Are You Going to Ticketstock?


I'm flat not going to make it this year.  Usually I try to at least grab an hour or two of the least interesting time -- not long after opening on Friday -- but I'm not even going to make that this year, or at least that's what it looks like right now.

Get some snaps, men and women, and send them along to

ThePlainsman1310@gmail.com

I wish it were possible to post links and snaps to comments, but alas.

I'll be especially keen to hear how the "skits" ("Friday Night Live") go.  I think it will be a difficult thing to pull off but I guess the lads have been working hard on it.  Hey -- comedy is hard.  Written comedy is harder.  Performed written comedy is the hardest. 

I wish The Ticket -- and y'all -- a wonderful TicketStock.

Mickey Jones, RIP


Mickey Jones was a drummer with Bob Dylan, Kenny Rogers, and other notables. He then went on to have an acting career, most notably in "Home Improvement" and movies "Sling Blade," "Starman," and "Tin Cup."

The Ticket connection?

As most Ticket followers know, VJ Boyd, a writer-producer on "Justified," has written the names of many Ticket notables into the scripts for that wonderful series:  Ty Walker, T.C. Fleming, Gordon Keith, others.

Jones played Rodney "Hot Rod" Dunham in the show.  Of course, we know the beloved George on The Musers, and his affection for a movie he believes is underappreciated by everyone but him, "Hot Rod."



So there's your Ticket connection.



 And here's your redhead "Justified" connection, Alicia Witt, who portrayed Wendy Crowe.







 Have a fine weekend, Confessors.
