  1. Pretty sure my wife has appendicitis so going to take her to the ER. We’re close to the seton on 38th but curious about dell at UT. Anyone have any experience or thoughts? Are all ER’s the same?
  2. Got a bunch of venison back strap and would like to grill like a steak. Can I season like a reg steak or is it better to marinade? If marinade any recs for what / how long?
  3. Just arrived from Austin. Dry and no traffic. Very easy.
  4. Never been to jerryworld and looking at tickets. Field level stuff looks like it’d be cool bc your close but can’t see actual game so watching on monitor whole time. Is that correct?
  5. The dynamic bw E Hogan and his new sidekick is horrible. Hogan talks the whole the time and the other guy just interjects every 15 or 20 seconds and repeats one or two words Hogan just said. It reminds me of something I've seen in a movie but I can't put my finger on it. It's unlistenable. Are there any podcasts or streams that talk Texas sports? Is Babers going to go anywhere? I think he is really good.
  6. Great rec - we went to San Matteo’s and it was awesome. Re Keens - we called several times bf the trip and they said they were full. We got the concierge to call once we arrived and got a table for 12 at 9:30 one night so maybe go through your hotel. Or as PW said shoot for a later time as they stay open pretty late.
  7. Any thoughts on best pizza on upper east side?
  8. Oh no!! My son’s favorite and we’re going there this weekend. Hopefully they haven’t fucked it up yet. Maybe they won’t fuck it up. Vic and Anthony’s isn’t bad. On another note we get in town tomorrow morning and are staying at the Carlyle. Is there a fun place to watch the tx game close by? Will have our 11 and 13 yr olds.
  9. What's the best way to get to Port A from central Austin if you don't want to take 35 though SA?
  10. yesterday mid afternoon at city hall in downtown Austin. waited about 15 minutes.
  11. We’re fluent and rented a car in Escondido. On the way back to the airport our rental died in the middle of the busy street in the middle of town. I jumped out and told 3 or 4 guys working at a body shop right there that we were trying to catch a plane and asked them to help me push it off the road. My wife steered while we pushed it off to the side and the head guy at the shop gave us a ride to the airport in his truck. Was really nice of those guys to help us. I told the rental car guy what happened and told him where the car was and he said no problem they’d get it towed.
  12. We stayed in a house about 20KM's outside of town. We ate in town a few times and walked through the market a few times and didn't see any. We watched the surfers on the pipeline and there were a few gringos there. We went to a couple of beaches close to town that were more swimmable that had little beach clubs and chairs laid out and those places were packed but no gringos just us. We also went to a fancier beach and tennis club one day and no gringos there. All that said, I'm familiar with your posts and extensive knowledge of Mexico and defer to you -- just providing my anecdotal experience as, overall it definitely seemed less touristy and gringo infiltrated than the 5 or 6 other beach towns we've been to down there. My favorite part of the trip was watching those guys surf the pipeline. The break is really close to shore and it's crazy how big and powerful that wave is.
  13. We flew to Mexico City this summer and spent a few days there then flew to Puerto Escondido and spent a week there. We really enjoyed both. PE is much more off the beaten path compared to other Mexican beaches we've been to (including Sayulita). I think we saw one or two groups of white folks the whole time we were there.
  14. He came to practice for a team I was on several years ago and spoke to us. He referred to himself as 'hit king' throughout the talk which was basically 20 minutes of him telling us how much of a badass he was. He was wearing a white almost shiny warm up / track suit and shiny white baseball cap with 'hit king' on the front. He had on white tennis shoes that were some kind of animal skin and old lady reading glasses with a gold metal chain attached to them. He kind of looked (and was dressed) like Elton John.
