Billy is nice indeed. I had a 63 ford fairlane. After a concert we where drinking a coke and had a burger when one of thier limos stopped. Billy opened the window and stuck his head out. "That's a nice car you got there." Talked a bit about it. He actualy took a picture of us and the car and gave us a cd he signed there on the spot. "Drive carefully and I realy like tha car" and than they drove off.

It's opening on April 22nd in Houston and it will be full of zztop memorabilia. They (of course) will be pouring endless amounts of Pura Vida tequila for everyone. This restaurant is also a charitable one, 75% of the proceeds will be donated to the St Jude Foundation. Nope I didn't get paid to say all of that. I'm just a Houstonian.
