Arriving in Houston March 5th, 2009, we checked-in, then went on our mission to scope out locations.We hunted down college campus radio stations including KTRU at Rice University and University of Houston KUHF.We ended up being invited to an event at the Discovery Green Park downtown Houston Friday, where we encountered some of the most intrigued patrons for a live concert.Live music, great crowd, and beautiful weather summed-up our kgb Houston exciting beginnings.
kgb Special Agents went to the UT-Austin campus Wednesday to find out what questions Austin students really want answers to.
Here are just ten of the hundreds of questions we collected:
What’s a good place to eat around campus?
Why do hummingbirds fly backwards?
Where is the best sushi in the city?
What is the Dow going to bottom out at?
Is the national deficit going to be double by 2020?
How many teeth do sharks have?
What’s Steven Crane’s most famous book?
What is Keynesian theory?
How many beers could I go for right now. How many is “safe work”?
Why is chipotle so amazing?
Then, Wednesday night, kgb hosted a barbecue party on the rooftop at 23rd and Pearl. More on that later.
Or should I say Tex Mex cheese! And what better place to have a Queso Chugging contest than in Dallas, Texas. In the early morning hours, Special Agents Erik, Lili, Chris and I, ventured to Manny’s Tex Mex House to host a Queso Chugging contest. It was awesome! We had four contestants sitting around a table chugging as much Tex Mex cheese as they could in two minutes.
OMG! I don’t know how they did it, but once the clock started, they all started slurping! It was so funny! Contestant Ben #1 took one slurp of cheese a gagged…he was done! The cheese was just too thick and spicy for him to continue. Then, there were Contestants Homero and Omar. They put up a good fight finishing two huge bowls of queso dip. But my cowboy hats go off to our Queso Chugging Grand Prize, Contestant Ben #2. He finished a whopping four bowls of queso dip! Wow! He had it in his mind that eating as much queso dip as he could in two minutes was totally worth the $500 cash prize. And even though we had a garbage can next to all the contestants, luckily, the queso stayed down.
It was an awesome event. The entire staff at Manny’s stood around cheering on the contestants. We discovered Manny’s by texting a question to 542-542, and asking, “Who has the best Tex Mex Queso Dip in Dallas?” They were super happy to know that Manny’s absolutely served the best, and I think our contestants would agree.
Thanks for coming out, and making this kgb 542542 Stunt Event a huge success! Til next, keep it cheesy!
