Natural gas transportation pipelines receive natural gas from other mainline transportation pipelines, storage facilities and gathering systems and deliver the natural gas to industrial end-users, storage facilities, utilities and other pipelines. Through our intrastate transportation and storage segment, we own and operate approximately 7,500 miles of natural gas transportation pipelines with approximately 14.1 Bcf/d of transportation capacity and three natural gas storage facilities located in the state of Texas.
Through ETC OLP, we own the largest intrastate pipeline system in the United States with interconnects to Texas markets and to major consumption areas throughout the United States. Our intrastate transportation and storage segment focuses on the transportation of natural gas to major markets from various prolific natural gas producing areas through connections with other pipeline systems as well as through our Oasis pipeline, our East Texas pipeline, our natural gas pipeline and storage assets that are referred to as the ET Fuel System, and our HPL System, which are described below.
Our intrastate transportation and storage segment's results are determined primarily by the amount of capacity our customers reserve as well as the actual volume of natural gas that flows through the transportation pipelines. Under transportation contracts, our customers are charged (i) a demand fee, which is a fixed fee for the reservation of an agreed amount of capacity on the transportation pipeline for a specified period of time and which obligates the customer to pay even if the customer does not transport natural gas on the respective pipeline, (ii) a transportation fee, which is based on the actual throughput of natural gas by the customer, (iii) fuel retention based on a percentage of gas transported on the pipeline, or (iv) a combination of the three, generally payable monthly.
We also generate revenues and margin from the sale of natural gas to electric utilities, independent power plants, local distribution companies, industrial end-users and marketing companies on our HPL System. Generally, we purchase natural gas from either the market (including purchases from our marketing operations) or from producers at the wellhead. To the extent the natural gas comes from producers, it is primarily purchased at a discount to a specified market price and typically resold to customers based on an index price. In addition, our intrastate transportation and storage segment generates revenues from fees charged for storing customers' working natural gas in our storage facilities and from managing natural gas for our own account.
The following details our pipelines and storage facilities in the intrastate transportation and storage segment.
ET Fuel System
Capacity of 5.2 Bcf/d
Approximately 2,770 miles of natural gas pipeline
Two storage facilities with 12.4 Bcf of total working gas capacity
Bi-directional capabilities
The ET Fuel System serves some of the most prolific production areas in the United States and is comprised of intrastate natural gas pipeline and related natural gas storage facilities. The ET Fuel System has many interconnections with pipelines providing direct access to power plants, other intrastate and interstate pipelines, and is strategically located near high-growth production areas and provides access to the Waha Hub near Midland, Texas, the Katy Hub near Houston, Texas and the Carthage Hub in East Texas, the three major natural gas trading centers in Texas.
The ET Fuel System also includes our Bethel natural gas storage facility, with a working capacity of 6.4 Bcf, an average withdrawal capacity of 300 MMcf/d and an injection capacity of 75 MMcf/d, and our Bryson natural gas storage facility, with a working capacity of 6.0 Bcf, an average withdrawal capacity of 120 MMcf/d and an average injection capacity of 96 MMcf/d. All of our storage capacity on the ET Fuel System is contracted to third parties under fee-based arrangements that extend through 2017.
In addition, the ET Fuel System is integrated with our Godley processing plant which gives us the ability to bypass the plant when processing margins are unfavorable by blending the untreated natural gas from the North Texas System with natural gas on the ET Fuel System while continuing to meet pipeline quality specifications.
Oasis Pipeline
Capacity of 1.2 Bcf/d
Approximately 600 miles of natural gas pipeline
Connects Waha to Katy market hubs
Bi-directional capabilities
The Oasis pipeline is primarily a 36-inch natural gas pipeline. It has bi-directional capability with approximately 1.2 Bcf/d of throughput capacity moving west-to-east and greater than 750 MMcf/d of throughput capacity moving east-to-west. The Oasis pipeline has many interconnections with other pipelines, power plants, processing facilities, municipalities and producers.
The Oasis pipeline is integrated with our Southeast Texas System and is an important component to maximizing our Southeast Texas System's profitability. The Oasis pipeline enhances the Southeast Texas System by (i) providing access for natural gas on the Southeast Texas System to other third party supply and market points and interconnecting pipelines and (ii) allowing us to bypass our processing plants and treating facilities on the Southeast Texas System when processing margins are unfavorable by blending untreated natural gas from the Southeast Texas System with gas on the Oasis pipeline while continuing to meet pipeline quality specifications.
HPL System
Capacity of 5.3 Bcf/d
Approximately 3,800 miles of natural gas pipeline
Bammel storage facility with 52.5 Bcf of total working gas capacity
The HPL System is an extensive network of intrastate natural gas pipelines, an underground Bammel storage reservoir and related transportation assets. The system has access to multiple sources of historically significant natural gas supply reserves from South Texas, the Gulf Coast of Texas, East Texas and the western Gulf of Mexico, and is directly connected to major gas distribution, electric and industrial load centers in Houston, Corpus Christi, Texas City and other cities located along the Gulf Coast of Texas. The HPL System is well situated to gather and transport gas in many of the major gas producing areas in Texas including a strong presence in the key Houston Ship Channel and Katy Hub markets, allowing us to play an important role in the Texas natural gas markets. The HPL System also offers its shippers off-system opportunities due to its numerous interconnections with other pipeline systems, its direct access to multiple market hubs at Katy, the Houston Ship Channel and Agua Dulce, and our Bammel storage facility.
The Bammel storage facility has a total working gas capacity of approximately 52.5 Bcf, a peak withdrawal rate of 1.3 Bcf/d and a peak injection rate of 0.6 Bcf/d. The Bammel storage facility is located near the Houston Ship Channel market area and the Katy Hub and is ideally suited to provide a physical backup for on-system and off-system customers. As of December 31, 2015, we had approximately 9.3 Bcf committed under fee-based arrangements with third parties and approximately 40 Bcf stored in the facility for our own account.
East Texas Pipeline
Capacity of 2.4 Bcf/d
Approximately 370 miles of natural gas pipeline
The East Texas pipeline connects three treating facilities, one of which we own, with our Southeast Texas System. The East Texas pipeline serves producers in East and North Central Texas and provided access to the Katy Hub. The East Texas pipeline expansions include the 36-inch East Texas extension to connect our Reed compressor station in Freestone County to our Grimes County compressor station, the 36-inch Katy expansion connecting Grimes to the Katy Hub, and the 42-inch Southeast Bossier pipeline connecting our Cleburne to Carthage pipeline to the HPL System.
Comanche Trail Pipeline
Capcity of 1.1 Bcf/d
Approximately 195 miles of natural gas pipeline
The Partnership owns a 16% member interest and operates the pipeline
Comanche Trail Pipeline is a Texas intrastate pipeline that delivers gas from the Waha Hub near Midland, Texas. The pipeline includes delivery locations for local towns and utilities in West Texas and terminates custody at the U.S.-Mexico boundary near San Elizario, Texas.
Trans-Pecos Pipeline
Capacity of 1.4 Bcf/d
Approximately 143 miles of natural gas pipeline
The Partnership owns a 16% member interest and operates the pipeline
Trans-Pecos Pipeline is a Texas intrastate pipeline that delivers gas from the Waha Hub near Midland, Texas. The pipeline includes delivery locations for local towns and utilities in West Texas and terminates custody at the U.S.-Mexico boundary near Presidio, Texas.
RIGS Haynesville Partnership Co.
Capacity of 2.1 Bcf/d
Approximately 450 miles of natural gas pipeline
The Partnership owns a 49.99% general partner interest
RIGS is a 450-mile intrastate pipeline that delivers natural gas from northwest Louisiana to downstream pipelines and markets.

