School's out.  Many of the Stillwater faithful headed home for the holidays, or maybe even to Arizona to see the Big12 Champions crush Stanford.  However, there were a handful of stragglers (myself included) who were still looking for one last good time before the big holiday weekends to come.  I'm pretty sure we all found that at Ell's, a Stillwater staple for local, grassroots music and an even better beer drinking hideout.  Concrete floors, smokey glowing lights, pool, alchohol, great people, music...just about all you could ask for in a bar.  Special thanks to Lori for having us for a last second show and to Vicki out at Hippie Ranch for the hospitality.  Looking forward to being back on January 13.  CUTHERE
