    i thought that rhynaera sent her there with dragon eggs to appease them because they were promised a dragon. maybe i misinterpreted but i thought it was a question of suspicion since she noticed they had a dragon already. agree that daemon and corlys stories are stagnant. they have done nothing all season. lets get the show on the road already.

    was originally on showtime, i think. loved the series. something very pleasing about ewan mcgregors acting, and his wife is fantastic too. the character ewan played was such a good person, uplifting and always positive.

    all those prices are way too high. great bourbon, but almost double msrp. eagle rare is the best value on that list, but the bookers would be tempting. you see a lot more eagle rare out there than bookers.

    finebaum is a douche. even lowell galindo is less irritating.

    Never knew it as a restaurant, or as a city draw as a restaurant. The commercials seemed as failed attempts to make it so. It was used for student housing in 82 as overflow for overbooked jester residents.

    dont remember harvey's heros. i do remember texadelphia wasnt there when i first started at ut in '82, but had no clue what was there.

    the california burger, with sprouts and avocado was a top 10 burger of austin all time. belongs in the austin burger hall of fame. i could never afford the shakes. hell i probably never even bought a drink there. i was a poor college student but i was happy. the problem mad dogs had was texadelphia was about a block away and i probably liked it better, and then there's gm steakhouse, just up from that. in my opinon the alltime greatest austin burger ever made. #1 in the austin burger hall of fame.

    lets not lament one chain restaurant closing and being replaced with another chain restaurant.

    has everybody in town eaten a charcuterie board off his wife's ass?

    i would not recommend the uber. if you fly into nashville, rent a car and you are free to design your own tour. drinking too much is easy to avoid. the roads are narrow and curvy and have lots of tourists on them. just stay moderately sober/slightly inebriated, sample an oldfashioned here and there, sample some tastings, enjoy your time there. i just like the freedom of having your own car and being able to hit an extra distillery if youre up for it, skipping one if youre not, etc. the other option is you will see a ton of tourist shuttle vans in every distillery parking lot, dropping people off, picking people up, taking them to the next stop. bourbon boys, bourbon bros, just google it and you will find plenty of options to shuttle you around. those people seem to be having a good time. dont know anything about the cost, or the flexibiliity, but thats what the internet is for.

    i did two nights in bardstown and 1 in lousville, and it was about 2 nights too short. in bardstown, really enjoyed willet, makers mark, and evan williams. not sure which direction lexington is but we took the backroads from bardstown to louisville and hit four roses, woodford, turkey, and then on to frankfort and buffalo trace, which is pretty much the outskirts of louisville.

    i lived in san antonio for 11 years, and i could have my kayak in the water in 2 hrs it's closer to 4 now that i'm back in austin. so much harder, plus having to deal with the ferry now. if you only went once or twice a year, you could deal with it. but its a real bummer to try to get down there for a quick day of fishing with this drive. has definitely put a damper in my fishing.

    was in frankfort for spring break and they were flying off the shelf like they were gold. i had no idea it was hard to find now either, but was at 3 liquor stores here in austin on monday and didnt see a bottle.
  18. thrillhammer
    i've gotten turned off of specs and rarely go anymore. i've had some suspicious suggestions, that probably work on a lot of bourbon shoppers, but that's not really it. i just think total is a more pleasant experience. the one suspicious thing about total is, that have about 10 brands you never heard of or seen in your life. makes you wonder. and they'll have 8 cases of one of them stacked in the aisle. if a liquor stored ordered a case of buffalo trace, they might get one bottle. how you gonna get 8 cases of something? red flags a-flappin. if you buys 8 cases of this i'll let you use my timeshare in cabo. somekind of kickback deal going on. when i lived in san antonio it was a dearth of liquor stores. austin is lucky to have many quality independent liquor stores. i hit a few routinely, and still like to visit total but mostly for non-bourbon things.

    You don’t need to hike or raft. Lots of scenic overlooks, most you have to park and walk to so there’s your exercise.

    agree with all of this. liz was one of the worst players in the history of the series. epic failure on the producers for not vetting better. for her to say they were toast, that she had them so beat, what the hell? she needs to get out of her head a little. and blaming her wrists for not being able to make fire? she can hold a fork okay at applebees, but not a knife? going into the final three, when it was up to the jury, i thought charlie had it. he was the most strategic of the three. he lost it at the last tribal. totally came off poorly, like you said, whereas kenzie came off as the nice one. i think it was one of the best seasons ever though. so many wild turns and unpredictable stuff happening. never has there been a more unpredictable final 4 than that one. the nerdiest, mousiest, least intimidating final 4 ever. no one would have predicted those 4 to be the last standing. crazy season.

    i had forgotten about martin brothers. according to the google, they opened in '80, same year as whole foods (because they were in whole foods for awhile). closed in '97. el patio is a place i forgot that is also still there on that stretch from the early 80's.
  24. thrillhammer
    i cant think of too many places that were around in the early 80's that are are still around on that stretch of guadalupe. party barn and thundercloud are about all that come to mind. what i always thought was funny about wheatsville was there was a birkenstock store right next door. wheatsville pre-dates whole foods by 4 yrs. i doubt they give them credit but i dont think there would have ever been a whole foods without wheatsville giving them the idea.

    my thought was she had every intention of voting for him until he said he was using her as a shield. her eyes got real big as if he was shocked thats how he saw things.
