How I spent my last free weekend and what's on tap

So I had 5 days off from work and had to take advantage of my last free weekend away from work. I'm changing shifts in the morning and will have to work every weekend from here on out unless I use up vacation time. This makes me kind of sad, but I had to get off of the overnight shift and be a normal human being again.

I did a lot during this time and posted new photo galleries that can be found on the photo page which is linked at the top.

I went to the Sherwood Forest Faire out near Austin, Texas All-Star Wrestling's "Scar Wars" in Humble, Springfest Texas Wine and Art Festival in Old Town Spring, I tried to take my friend and her sons to see XWO Reborn Wrestling in Webster (listen to my podcast Thursday to hear more on that), and went to the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo (sans the Rodeo part).

I hope you enjoy the photos that I've chosen to share with you of my adventures because I don't know what adventures other than some local wrestling events I will be able to post. I might be cutting back on the wrestling, too. It all depends on how hard it is for me to get to the shows and get to work the next day. There should be more Astros and Dynamo stuff and hopefully even Houston Roller Derby stuff. That's all starting up in a few weeks, so look out!

I'm also going to be available for chatting, too. Look for robbzipp on AIM, Yahoo Messenger, or MSN.

OH, shit! I don't think I event posted my last podcast here. Oops! Go to www.blogtalkradio.com/robbzipp for the last one and (BIG NEWS!) go there EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT at 8 PM CENTRAL TIME TO HEAR "Talkin' Houston Wrasslin' LIVE! with Robb Zipp and friends!!!

Break off Valentine's Vengeance before I celebrate Mardi Gras

Avast, loyal readers! Cap'n Zipp is back with TWO new photo sets from this weekend's wrestling adventures! As always, click on the photos link at the top of the page and check 'em out!

I will be talking about these shows in detail and also previewing the next IWE show on my podcast this Wednesday night at 9 PM CST over at www.blogtalkradio.com/robbzipp. Join the chat and call in if you have anything to add, mmm'kay?

As I'm typing this, it's Noon on Valentine's Day. I do not have a Valentine this year, but just know that if you are reading this that I love you. Yes, in that way. 

Tomorrow I'm heading back to New Orleans for Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras. I've never actually been on those days, so I'm really looking forward to it. I have 2 cases of beer and only one other person to help me drink it all. Thankfully I'm generous and will likely share!

Thursday I'm driving up to Dallas to visit my Uncle and then going to Fort Worth on Friday for the VCCW show and then heading back to Houston for the IWE show. Sunday is back to work for me, so back to the grind.

In the meantime, leave a comment and show me that you love me as mush as I love you!

Last night I went "Talkin' Houston Wrasslin'" on Blog Talk Radio again.

I did the second installment of "Talkin' Houston Wrasslin'" last night and had several guest call in and talk about all kind of things going on with Houston Pro Wrestling.

Jason Cook with CWF called in and talked about their youth clinic coming up next month, "Sexy" Steve DeMarco called in to talk about what's going on with IWE and their upcoming show on the 20th, M. Dirrrty called in right after words to correct a few things that Steve said and to give us some insight on the work of some of his clients and Tony Brooklyn called in and talked about the WOW/NWA-SW show tomorrow night in Cypress.

I also talked about the TASW show in Humble on Saturday and about a few other things. Listen to the podcast, leave me some feedback and let me know what you think! I did this show for 1 1/2 hours and could have gone longer. But was it too long? I'm not entirely sure what people want. I can do ti longer or shorter. Let me know. I'm also still not sure how often I should do this thing. Perhaps every Wednesday night? I kind of like the idea of that since there is no wrestling on TV on Wednesdays.

So, without further ado, here is episode #2!

I think you can subscribe via iTunes, but I haven't really checked into that. I guess I should.

Back to what you're used to from me.

Tomorrow night I'm going to try to do the Talkin' Houston Wrasslin' podcast live during Prime Time over at Blog Talk Radio. Go to www.blogtalkradio.com/robbzipp and you'll find out the info on how to participate. I have 1 1/2 hour block of time and no planned guests as of right now. Hopefully that'll change once I go on the "air".

Friday I'm going to the WOW/NWA-SW show at the Cypress VFW Hall and Saturday I'm going to the TASW show at the Magnolia Ballroom in Humble.

I'm going back to New Orleans on Monday for Mardi Gras and still have room in the hotel for people who might be interested. If not, it's cool.

I'm also heading up to Ft. Worth for the next VCCW show.

Pictures of everything will be up as soon as I get them taken and up!

First ever Talkin' Houston Wrasslin' is in the can and it went well!

I was joined on the phone by Biss, who is helping with WOW/NWA-SW and we talked live about what he's doing here in Houston and then I went to a pre-recorded interview that I did with Steve DeMarco, who is the booker for IWE. I also had brief run downs on what's going on with all of the area promotions and was happy to live chat with A.J. Maggot from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and Jason "The Bar" Massey from Vineland, New Jersey who runs the Wrestling Randomness podcast that I've become a big fan of.

I know my friend Vanessa was also listening because she said so via Facebook, so that's awesome. If you missed it live, I have it for you RIGHT HERE!

As always, PLEASE let me know what you think. I'm open to all suggestions. I'd also like to know how often you think I should do this. Once a week, once every two weeks, or once a month? I'm not sure what would be best.
