Suck On It, New York!! Houston Has Direct Flights To Branson, Missouri!!
In case you've been experiencing the typical Houstonian's self-doubt about whether or not we're really a sophisticated metropolis, you can relax.
Houston is now one of only five American cities with direct flights to Branson, Missouri. On real planes, too!
Branson Air will fly charters out of Hobby starting in May. Non-stop, muthafuckaz. The new service is part of ExpressJet Airlines, the same wonderful people who fly as Continental Express. (Note: Don't read this unless you want to have your parameters of "wonderful" broadened.)
Who are the other four major metropolises to be so blessed? One is Austin, which has a natural music connection -- one's the Live Music Capital of the World, the other's the Live Music Capital of the Early-Bird Special.
The rest of the cities? Big time, baby.
They include, according to the Houston Business Journal, Des Moines, which is the largest city in Iowa; Shreveport, which is one of the five or six biggest cities in Louisiana, and Terre Haute, Indiana, which....which....is the largest city in the Greater Terre Haute Metropolitan Area.
Dallas? San Francisco? Boston? On the outside looking in.
For a taste of what's in store, head to the Branson webpage. Just under the "O" listing for shows, you have the Osmonds AND the Oak Ridge Boys. One need look no further than that, sir.
But if you think otherwise and are still unconvinced, know this: Yes, Yakov Smirnoff is still in town.

You didn't think he would do "Moon River," but then bam -- second encore!!

Tom Mullica Hospitalized.
This e-mail comes from Cox South Medical Center in Springfield.
I was admitted today...
Briefly...Stephen and I are in our touring season and about a month ago, while performing in Alliance, NE, I almost passed-out on stage. I stopped my routine and appologized to the audience as Stephen brought a chair on stage. I tried to catch my breath and couldn't. I was very weak and disoriented. I did Guzzlers Gin while seated and continued to tell the audience that something was wrong. I told them they could get a refund because I couldn't continue with the show. I went into the wings after thanking them and was met by 3 emergency techs. I was rushed to the emergency room where I got poked and prodded. The doctor on call told me to return home, cancel my tour and see my personal doctor.
To make a long story a bit shorter, I had blood work done and was told to have a bone marrow biopsy in Springfield - which I did. My white blood cell count was through the roof and the doctor who did the biopsy told me that IF my white blood cells were immateur and numbered more than 20% I was in trouble. The next day I found out that over 40% of my cells are immateur and that I have ACUTE MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA.
So, I'm in the cancer ward for 30 days of high level chemotheropy!!!
I've had to cancel our remaining tour dates and postpone our 16th of March opening in Branson. Things don't look good but I wanted you to hear this from me rather than through the grapevine.
Stephen and I are taking this day by day. More later ... they're hooking me up to the chemo-drip right now.
Love to you all - Tom
