I’m really perplexed by this Up in the Air Clooney movie… From the trailers I can’t exactly tell what it’s about, besides some middle-aged dude who seems lost, but it has 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and the NBR just named it their best movie of the year.

I do not understand.

Clooney fires people for a living.  The film makers talked to unemployed non-actors (does that diction work?),  and asked if they could fire them on camera.  Apparently the reactions are amazing(ly real- go figure).  And it’s Clooney, and Bateman, and Galifiankis, so…  I’m pretty stoked.

Riverboat Gambler's Guitarist Injured; Looking for Donations

Hello all,

It’s definitely been a trying few days.  On the night of Saturday October 17th, while riding his bike home, a car hit Ian Mcdougall, guitarist of our band Riverboat Gamblers.  He sustained some pretty heavy injuries including a broken hip, a broken wrist and hemmoraging under the skull along with many lacerations, torn ligaments, bruises and and scrapes.

He was rushed by ambulance to Brackenridge hospital in Austin and stayed in the ICU for 2 days before being moved into his own room where he is undergoing physical therapy while awaiting the results on X-rays and MRIs as well as a deluge of other various tests.

That being said, the prognosis is better than we had first thought.  We are happy that he is going to be ok and that he is alive and with us.  Unfortunately, not only is he in for a long recovery and is in a lot of pain, but he will be celebrating his birthday in bed with hospital food.

On another unfortunate note, there are a pile of bills currently gaining a Mt. Everest-like summit from all his hospital expenses.  We set up a PayPal account for our band mate and friend to try and help him get on top of the debt and focus on his recovery.  His PayPal account email is ian.gambler@gmail.com.  Anything you can afford to give will be greatly appreciated by Ian and his family.  Thank you all for your support and we wish Ian the speediest of recoveries.

Wow.  I didn’t hear anything about this at all.  Good to hear that he’s doing ok, as I’ve always enjoyed the Gamblers everytime I’ve seen them.  Being an Austin musician is tough as there are only a handful of groups (HAAM being the primary one) that help get insurance for our talented music makers.

Donate if you can.
