sound for 3 guys!

Cool pic, and the 911 in the background just sweetens the deal!