The Write Stuff Club
First of all, I can't believe I haven't written in this blog for so long!!
Secondly, since I last wrote in this blog, my school has started a creative writing club and I am one of the advisors for it! The best part is that just about every faculty member in our department is an advisor; that way we can spread the love around and no one faculty member is obligated to be at every single meeting or responsible for everything club related.
As a new club, we have a fairly low membership so far, but we are gaining recognition and membership with each passing day. In fact, just today, we had someone stop by to tell us he wants to be in the club! We are confident that our club will only continue to grow as more and more people find out we are even on campus
The first big thing that we did as a club was invite an author to our campus. Originally, we had thought we would have her come just to our club meeting, but the more we talked, the more we wanted her to come so anyone across campus could come hear her speak. Angela Pisel came to our campus on Wednesday, January 25 and shared her writing process with a room full of folks eager to absorb any and everything Angela wanted to teach us!
By the way, if you haven't had a chance yet to read her book, it's called With Love from the Inside and it is AMAZING!!!
Last November our club also participated in NaNoWriMo. Most everyone in our club who participated won–reached his/her 50,000 word goal.
As a writer myself, I am thrilled to my very soul that we have FINALLY gotten a creative writing club on campus. We have talked about it ever since I first started here more than seventeen years ago, but we've never done anything about it….until now!
Check us out! The Write Stuff Club

