We always hit up keens. Went last week and it was great. Really cool old place with a lot of history. A bunch of old rooms full of old paintings and such. Layout reminds me of an old New Orleans restaurant in the quarter.

Yeah we’ve got a few other families with us and I think it’s gonna be cards and ballgame at hotel. Carlyle is great and rooms have a big front room that will work. Thanks for the reply.

Got in last night. Staying at the Carlyle just killing time today then early dinner at keens. Any thoughts on a good place to watch Texas Iowa state tonight close to either place? We’ll have our 10 and 12 yr olds with us.

Twice is correct. A bit more detail - Jones threaded the needle and was able to file FSS under the relatively new sub V provision of chapter 11 which was created during covid for small businesses and is more debtor friendly. Jones will soon attempt to confirm a debtor friendly sub V plan for FSS which will call for a shorter plan term and lower payout rate than the creditors want. That part is unfortunate but the good news is the over $1.1 billion judgment against him personally cannot be discharged and, unless the discharge finding is flipped on appeal, will never go away unless settled or satisfied in full.

I've never ridden the DART. Is it easy to purchase tickets at the station or better off downloading the gopass app I see on their website?

Looking at tickets now and it's been several years since I've been. Questions -- are there any areas / sections to avoid on the TX side? Are you obstructed if you're low in the end zone? I know those typically aren't the best for seeing the plays develop but I'll have a 10 and 11 year old with me who will prefer being close to the action even if it's not the best view for seeing plays develop etc. Better to be higher up in lower section or lower in upper section or does it matter? Any specific sections better than others?

I went to Mum Foods on Manor yesterday. it was great -- brisket, pastrami (as good or better than Pieous), pork ribs, two kinds of sausage -- all very very good. It's also a deli so they have a bunch of cold sandwiches and a bunch of really good sides (excellent mustard potato salad, pimento cheese -- all kinds of stuff). I'd never heard of it...will definitely be back.

Delta fucked me a few weeks ago and I got stuck at JFK for the night. My wife got me a room at this place while I was dealing with the shit show. I had no idea it existed. I just followed the signs and was completely blown away when I saw it -- one of the coolest places I've ever seen. Lobby, bar, restaurant, room, even the hallways were amazing.

I’m in Austin but don’t have att. I did the express vpn thing and got mlb tv so I could watch the Astros. It worked Friday night but yesterday and today it says the games are on some list that won’t allow mlb tv to show them. I think this is diff from local blackout? Anyone have any experience with this?

Hardge seems like a nice guy but just can’t speak fluidly. Horrible to say bc I like him but he just sounds like a dumbass — so awkward when he stumbles through ads. Zay wouldn’t be horrible if he calmed down but he can’t seem to help himself and he’s getting worse and worse. He’s abandoned his normal voice and now almost exclusively screams and rants and raves. He’s so bad lately it’s unlistenable. Same with Chad. Not horrible when he’s not excited but that’s hardly ever these days. They feed off each other and get riled up and it’s just so so bad. Hogan isn’t the most dynamic but is a pro and can anchor a show. I think rod is great. He can get a little excited every once in a while but overall I think he’s really really good. His deep dives into stats and analysis are great. I know people disagree but I’ve always liked ward and really enjoy his anecdotes from his playing days and general old school ut / swc knowledge.

did they say anything about who else was staying, leaving, what the format will look like for those staying?

Gonna be in Boston for one night with my daughter on our way to Martha’s Vineyard. Get in about noon Saturday and leave the next morning. Any recs for great hotel with good area to walking around and good restaurants close by? Only one night so not so worried about cost if we can find a memorable place. Appreciate Hate’s recs above but it’s been a few years since he posted so wanted to check. Thanks Ps would love to to see the Sox (they play at 4 sat) but daughters not a huge baseball fan and my boy would be pissed if I did that w/o him.

Thank you!

We were Island hopping in Greece for a week and then flew to Florence last Thursday. I took a train to Rome last Friday and flew out on Sunday (which was a clusterfuck shit show bc Newark cancelled all westbound flights Sunday evening -- Newark Airport was like Thunderdome it was fucking horrible -- I somehow made the last flight out to Austin but ended up getting in at 4 in the morning Sunday it fucking sucked) but my wife and the children stayed in Florence with some other moms and kids. Wife and kids are supposed to fly out of Rome Saturday but there's a fucking strike at the airport. United is telling them they can still leave if they leave earlier Saturday (strike doesn't start until late morning) but wants to put them on Turkish Air to Istanbul then connect to Chicago then to Austin. My question for this esteemed group -- any experience with Turkish Air? The internet tells me it's safe (much safer as of a few years ago) but i'm skittish. I'm also concerned about them being stuck in Istanbul without me if they somehow miss their connection. Are my concerns valid? Is Istanbul not a place you'd want your wife and kids to be stranded? Am I just a racist paranoid asshole?

Running an errand and could stomach about 30 seconds of Zay Collier’s ranting and raving. Holy shit it’s so so bad. Do they not have people there that’ll take these guys how bad it is?

I think I asked this on the old site but any recs for repair of Rolex Sub (circa late 90's) in Austin? It goes when you pick it up and move it around but the dial won't turn the arms or the date. Thank you.

has anyone confirmed the horn's death on air?

In high school a buddy of mine was cleaning fish on the back of a commercial deep sea fishing boat when a big wave snuck up on him and threw him out of the boat. The crew was always playing jokes / hiding from each other to avoid work on the way back in and no one thought anything of his absence. They got back to the dock and realized he wasn't on the boat. They alerted the coastguard and other boats in the area (they run similar routes) and another boat came across him on the way back in and grabbed him just before sundown. He said he'd never forget the boat disappearing over the horizon as he just floated in the open ocean. He said he had a talk with himself and thought he could either panic and be fucked or relax and wait/hope that someone came along and saw him. He took off his Tevas, velcro'd them together and put them behind his neck to help floating. He stayed as calm / still as possible and just floated. He lost track of time and said he could have been there for 30 minutes or 3 hours before the boat came by and grabbed him.

I went last night and was shocked at how shitty all of the WVU pitchers were -- all mid to low 80's, shitty control, no movement. We had a ton of good swings and were just sitting on pitches. Scored a lot but could have scored a lot more early. Their hitters looked like shit (but for the lefty hitting nearly 500) too. Can't believe they've done as well as they have.

Yeah Jeff and Ed have quite a bit of nostalgia for me and I like that. I really like Babers but Hardge is just so so bad. He seems like a nice guy but just consistently awful takes. And listening to him struggle through trying to read ads is brutal.

Trying to buy a parking pass and it says none available they sell out parking ?

Yes I think rod knows how bad Hardball is and it’s awkward for him bc they’re friends and he’s a nice guy. I do like the third guy on their show. Chads occasionally tolerable in very small doses when he’s talking sports (as opposed to today when him and zay went through that top 20 hip hop artist list TWICE and then a third time when that mouthbreather that does the show with way called in) but listening to a whole show is torture. He absolutely loses his shit after every single break when he tries to guess the tune. It’s exhausting.

Road trip the past two days listening to horn app and holy fucking shit Chad and his sidekick are bad. Jesus. I want to like rods side kick but he’s fucking horrible too. So so bad. I do think rods very good but that other dude can barely fucking talk and his takes are just objectively wrong.

At least I’m young and got my health.

And yes I got off of 10 and drove around a bit bf heading to mansurs. Plaintiffs firms and poverty abound.
