Common Grounds eats Waco
By Wendy Gragg
| Friday, September 5, 2008, 04:54 PM
You basically could live at Common Grounds this weekend if you are interested in non-stop activity.
It begins tonight at 9:30 with a dance party in the Backyard.
DJ SCANTRON (Shay Scranton) will have dominion over the joint. (I hear he also has set Sunday nights on fire with his Scantron Sundays at Treff’s) There’s a $1 cover.
After getting caffeinatted and crazy tonight, you can rest briefly before heading back to Common Grounds from 11a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday for 18 bands. For Free. Lots of local favorites will play, ending with the last show by Ethan Durelle.
Sounds great, but there’s just one problem for me. I’ve hit the age where I can do a few glasses of wine in one night. But even one strong cup of coffee in the evening is going to make me say annoying things like, “well, I can just forget about getting any sleep tonight.”
I’m guessing the place will packed to the walls with kids, so if that’s your thing, go crazy. I may try to get out for Ethan Durelle’s set.

Hey Wendy……have you lowered yourself to doing commercials for Bars and java-junkie Huts? You can change the name of this blog to “Waco’s Sleazy Entertainment”? Are you now an advocate for smoking, boozing and compulsive coffee drinking? I know that Waco sucks and there is hardly any entertainment but try “spinning” something healthy for a change? Get your head out of the local Bars and Dives?

Wendy -
Also, the Gridiron Grill is going on downtown at Heritage Square. Circuit City is bringing the big plasmas again, Leah from Olive Branch is working the grill and The Kappa Sig Smoker Band is playing. 18 & up. There is an event after every game (home or away) this year and the first one Sloppy Joe rocked the place…if you’ve had your coffee, come on over.

I’m not sure what age of kids you are talking about but, I will not be taking my kids to this. They don’t have enough here in Waco for parents to do with the kids. Most things are too expensive. You can only go to the zoo so many times.
Waco is BOREING!

Hey Wendy……lay-off all the wine in the bars; don’t go “lounge-lizard” on us?
