Cannonbaaaaaaaaall!

Thumbnail image for Hamilton_Pool.jpg

Dallasites have tons of places to dip their feet into and cool off during summer, but we're not talking about the sparkling pool at your Uptown condo. Well, this time.


The DMN recently put together a list of a dozen great Texas swimming holes, some of which aren't that far away and are well worth the day trip. That's Hamilton Pool Nature Preserve near Dripping Springs pictured above, and after taking in the scene, who wouldn't want be that guy leaping gloriously off a rock. In slow motion.


Especially if you're sitting in a chair at your desk. In your cubicle. And your boss just caught you playing Text Twist. And you can just taste the cold beer bottle on your lips and smell the grill cooking... and is that coconut suntan lotion?


AAAAAAAH! OK, I'll stop. I'll stop.

The cover of "Love Story" is included in the deluxe edition of the Dallas band's album Underdog Alma Mater, out today. I'm not sure it's completely necessary. What do you think?



Order your Quick's Big Thing pictures

Quick's Big Thing happened a month and two days ago, so enough time has gone by to revisit it by ordering copies of the photos Hal Samples took of you at the ceremony. Get them here, or just take a moment to do the ol' digital flip-through.
