Arrow Houston Chronicle: We're Famous! Ok maybe not but oh well.. - 07-11-2008, 12:39 PM


Looks like we're famous.. a guy I sit next to here at the office was like "Hey Abel youre in the Chronicle!" I was like what?

Lisa and I went to a little little club called the Continental Club here in Houston last night to see a Beetles Tribute Band. While we were there there was a photog walking around shooting photos etc and he asked to take one of us so we did. he said it was for the chronicle but in my head I was like... "uh ok... sure it is".. my apologies to the photog!

You mean Abel is in that picture too? Glad I made my purchases from you before this. The prices are going to go up now due the fame of the prior owner.

Love the caption. Nice shot of you and Lisa (who always looks great). You two will prolly be celebrities at the Continental Club now. Hope you had a good time.

I thought I was the first to see this and was just about to call you. Abel and Lisa featured on a happy hour story. How funny.

Good thing Lisa is in that photo...have to boycott it for running "ugly" photos otherwise! (Of course, I am probably in that same group!)
