Thanks so much to Nicc at the Celt and his crew of merry Pirates. Had an absolute blast getting Irish all up on his business, taking down the old 3D letters that had become a running gag that provide good Celtic humor but it was time for a shave! Now she can stand in all her Irish pride and match the *excellent* service, *superb* pub style cuisine that is enough on its own to come here, and bartenders that are trained so well in their arts that they could all serve on a 4 star team. Absolutely spot on interior that made me feel like I was back at Finn McCool's Irish pub in New Orleans, my favorite haunt when I lived there, and I almost lived at that pub. The double-decker architecture of this building that was more than likely built in the 1800s from my guess the people well with its sturdy old staircases and hand-carved wood, and even an old fireplace that JFK is said to have stayed at for a drink or two. Absolutely fantastic place, it is worth any trip to visit this absolutely unmissable Texas treasure. Thank me for it later.

Getting this gentleman a new hat and spiffing up his old duds! So excited for this one to be completed. It's a whole new world! Thanks again for the opportunity, Mellow Mushroom crew! I've wanted to paint for this company since I was on a mission trip to Mississippi and the old school cartoon hippy vibe blew my developing mind.

God bless Kerouac.

"There was no end to the American sadness and the American madness. Someday we’ll all start laughing and roll on the ground when we realize how funny it’s been. Until then there is a lugubrious seriousness I love in all of this.”

DC Studios’ Supergirl is projected to suffer a steep 73% second-weekend box office drop, earning around $10 million after opening to a disappointing $37.1 million domestically. The film is also expected to finish behind Young Washington, a George Washington biopic projected to earn $16–17 million over the Fourth of July weekend.

With a reported $170 million production budget, the weak performance has fueled concerns about the film’s commercial prospects and highlighted the challenges facing superhero movies amid mixed audience reception and growing franchise fatigue.