Here is a little about this Kinder Teacher here :)
It seems like just yesterday I was starting my teaching career, but here I am ready to start my ninth year. I can't believe how fast the time has flown.
This pretty much sums me up...haha!
I couldn't chose just one favorite school supply. My favorite supply for the kids are Ticonderoga pencils, but my favorite supply for me is FLAIR PENS! Just ask my para from last year....I am pretty much obsessed.
Every single year I read this book on the first day of school. I think it helps my students realize that it will be ok at school. I also have many who will have their parents give them a kissing hand before school each day.
It is so hard to chose my favorite kindergarten blog because there are so many good ones. I am choosing Kickin' It In Kindergarten because a few years ago when I was just starting my blog Elizabeth and I connected and have been friends ever since. She is seriously the sweetest person and has some of the most amazing ideas! You need to go check out her blog!

Hi everyone,
Today I have a guest post from Betsy Jones, of the site WordSpark. Her site teaches English in an authentic context through the use of popular culture. It features authentic readings, worksheets and activities.
I like her site for both teachers and students. Teachers will enjoy the printable worksheets for their class. Students will enjoy the videos, lessons, and activities.
Here is one of her lessons that I think would work real well in class.
Do you like snacks? A snack is a small amount of food that stops you from being hungry between meals. Snacks are also eaten just because they taste good. A "midnight snack" is one that is eaten shortly before going to bed or during the night.
No matter what your preference, there is a snack food for you. There are healthy snacks, such as crunchy pretzels and juicy grapes, and there are snacks that are not as healthy, such as salty potato chips and chewy candy bars. Some people like spicy wasabi peas or a savory piece of cheese. My favorite snack is a bowl of cold ice cream. My husband doesn't eat snacks very often, but he does like to eat a piece of dark chocolate occasionally. Our cat's favorite snacks are white bread and bagels. Don't you think those are funny foods for a cat to like?
You can download a printable version of this activity with visual vocabulary here:

Found a fun system for what could happen to you if your hit points drop to 0 at Trollsmyth. Basically, one is not out of the fight at 0hp, but they are pushing their luck. Any time they are hit, 2d6 are rolled and the results compared to a table that has everything from dismemberment to adrenaline surges.
I may come up with a version of my own to put into the alternate rules appendix of Kill It With Fire.
Enjoy the Trollsmyth rules here.
Also, you can easily turn the Trollsmyth post into a pdf. I realized that was a feature sorely lacking from my blog, so I am adding it retroactively to select posts as soon as I figure out how.
EDIT: Figured it out. Turns out I missed the blogger customization options the first time I visited the site that does this. PDFs of all posts for all!

