While the majority of the artists welcome the assortment of faces in the crowd, a few of them admit that the song selection and between-song conversation must be altered slightly in order to appease everyone. “I try not to drop too many f-bombs,” In gram said. “But nobody’s perfect.” Showmanship and emotions are key to the success of the performances without pyrotechnics and smoke machines over whelming the sets of these Texas Coun- try-Americana-Folk-Rock bands. Songs of love, hate, relationships, beer, fishing, friendships, growing up and life strike a chord with audience members as they drive back to the admitted influence of country legends including Willie Nelson, Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell. As the music grows in size and accep tance, so does the list of influential artists. Newer members to the expanding lyrical landscape acknowledge their appreciaii for the long-time legends, but they’ve eluding others to their spheres of influen “We try not to let it affect our pen mance, but some of these guys are inn- dating to talk to,” Eli said. “They are ones who influenced us. It’s an honorjux be on the same bill as them.” Emotion and influence aside, thetrani| ity at Lake Bryan comes to an end at no Saturday, Sept. 4. The size of the crowd the excitement generated by the culmina of these artists is likely to give waytoso: country chaos. « u MT, alth Center. L.L.P. Doctors of Chiropractic Drs.

The grand jury indictment of Brian David Mitchell, returned last September but kept under wraps, includes kidnapping and sexual assault charges against him and his wife, Wanda Barzee. The indictment will move the case toward trial without a public preliminary hearing that might have required sensitive testimony from Elizabeth. Mitchell was expected to be arraigned Thursday, when a trial date could be set. The 50-year-old Mitchell and Barzee, 58, are both charged with kidnapping Elizabeth, then 14, from her bedroom at knifepoint in 2002. The girl was allegedly taken into the foothills near her home for nine months, sexually assaulted and kept as Mitchell’s second wife.

THIS WAY OUT Margarita Rocks Texas, Avthj JAY SLOVACEK From the inexpensive decor to the abundance of televisions, this restaurant and bar establishes itself as a student joint. Manager Cameron Smith calls it a “hangout for students and post-students,” and added that he wants the environ ment to be unique and local. “We aren't a chain restaurant and we want that to show,” he said. Things are different, from the televisions to the Tex-Mex menu offered. Some quick surveying (and sampling) pointed to favorites such as queso, quesadillas and hamburgers. The menu was developed by the same exper tise that brought us Cafe Eccell, La Bodega and The Library. The drink specials are a good match to the environment. Bar drinks are $1.50 daily, and Smith is planning specials throughout the se mester. Drink and food specials will make watching Aggie athletics, the NFL and the NBA a little more fun, particularly if you sit in one of the leather couches facing the big-screen televisions.
