I know that Chris has already told you what to do in Dallas this weekend. But let’s say someone has kidnapped you and locked you in a closet with nothing but 3 pounds of brisket from Pecan Lodge and a laptop with a wifi connection to the internet. Of course, your captor would have to be pretty stupid, because then you could just email the cops to come rescue you. Let’s imagine, then, that you welcome the downtime. There’s a beanbag chair in the closet. It’s not so bad. Anyway, what you could do is point your browser to the the live webcam going at Rick Fairless’ Strokers. It’s their 18th anniversary this weekend, and, having once spent an afternoon at the place, I can pretty much guarantee that things will get dicey — in an entertaining fashion. Right now, not much is happening. Some Led Zeppelin is playing in the background. A guy is sweeping up in front of the stage. But just hang in there. In a couple hours, you’ll be happy you stayed in your closet.