Costel Pantilimon, Not Fraser Forster, Is the Answer for Joe Hart's City WoesNovember 1, 2013
Joe Hart's recent struggles in a Manchester City shirt have been well documented, and the "mistake" that lead to Fernando Torres' winning goal at Stamford Bridge last Sunday appears to have worked Manuel Pellegrini's last nerve.
With City and Chelsea tied 1-1 in the closing seconds of a pivotal encounter between two sides challenging for the title, Hart tore off his line to sweep up a long ball and missed it, allowing El Nino to tuck it home with consummate ease.
It caps a lengthy list of "mistakes" in recent months from England's No. 1, and with uncertainty between the sticks it's unlikely the Citizens can challenge Jose Mourinho's troops come May 2014.
We use the word mistakes in quotation marks because of the bandwagon aspect in football: From the first error, anything that looks like it could be Hart's fault gets placed on his shoulders—even if he's blame-free in that particular instance.
For some reason, it becomes popular to blame—or bash—Hart.
The incident at Stamford Bridge is tough to call, as Matija Nastasic cannot let that ball bounce. Once the Serbian does, Hart panics and attempts to sweep up. Can this be solely attributed to Hart? No chance, but his irrational reaction is indicative of the pressure he's currently feeling.
His rap sheet for club and country is long and tiresome, and it's feasible to suggest it's playing on his mind.
|Joe Hart's Blunders (2013)
|Chelsea (A)
|October 27
|Rushed out to clear Nastasic's error, allows Torres a tap-in
|Bayern (H)
|October 2
|Fumbles Ribery's long shot into his own net
|Aston Villa (A)
|September 28
|Tears out of his box only for Weimann to round him and slide a winning goal home
|West Ham (A)
|April 27
|Lets the ball squirm between his legs
|Southampton (A)
|February 9
|Lets the ball squirm between his legs
Spectators now feel comfortable blaming Hart for goals that probably aren't 100 percent his fault. Some of the gaffes have been awful, but some—such as Cardiff City away in which he struggled aerially—are a team issue, not that of the individual.
One of the most famous "mistakes" in 2013 for Hart was the James Morrison strike he let in for England against Scotland, but the ball moved so violently in the air it looked impossible to stop. Blame modern football for that one.
Ahead of the Three Lions' crunch World Cup qualifiers against Poland and Montenegro, Roy Hodgson told the BBC "Hart is my No. 1." He responded with two solid performances—the one goal conceded cannot be attributed to him—and he looks far more at ease in an England kit than a Manchester City one right now.
That pat on the back from Hodgson was important, and the boss was right to move quickly to reassure Hart he was still a trusted member of the team.
That becomes infinitely harder at club level, however, when the press can set about linking Pellegrini's City to each and every excellent goalkeeper currently available on the market.
The latest link, via The Metro, is Fraser Forster, Celtic's No. 1 and Hart's direct competitor for a place in Hodgson's England XI.
Forster, known in Spain as "La Gran Muralla" (The Great Wall), is also wanted by Barcelona to replace Victor Valdes at the end of the current season. Were both to go in for him, a veritable tug of war could ensue.
This is not what Hart needs right now, and he's far from the broken clock many media outlets continue to portray him to be. Simply put, he's a world-class 'keeper who's down on his luck and out of confidence. This happens to all but the very, very finest in the business, and Hart will come back stronger than ever at some stage.
The key to him regaining form is not the club's acquisition of another world-class 'keeper, but in Costel Pantilimon coming in bearing some of the load.
The Romanian made several impressive stops to preserve a clean sheet in City's 2-0 win over Newcastle in the Capital One Cup this weekend and could be in line to start against Norwich City on Saturday.
That would actually be good for Hart, as it will allow him to sit back and work out his mistakes over the course of several weeks and come back in a confident man.
Signing another goalkeeper would do the exact opposite, and acquiring Forster could be enough for him to pack his bags and go.
There's no doubt Forster would be a wonderful player for City, but spending the money isn't necessary when all Hart needs is a little nurturing during a rough time.

Can you please give us a short introduction to yourself?
I have been working as a producer/remix & artists for about 15 years. I have produced artists such as Howard Jones, Sugababes, Andy Hunter & remixed Chicane, Ferry Corsten, Howard Jones, Love Inc, Kate Bush etc. As an artist I have recorded 3 albums under the names dba & numerous releases under the name tektonik.
So tell us about your recent work.
I have been working on & off for the last 18 months producing Howard Jones new album Ordinary Heroes. The album is a break from the classic 'electronic synth' sound that Howard is synonymous for. The songs were very personal to Howard & required a classic singer songwriter approach to the production.
Vintage Amp Room & Metal Amp Room will be the mainstays on the project above the competition!
We had it very firmly established from the start that the album would be based on live performances & not programmed. The lineup for each track was Howard's Steinway D, drums, bass, 1 guitar (electric or acoustic), string quartet, 3 piece background vocals & Howard's lead vocals. There was no other overdubs but only what that group of people could recreate live.
Although 'classic' in its lineup we used technology to the max recording at 96kHz & mixing totally within the box.
Did you take any other actions to give it a more 'classic' feel as you say?
I used a template within Logic to recreate a classic console kind of vibe with 1 eq, compressor on each channel & 2 reverbs & 1 delay for each mix.
How did you use the Softube plug-ins in this production?
Softube plugs played a large role in creating the sonic landscape.
I love the no nonsense approach to the plugin with no extra 'crap' and it sounds fantastic.
Vintage Amp Room was used for the electric guitars on the VOX style amp model. I love the no nonsense approach to the plugin with no extra 'crap' and it sounds fantastic.
FET Compressor was used on various drum channels. It's got that great smack to it.
Tube Delay was used on vocals. You get a great warm character & it works fantastic for doubling.
Spring Reverb was used on the occasional guitar. For subtle lofi ambience.
Bass Amp Room was used for the last couple of mixes on bass as it arrived later in the project.
Anything else you'd like to add?
There's no doubt in my mind that there are currently some fantastic companies producing some lovely plugins. Softube are undoubtably high up in that list & are carving out a real identity with their brilliant range of plugs.
I have just started work producing a new act for Sony Japan & within a week working with a session guitarist we have established that Vintage Amp Room & Metal Amp Room will be the mainstays on the project above the competition!

