dan
p.s.
i'm gonna get me one of them beanies as soon as i have my first million seller.

 

I saw Billy at Paso a few years back. It was hot, really hot, he was wearing black leather pants, black shirt black vest and black leather jacket and of course that headwear. I know he is a very nice man, a real car guy, a terrific guitar player, but did I say it was hot? I felt sorry for his style! He must have been very uncomfortable.

 

No matter how uncomfortable he was, he was still the coolest dude there!

 

VERY COOL guy!

I met him once when I was doing Gearhead Magazine. Then a few years ago in Paso he comes up to me and says "Hey Kirk." I had met him once, a couple years prior. Then he says "I have something cool that you'll dig." He pulls out this crazy flask with a digital drink recipe thing on the side, signs it and draws a picture of himself, then gives it to me. I was blown away for days. Too cool! Needless to say, it's in my gl*** case at the house.

 

His book is the ****! Buy it, do yourself a favor...seriously. KNUX!

 

I think i might have a few of you guys whipped. In terms of meeting him personally about 10 years ago, me and an old high school buddy sat a table with him all night just the 3 of us plus a few flush cheek ******* gals at our local gentlemans club here in ****inson, Texas. His mom actually lives on Galveston Bay, just a couple of miles from my shop.

 

Slampala! The dude jammed with Jimi......................rock on Mr.G!

 

Here's a pic I took of him at Cal Car Covers a couple years ago.

 

Just one cool cat.

 

billy eff gibbons came to our place in south georgia last summer to look at a desoto we have. guess he heard we had it, cuz we never knew he was coming. just showed up. and yes, in the heat of the 98 degree day, he was still wearin that beanie...... it was cool meeting him, tho.....

 

I've heard that hes the best guitar man Jimi ever heard.

 

Mighta been Jimmie Vaughn's wife and twin daughters. They were there.

 

I saw him at the So Cal open a couple of years ago.......his body guard gave me a mean look. I was all aquiver for days...............

 

that black scion was done for his misses,it was in socal speed shop on monday morning

 

Dude....That's just WRONG!!!!!

 

Enough with the comments about the Scion.....Let's see it!!!! An xB with skirts...What kinda **** is that. I don't care if he's a hot rod hero or not!!!!!

 

I met Billy in Louisville a couple of years ago.
I was so delighted that he showed so much interest in my chain drive car.
It was a pleasure to have had such a pleasant visit with such a neat guy.

 

Snapped a pic of him and barris...I've met him a couple times and had a chance to sit and have dinner with him..He came in a sat next to me at a seafood restaurant in detroit...he was in town playing with the stray cats...nice guy...really now he **** when it comes to cars....

<!-- rbox ends here -->The good news for now-newlyweds Paul and Patricia Burgess is that IKEA picked up the tab for their Valentine's Day wedding.
The bad news was that because they were winners of an IKEA contest, the event drew print and TV media as well as friends and family.
Paul seemed bemused by the fuss, which was no doubt made fussier by the presence of the ceremony's officiant, ZZ Top guitarist Billy F. Gibbons.
The Burgesses didn't know about Gibbons' involvement until Wednesday. "We met with them a week ago," Paul said, "but nothing like this was mentioned. Then yesterday, a co-worker told me she'd heard that Billy Gibbons was going to be performing a wedding ceremony for some contest winners at IKEA."
Paul is a Conroe native. He met Patricia at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Ins***ute in Troy, N.Y., two-and-a-half years ago. They won the wedding by filling out a one-page entry form at IKEA.
Gibbons struggled a little bit through the ceremony, trying to peer over his Ray-Bans to read his comments.
"They asked me beforehand if I'd be wearing my sungl***es," he said, "because it's part of my, you know, my uniform. I said, 'Of course.' Then you get inside and can't read a thing. But I worked through it."
IKEA, a haven for inexpensive stuff, didn't have any cheap sungl***es on display. But the buffet table included a sphere of Swedish meatballs on skewers stuck into a melon.
There was no concern about guests p***ing out or making a mess on any of the store's array of furniture. Because IKEA doesn't have a liquor license, food-and-drink revelry was limited to meatballs and other food accompanied by sparkling g**** juice.
Most guests hit the buffet after snapping photos with the newlyweds and the officiant, who according to his reps, is permitted, too.
"This is about the twelfth time I've seen him do one of these," said J.P. Shellnutt, a Houston friend of Gibbons' who attended. "He always does a nice job, a very sweet ceremony.
"But, of course, he loves IKEA. He's also here for the free (stuff)."
