Farmers Market Report: August 24-25, 2013

The slightly cooler weather has been great for the crops, not to mention the rain we have been having here and there. There are a few things that are still producing, but many farmers are waiting for fall plantings of peppers and tomatoes to mature.

Finally, You're Next Is Now

Two years ago, a packed Alamo Drafthouse was ripping the roof off at the U.S. premiere of You're Next. And then it disappeared, seemingly without a trace. Finally, the wait for a multiplex release is over. "Hallejulah!" exclaimed star Sharni Vinson.

CONQUERING THE SAUCE

When it comes to hot sauces, I would say that I have had the average exposure with Tabasco on my tacos and Sriracha on my noodles.

Jailhouse Crock

It hasn't exactly been the best summer for David Dewhurst. Since the first special session, the Lite Guv has moved from flop to flounder, involving himself in a succession of shitstorms. Now, Allen police have released audio of him peddling influence to bust a family member out of jail. Dewd! Maybe it's time to hire a publicist?

Okkervil River Goes 8-Bit

It's a whole new world out there in the world of promoting and selling music. It's gotten so bad (or good) that indie stalwarts Okkervil River have taken to the internet with an episodic video game featuring throwback graphics that harken back to the heyday of Sierra On-Line (King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc.). Prepare to enter the Silver Gymnasium.

Lake Bell Is 'In a World' of Her Own
