Austin’s Wes Hayden in ‘Bachelorette’ tizzy
On last night’s episode, Jillian visited Wes’ hometown — ours — and heard his self-named country band play at Hill’s Cafe. Then a booted contestant from Dallas, Jake, interrupts Wes and Jillian’s date at the Hyatt Regency, saying Wes already has a girlfriend named Laurel. Wes denies it. Laurel’s an ex, he says.
Got that?
Jillian, sharp as always, still graced Wes with a bloom. He’s in the Final Four. Now, we haven’t followed a single episode — all this was gleaned from seriese followers — but if Wes makes it to the last gasp, we’ll report in print.
Anyone know a Laurel? (See comment box for reader leads.)

Stonewall 2 in Fort Worth?
Yet Fort Worth police, along with their pals from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, arrested seven patrons of the Rainbow Lounge early Sunday during a code inspection. Associated Press and other reports say excessive force was used, and one patron was sent to intensive care for head injuries.
Two city council members have called for an investigation, as has the Human Rights Campaign.
“Brutality at the hands of law enforcement is never acceptable and these allegations demonstrate the need for a thorough and impartial investigation,” said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese. “We applaud the Fort Worth community for seeking answers to these very serious charges.”

Update: Mother Egan’s
Further conversations with reporters and bloggers reveal that the transformation won’t come until May 2010. So you have a year to soak up all that trivia and Harp Ales.
Also, Brad Womack would like to clarify: His club group is not purchasing the building, but rather taking over the lease. There is a difference. The outcome will be the same.
BTW: Played NTN trivia with gallery owner Jeff Kirk and Kip at Aussie’s last night. The bar is a good spot for a game on a quiet night, but we have to avoid that hour-long sports installment. I think I ranked No. 3,564 in the nation. Coming soon: NTN at Freddie’s, which we can practically see from our front porch.

Out & About Rewind unwinding
Don’t go out in the pouring rain and crackling thunder.
Take a few seconds, instead, to review who went out this weekend at the Out & About Rewind Gallery, back better than ever.
