    Hopefully the Spec's north of 1431 is safe.

    This argument seems to conflate being born in the USA vs. being born in some desolate hell hole elsewhere. We all won the lottery if we were born in the USA. Then lets talk about my advantages. I was born into a two parent family. Mom and Dad were actually married. My Mom was a full-time homemaker. We spoke English in our home. I never lacked for food or shelter when I was growing up. Is that first or second base?

    I deal a lot with fraud and risk management issues. I totally get why places go to cards only. It is a huge risk to have employees make bank deposits/withdrawals. Google "bank jugging" or "restaurant safe" to check my oil on this. There is also more risk of employee fraud if cash is accepted at a store. All that said, I always try to tip via cold hard cash that is directly given to the bartender or server that I appreciated. Hard for anybody to muck that up.

    More likely -- "None of our employees have the knowledge or skills to consistently make change on each transaction."

    We had Cross booked for a Texas frat party before his big song hit. His agent tried to get out of the gig unless we paid way more money. We said no. He and his band showed up but he was kind of a bitch -- played the minimum time and and didn't play any of his hits. Glad that he has done well since then.

    Thanks for reminding me why I go to Javier's cigar bar at least 6 times a year and have never gone to Monarch!

    I'm old enough to remember what happened in the 1980s. I can see all of this boom dropping like a cow turd from a very tall cow. I hope that I am wrong. I wonder whether the stuff going down last week with the PSW guys is a bellwether. You need to have deal flow going on to support that kind of operation. Not saying ponzi scheme, but you have got to question how their investor's funds relate to specific projects.

    IDK if this is anything, but there is gonna come a time when the worm turns on all the Austin real estate Wiz kids. Maybe this is a portent of things to come?

    Be prepared to show a passport when the Federales show up in that area. It reminds me of what things looked like back when we used to go across the border to Nuevo Laredo as gringo tourists. Chiclets? Shine your boots? Maybe later? You really need it.

    That might just be the point of inflection that would cause you reconsider some of your prior life choices.

    The answer is "Yes."

    Wrong. "Christmas" is always the correct choice.

    I tip my long-time barber around 50% each time I get a haircut and 100% at Christmas. Why? Because she is really good at what she does, is always on schedule, and doesn't waste my time. Plus, she's fun to talk to and attractive, so she's got that going for her, which is nice.

    My Texas frat group of 10-12 close friends are all now in our mid 60s. We have all been to each other's weddings, baby christenings, funerals (mostly their parents, thus far!). We have an active text thread where we keep up with each other and give each other shit on a daily basis. We do boy's weekend trips to good party destinations at least annually. People forget that you will be an alumni for much longer than you will be an active. No ragrets about doing the Greek route at Texas. P.S. To get this thread back on track -- I'm quite sure that none of us had a paid consultant to help us get through the rush process!

    San Diego FTW. Non-stops from AUS to SAN are around 2:40 minutes on Alaska, LUV, and AA. Tons of good food in SAN.

    HR Departments generally screw up everything they touch, IMHO.

    That spot was previously Brio's and later Blue Baker in my recollection.
