Bay Area
Stay in Fisherman's Wharf, still a pretty safe area. Alcatraz is a cool trip. Ride a cable car down to Chinatown for a meal, but go no further than Chinatown. Then get the hell out of there. Rent a car and drive down the coast to Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel-by-the Sea, Pebble Beach. All are much better places than SF.

Favorite Happy Hour joints?
Kicking this thread back into action. Sweetwater Oyster Bar on Whitestone in Cedar Park has a M-F HH that kicks butt. $1 gulf oysters on the half shell, a bunch of $10 small plates, good drink specials. Fun place. https://sweetwateroysterbar.com/

Nope. But they have a great track record with all of those places. I'm a long-time Ziziki's fan, but look forward to trying Nikki.

Texas BBQ
Texas Chili Parlor Frito Pie is perfection -- not a bean in sight!

I get the frito pie thing, but the beans do not belong on there!

Hunting ‘23/‘24: Bag ‘em and Tag ‘em
Same here. And we look down on folks that don't talk honestly about what they've seen each hunt. No private silos.

That is simply gross. "Waco" is correct. Better to put it straight in the garbage than to have it be processed through your body.

Great happy hour vibe at Symphony Square, but I don't eat there since Texas Chili Parlor is so close by.

Stolen Check Fraud
Pretty much the only checks I actually write these days are the ones that I put directly in the collection plate on Sundays. Glad the situation worked out for you.

Best Fried Chicken
We don't always see eye to eye politically, but big pos rep for you having a son that was the Bill Miller chicken guy! Hope that he is doing well. I spent a bunch of time in HS working at Catfish Parlour and I can still put on a righteous catfish fry with all of the trimmings.

Perhaps the best thread on Surly. Thanks.

Love Bill Miller fried chicken!

Even the worst fried chicken I've had has been pretty good.

They don't do fried chicken livers, though. Bush's on Williams Drive is where I go to have that guilty pleasure. With cream gravy, of course!

Austin Brunch Spots besides Skrip Clubs
The Austin Club downtown is starting a Sunday Brunch open to the unwashed masses every 2nd & 4th Sunday, beginning June 9th. 11 am to 1:30 pm. Only $22.95. Bloodys and champagne are extra, of course!

Costa Rica
I'm with a group of couples that have rented a large beachfront house in Playa Langosta in February. Anybody have any knowledge of that area? Have not seen it mentioned on this thread. Thanks.

Valentina's owners stealing tips
Pretty much a shell with a concrete floor, as I recall.

Pretty clean knee surgery scar though. Pos rep to his surgeon.

Valentina's owners stealing tips
Main Street Buda has a pretty cool scene going on. Nate's would be a good place to have a Surly event.

Perfect analogy! I was thinking the same thing when I posted this morning. What a great movie!

Valentina's owners stealing tips
There is all kind of due diligence screw ups going on here. Calling out to @YGIFS here, but the Buda EDC is using hotel tax revenue here. They should be accountable to somebody.

Valentina's owners stealing tips
So far, no repercussions at Buda EDC. Main Street Buda is thriving. Not really sure why they needed to go all out on Valentina's. That is a big space. Something along the line of a food court like Liberty Hill's Main Street Social would make more sense. And guess what? That place is privately financed!
