BJR Newsletter
I know what BJR did last summer

If you can't be a BJR, be a BJR supporter

The readership of the BJR newsletter has grown to the point where there are no longer simply "fans of BJR" but several levels of fan-hood.  In order to classify yourself within this caste system of hierarchical worship, the simple descriptions below are provided: I can be center field

BJR once again took in the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, hosted once again by the amazing and still flexible Weitz family.  Despite the unforgivable absence of Stanford baseball, BJR enjoyed the CWS.  This time West Coast baseball prevailed, with Cal State Fullerton winning over Texas.  If you've never been to Omaha, then you've never been to Omaha.

The old BJR game

Despite a busy college baseball schedule, BJR has been able to spend some time professionally.  BJR has worked hard to see Roger Clemens and Andy Pettite start in Houston, Schilling start at Fenway, no one important at Shea stadium, and the Yankees get rocked by the Orioles at Camden Yards with the Heller family - all of whom are Yankee fans, despite being somewhat reasonable people; emphasis on 'somewhat'.

The Loft

BJR is now fully moved into his downtown loft, complete with electronic shades and a refrigerator lacking any real food it in.  BJR's neighbors are mostly either psychotic or crazy, however. 

Ocho De Mayo

Celebrating the rich, cultural tradition of Ocho De Mayo, BJR and four friends threw a fiesta of some size at his downtown loft.  Coming six months after the famed "Northern Exposure" party in December, "Southern Exposure" was a huge hit, and this time BJR didn't sleep in the bathroom or spend the next week apologizing.  Only one donkey was hurt in the making of this fiesta.

Burger with everything on it

The summer wedding season kicked off with Doug Burger tying the knot with some woman he met somewhere in the past, but this time endorsed by the state of Texas.  The wedding was a blast and BJR was honored that his friends went out of their way to entertain him by making fools of themselves.  BJR was also self-entertained at various points in the evening, in a pattern consistent since conscious existence. 

In the company of BJR

Not normally one to play host due to his downright hostile and territorial nature, BJR received visits from Mom, his brother, sister, and friends Pete and Vic, luckily each on separate weekends.  BJR gave each a thorough tour of his empty refrigerator, and pointed out where to buy both varieties of crack in Austin.

Exercise your right to apathy

You may not realize that there's a presidential election underway.  You may have noticed beer commercials on this subject.  BJR encourages everyone to get out there and vote Libertarian.  This way you can't be blamed for what a walking corpse or a vengeful oilman vocabulary enthusiast will do to our country over the next four years.  Just a tip.

New to the BJR Newsletter

The readership of the BJR Newsletter has once again jumped over 10% in single issue; once again a new set of readers have been added to the list against their will and have no hope of getting off the list.  For those of you who are new and hopeless, you can spend the next month of your life memorizing past newsletters available on http://www.bryanjrollins.com