Only choose the freshest prawns - and avoid the imported ones that are flooding our seafood market. If they have travelled a long way to get to your plate, they are unlikely to be a high quality product. A good fishmonger should have all of their seafood clearly labelled and be able to tell you where their seafood comes from - and if they don't, find another fishmonger!
If prawns aren't your thing, this dish would work beautifully with squid, or any firm fleshed fish too - even a combo would make a great seafood platter. The Chimichurri sauce can also be easily adapted to your taste - feel free to amp up the chilli component if you like it extra spicy, or adjust the vinegar/oil component to suit you. As with all cooking, the golden rule is to taste as you go, and tweak the flavours until you are satisfied with the result.
The basic Chimichurri sauce I have included here is a good one to have up your sleeve, as it works with pretty much any kind of meat or seafood you can think off - particularly the BBQ kind. For vegetarians, it is delicious on grilled eggplant, zucchini or pumpkin. It keeps in the fridge for a few weeks too, so make a big batch during BBQ season so you can have it on hand and ready to serve.
Peri-Peri Prawns
with Chimichurri
You will need:
For the prawns: About 1kg fresh king prawns in the shell, 1 tablespoon fresh paprika, 1 teaspoon minced chilli (more if you like it spicy), 1 cloves minced or finely chopped garlic,1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons warm water.
For the Chimichurri: 200ml olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, 100ml white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon minced chilli (or more if you like it spicy), 1 cup flat leaf parsley, 1 teaspoon oregano, salt to season, a little warm water.
First, make the Chimichurri - put all of the ingredients in a food processor and process for a few seconds until combined. It the mixture is not liquid enough, add a small amount of warm water. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Remove the shells from the prawns, leaving the tail and the head intact (I do this, as it adds to the flavour and also looks better for presentation - but if you are really in a rush, just remove the whole shell & head) Remove the digestive tract by making a small incision by the head and using a skewer to pull it out. Set the prawns aside.
In a bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients for the prawns - paprika, chilli, garlic, salt, olive oil and warm water. mix together and then pour over the prawns. Gently combine the prawns with the marinade, mixing well. Cover and allow to marinate in the fridge for at least half an hour. (you can do this overnight if you prefer)
Cook the prawns on a hot BBQ or grill pan, taking care not to overcook them. Serve with the Chimichurri and crusty bread.
Serves 2-4 people

'zero dark thirty': the story behind the real-life cia agent
The usual advantages of portraying an actual living person didn't apply to Jessica Chastain with her role as Maya in "Zero Dark Thirty." The woman responsible for finding Osama bin Laden is an undercover CIA analyst, who wasn't exactly available for interviews or chats over coffee with Chastain as she prepared for the role.
"No, I can't call her up and say, 'Hey, can I go undercover with you to see what it's like?' I don't think you understand undercover," Chastain told MTV News' Josh Horowitz while doing press for the film.
But the serious nature of the film required accuracy on Chastain's part, so she had to turn elsewhere for the truth about Maya. One indispensable resource was former journalist and "Zero Dark Thirty" screenwriter Mark Boal.
"Having Mark Boal — our screenwriter used to be an investigative journalist — was a great help. I had three months before we started shooting to basically go to school," Chastain said. "I nicknamed him 'The Professor,' and I just picked his brain about everything he knew about the CIA, everything he knew about Maya, about the relationships, seniority with other colleagues, and I just started reading books on bin Laden and the war on terror."
Of course, not every detail about the life of the CIA agent was privy to Chastain, who then was left to fill in the blanks herself. "Anything I could not discover from my research, I had to fill in the blank, but fill in the blank and stay true to who the idea that Maya was," she said. "I couldn't fill in the blanks with Jessica Chastain knowledge. 'She went to Julliard before the CIA.' "
Answering those questions in a way that stayed true to the actual person was paramount to Chastain's portrayal of Maya, even if that meant going against her own instincts.
"I think the whole point is that I'm playing a true person and this is exactly what she did. She didn't have a boyfriend. She didn't have the guy at home after she had a hard day, who is like 'Hey, babe. Let me make you dinner.' That didn't exist for Maya," Chastain said. "She, over a decade, kind of went down the rabbit hole, getting lost in her work, until finally at the end of the movie, [the pilot] says 'Where do you want to go?' She has no idea where she goes now. Who is she now? She's trained to be unemotional and analytically precise. I'm trying to be the exact opposite. I'm trained to be emotional and kind of a hot mess, so that was a bit of a stretch."

