JR Blogs: Austin Promotes Damage on Lopez Show, Harvard University NLO Induction

Source: JR's Blog

Talked to Steve Austin briefly Monday via phone. He's out promoting "Damage" which will be released and available for you to purchase on March 23. We'll head to Wal Mart for our copy, most likely. Steve is on the George Lopez Show tonight (Tuesday) on TBS.

Steve will be getting an induction into Harvard University's National Lampoon Organization. Randy Savage and John Wayne, for the record, are also honorary members.

Steve will be in Boston for the Harvard function and I hear that there may be a Stone Cold Beer Party in the works in conjunction with the festivities. This is a fun honor for Steve and the Beer Party should be a hoot. Yes, the real Stone Cold is Tweeting at steveaustinBSR.

Congrats Steve!!!
