    Nice Dead and Co with John Mayer.

    Unrelated to "Throw it down Big Man" Walton, check out Dead and Co/John Mayer's Knockin' on Heaven's Door remake. So good.

    If he had to choose between sticking his dick in a blender or having sex with Dennis Rodman which would he choose?

    He will probably give you a weird look after that but he will never forget you.

    I didn't even make it into the Poster Shop. Arrived 30 minutes early, already a line ... outside in maybe our hottest day of the year. Sat at my coffee shop hoping line would go down, and it just grew. Turns out they were selling collectable posters for the show, as well. So, not everyone was there for Walton. They were only allowing a certain number in at a time. ugh.

    anyhoot...plan was that I was wearing my Keep Houston Beard t-shirt, and I'd just chat him up hoping he'd remark about the shirt...and report back to @Miguel and @moestavern19

    sry, I was too much of a wimp to wait in that line, in that heat.

    Glad to hear it. Would have done the same. Lot's of better things to do with your time.

    Don't give up yet.

    Dm him you wearing that shirt on Instagram? He might still be cool.

    Tell him you're Hey Pee from internet Clutch Fans and you're a big deal here.

    I mean, I showed up plenty early when there was only 10 ppl in line. But I wasn't going to stand in that heat for 30 minutes, waiting to open. I just thought once it opened, they'd let the whole initial line inside the store, and then I'd go in, but they didn't.

    Line was as slow as prime-time lines in the lobby of a Dispensary waiting to be let into the "Showroom Floor"....lulz. There was no avoiding at least a 30 minute wait in the heat, early or not. Probably would have worked if it was a 10am open, rather than 11.

    fwiw: not one Portland jersey was seen. Betcha he likes those. Lot of tie-dye though, of course.

    You may not be a fan of his poppy stuff. But the man can play. Clapton, BB, and many others have acknowledged his skill. I’m a huge fan of his sound. Lots of 7ths.

    But I came to this thread to see if anyone asked why Bill doesn’t do NBA games anymore. He was doing the Texas game today.

    I’d take him over Hubie anyway. Throw it down big man, throw it down.

    Awesome!

    The thing about Bill is you could literally ask him anything!

    I would go for something more off beat. Like 'do you believe in aliens, and do you think they've visited earth?'

    I was looking for a thread on Walton to see if anyone ever said why he doesn’t do NBA games anymore.

    Too much work. To be employed he would have travel every week and work throughout the season. Walton doesn't want to do that anymore.

    Oh, I'm not saying you did - I just didn't want you to start arguing with dead people. :D