Bulletproof fashion in Colombia
The look is bulletproof-chic in Bogota, where Colombian clothing designer Miguel Caballero rolls out this season's ambush ready wear. Gavino Garay reports.
These models are ready to dodge a bullet. Going bullet-proof is the look at Miguel Caballero's fashion show in Bogota -- where the models are sporting ambush-ready wear. But the look goes far beyond the garments. Designed to protect dignitaries, heads of state and VIPs, Miguel Caballero's Colombian-made couture is meant to protect people, discreetly. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) DESIGNER, MIGUEL CABALLERO, SAYING: "Our mission is to save human lives, preserve lives and when we are called by survivors who had an incident in real life, who was attacked by delinquency, then we feel we are fulfilling the work we came to do." Distributor Rasheda Walker says it's all about the effortless design. (SOUNDBITE) (English) CABALLERO DISTRIBUTOR, RASHEDA WALKER, SAYING: "It's amazing, it's discreet, it's lightweight, the innovation is beautiful, you don't even know that anyone is wearing it, and that's the whole point, is to have your VIP clients wearing something that no one would ever know about and it's also saving lives." Caballero's clothing and body armor company is popular among Mexican government officials, the King of Jordan and a bevy of presidents from Latin America.

Im not sure if you non-american tv viewers are fimilar with this show but I was wondering what are your thoughts on its current content?
I really think that the mid 90's and 80' shows were super funny. Like when they had Chris Farley, eddie murphy, etc
The comedy just isnt the same anymore.
Your thoughts?
your opinion is common, and the same as mine.
Its kind of publicly known and accepted that SNL isnt what it used to be, and every cast member knows it.
i don't even watch it anymore
instead, once in a while, i'll tune in at 1am for classic re-runs
Never seen the whole show only skits. I bet it was funnier when Conan was on the cast
ps. Last skit I saw was on the presidential debate, it was hilarious as fuk:
- when you say "crush the terrorists", how exacly you plan to do that?
Bush: - ...by working hard...workin saturdays?
-So your plan is to crush the terrorists by coming in on saturdays?
Bush: - If that's what it takes!

catch me on FB
as long as SNL is making some people laugh, we're stuck with it
i can't remember the last time i was home on a saturday @ 1am to actually see it..
Wave is to particle as one is to zero as bagpipes are to modem noises.
I hate it. Like Dave said, it was funnier in the early to mid 90's.
That, and Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell, and a couple of other people all really annoy me.

August 1, 2008 -- Chuck Hodges
If there was just one word to describe Chuck Hodges, it would be eclectic. But who wants to limit themselves to just one word! Energetic, entertaining, super-duper talented -- I could go on and on. His mix of music is to die for! I can guarantee that if you're a musician, you will be both jealous and in awe at the same time. Chuck can play and sing just about anything. And he does! So, don't miss him this Friday night at The City Wine Sellar. He'll be there from 7:00-10:00 pm. Deli fare served until 9:00 pm. Stop by and visit with him and friends (you know he always invites friends to join the band and join the fun). Call 252-335-1163 for more information.

Friday, July 18, 2006 -- Without Further Adieu
Last week we were entertained by the super-duper group, Further Adieu, and it was awesome as usual! This week, the stars must be aligned perfectly because we're extra-lucky enough to have an encore of sorts. The acoustic duo of Nick Simmons and JJ Jernigan, hereinafter and forever referred to as "Without Further Adieu" (get it?) will be on stage at The City Wine Sellar. So, practice your bocce ball at Mariner's Wharf, but don't forget to swing on down and visit with us on the corner of Main and Water Streets -- the coolest place in town with the coolest customers and the coolest entertainers.
