  1. Also mixed with a grown-up Short Round from Temple of Doom. Or just exactly that and not mixed with anything else.
  2. The wife had to work later than expected, so we just went to via 313 since it was close.
  3. Catching an early dinner with the wife in South or Central Austin before a movie tonight. Looking for casual and not crazy expensive and not a long tasting affair. I haven't been eating out regularly since before the pandemic, so I am out of the loop on new places. Anything noteworthy in that vein?
  4. Bringing my son to the game tonight, any easy spots to park and walk less than a mile with a kid? We could park and take a train over, he likes stuff like that, but I haven't been paying attention to how the train operates since I live way south.
  5. That's a really strong cast, damn.
  6. I have a friend who I have to get to some meetings as soon as possible. He just got out of the hospital, he has some health serious health issues but it's impossible to see what is actually caused by or just exacerbated by his drinking. He unfortunately would not go into an in-patient program and wanted to do things on his terms. If you have any recommendations for meetings in Austin, north or Mueller area, please let me know. I am looking at the Northland group, but would love to hear if there are any that make sense for a newcomer. I'm sure he'll need a sponsor, but I just have to get him into a meeting first. I haven't really shared on this thread since we moved over to the new site, but I check it a lot. I was dealing with a lot of stuff a few years ago and my drinking got way out of hand. I tried to moderate, but I was always itching for more and working so hard to keep it under control seemed pointless, especially when I knew eventually I would say fuck it and go wild. I quit for good a little over 4 years ago and haven't had any desire to start back up again. Appreciate everyone in here. Thanks.
  7. I really enjoyed Baroque motions and The Commute Home. It's so much more interesting with performers vs the midi arrangements. Did you leave any of the programmed parts in the mix to support the live stuff? I was just wondering because some of the reverb on the supporting chords sounds similar to what I hear in the orchestral libraries.
  8. I think she had to add another minute of stoppage time in stoppage time due to the two DC guys fouling each other and rolling around for a while.
  9. 3 points on the road courtesy of that keeper. I'll take it. Edit: maybe I should hold off on that pronouncement, 8 minutes of stoppage time, yeesh
  10. That left footer, holy fuck what a goal that would have been.
  11. Lol Wolff got booked.
  12. And that was a fucking gorgeous goal.
  13. That's a great goal.
  14. That was utter bullshit, seems almost like a straight red to me.
  15. A fucking header on an open goal from 3 yards away and it hits the crossbar. Holy shit.
  16. Maybe Ring meant to draw that ridiculous yellow to wake up the team. Kinda like Tom Penders whipping his sports coat onto the court.
  17. Fuck, two goals Urruti has blown.
  18. Trying to fit passes onto tight windows in our own end is going to end badly. That goal looked like a practice session.
  19. Can't even move the ball to midfield at the moment, not sure what the shit we are doing.
  20. First baritone, first Gretsch for me. It's extremely fun to play. I kinda wanted the bigsby version, but GC had this one used for a very low price and I couldn't resist.
  21. Jesus Christ, I don't even know how to process that comparison but it's goddamn hilarious. You've been really inspiring for a while, Sidis, so I'm really glad you heard things you enjoyed. Thanks everyone for listening and yeah, I think it's kind of an unusual album as well, but I had about a decade worth of blocked creativity that had to be let out in waves, so I decided to just let some of the songs be what they were and not try to worry about style or cohesion. This was just about finishing something for ourselves and then moving on to other ideas later on.
  22. @AnotherUTFan How long did it take to get your vinyl after you ordered it? I heard there were insane delays for a year or more, so I didn't even bother looking into getting any made.
  23. New album is out there now on all the streaming places. I still need to finish the layout for the CDs so we can order them, but message me if you are interested in getting one at a surly discount. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/spaceshipandson/twelve-mouth-mountain
  24. We look like shit, bring some subs in please.
  25. Well shit, tie game.
