Max was the first to greet me when I landed at Brodie & Bianca's.

Alf was the next to say HELLO...

Lots of home improvement projects to work on!!!

First meal was Bianca's homemade corndogs and hummus.!

Zep & I rode bikes and ran into my 1st BOSS, Phil! That's his cannon.

Early morning hangout session with MAX.

WES, where are you?

Dallas / OK

The main reason I wanted to stop in DALLAS was to attend the 2nd annual BONELESS ONE - tribute to Jeff Phillips. I got a job covering the event for Concrete Disciples so I only posted a few pics in this blog. Check the link below for a full recap.
