  1. Great family. i grew up with the youngest one. They owned a number of stores around the Austin area. Just ran into the mom last weekend. I knew a number of people in the movie as extras. Played baseball on that field growing up. A lot of those scenes were filmed in Allandale where I grew up. The front yard that they cut through in the chase scene was lived in by a kid at my elementary schools house. There is an old cemetery right behind it. The were some scenes also shot Northwest rec center on Allandale/Koenig lane. The hazing scenes were shot at a old movie theater on Hancock close to Burnet.
  2. Dos Gatos in San Marocs has some great Kolaches as well, both fruit and meat Kolaches ...I don't care what they are called because they are good.
  3. Is this when he tweets to CDC start?
  4. Yep, loved this place as a kid. I would throw so much of that butter sauce on thick pieces of bread and throw it on the grill. It was so good. I never understood why some people would go there and then pay someone to cook the food. If you want someone to cook your food go somewhere else. The whole point of this place is to cook your own damn steak. Also another place that I loved as a kid was La Tapatia on East 6th right next to Cisco's Bakery. Little Italy has been mentioned a couple times as well.
  5. I believe it was line of site to the Capital. Particularly from the balcony at the LBJ library. There are a lot of places across town that are supposed to have an unobstructed view of the capital.
  6. I was never able to sign up monthly via paypal. Finally said screw it and paid for a year and that worked. Wonder if it has something to do with the auto renewal. Order #428 after days of trying.
  7. Just tried, but I got the following error: There was an error processing the payment. Please try a different payment method or contact us for assistance. Any ideas? That was for the autorenew per month
  8. I donated on the last site and will on this one. I inquired about it when this site first got going, so anytime you guys are ready let us know. Come football season the poors are going to get going again and I don't know how I am going to handle it.
  9. College Room mate was on Hornfans in the late 90's so I lurked as well, especially after Simms committed. Joined, but still lurked. Made it over to Shag when Ramonce Taylor was in court.
  10. Good friend lives in that area too and I heard about it about 2 weeks ago. That is some crazy shit.
  11. Infamous is when you're more than famous! This guy El Guapo is not just famous, he's IN-famous!
  12. It’s all over the second they ride up Thai’s bucket
  13. I think you told us how it was weighted on the old site. Can you go over that again here?
  14. Yeah, the big red ones. Still plastic and still gets thrown away instead of being reused.
  15. HEB charges .25 a bag if you don't have your own. They have been doing it since the bag ban started. Don;t know if the proceeds go anywhere, but they sell them...when they are open.
  16. Shit! I hate it when I get my Schwartz twisted.
  17. Looks like a wreck with possible death out towards Dripping on 290.
  18. I'll take the over...way over. 6+
  19. Was in Steamboat Springs last summer and we were walking on a path to a waterfall. I heard a rustling to my left about 10 yds up and thought it was anything other than a moose. We had just been talking about moose and how they can be territorial and dangerous when threatened to our 11 and 8 year old a couple days before. Then this giant fucking moose steps out onto the path and just stares at us for what seems like forever. I saw it and instinctively told everyone to stop and walk backwards. My wife(no pics) and 11 yr old son said fuck it and pulled out their phones and stated filming and taking pictures. I heard my 8 year old daughter scream and then crying...looked behind and she was 40 yds away in no time. Looked back at the moose and it continued on its way and then laid down in the thick brush about 40 yds away. It was a pretty cool experience. I will see if I can dig up the pics of the moose(not the wife). My 8 yr old daughter is way faster than I would have thought when confronted by a moose. I am pretty confident now that she will not be the one that a moose kills or bear eats. With all that said, I have no idea idea what you are supposed to do. I have heard that you are supposed to find a tree and get the tree between you and the moose.
  20. They have been talking about making a series about The Mighty 8th. There has been rumors years, but the last update I remember was about a year ago with rumors of a 500 million dollar budget. No idea where they are in making it reality though.
  21. Is this the new ghost stories thread...always liked reading that around Halloween
  22. He lived next door to my grandmother for years in the Memorial area. Met him lots of times as a young kid. Still have one of his painting prints with a personalized autograph on it. RIP Alan Bean
