  1. I kind of like Paris in the wintertime... it is a very winter-friendly city to me. Have been there during cold months before and I liked it. My suggested itinerary... Then buy a Chamonix Unlimited pass for 6 days and ski up and down the valley. Done.
  2. Yeah I feel like YouTube TV sometimes makes it more challenging... trying to remember if I had an easier time using apps (like the ESPN app) or something similar. If you use Nord (my choice), here are the NA server locations below. I will connect to Italy to watch Italian TV and soccer games sometimes.
  3. Never given to a big charity have you? "Oh, I like charity... let me send them $25" Charity proceeds to spend $50 sending me mailers asking for more.
  4. If that's a pro-REM song, you're losing your case. That song sucks.
  5. Yeah, its amazing how there are times in Austin where you feel like you are on vacation and a world away from everything. Never been to St Cecilia but isn't that the hotel that some of the bigger musicians use to get away from everyone? Anyway... T-minus what... 49 hours?
  6. Gooooood luck... as an Italian, I will tell you - get a VPN set up and use your streaming option of choice.
  7. It will eventually be like Harvey... memories are short, people will move on and of course many will rebuild in dangerous areas. Just be sure to buy something higher up. Always look where the water flows... (signed, a former Houston resident)
  8. I've already seen one tell everyone to go and buy toilet paper. Great. Thanks for starting a run on the stores.
  9. To be honest, putting any of one's own money anywhere on the gulf coast... Galveston, Biloxi, Port A, Pensacola, whatever... a fool's errand.
  10. 91? I wish... don't believe it.
  11. I'm so dumb... totally forgot about Sisters of Mercy on Sunday... same with James and Johnny Marr. My screwup. Could you see Eldritch? Looked a tad foggy... kind of like Echo & The Bunnymen. "If its foggy enough, they won't know I'm old."
  12. Check your local/neighborhood FB pages. Usually a lot of people on there trying to unload at face.
  13. Have them hang out at Whitewater Amphitheater with their weed... they might change their tune. Know quite a few people popped there.
  14. Remember when the city of Houston tried to set rules on building in floodplains and the developers lost their minds? Yeah... they'd rather build floodable/destroyable cheap houses and then rebuild. In the end, it costs less to build well.
  15. Yeah, so this is the funny part... when we lived in Houston, we eventually realized lots of people we knew used marijuana but just hid it really well. We went to a party at a friend's house... well-off, suburban party and there were people hiding between two houses smoking weed. Fast forward to moving to Austin... nooooooo one hides it here. I'm not talking about going to Zilker or ACL... I mean, gobs of people... gummies, vape, OG joints. There are tons that use. In suburban places like Houston, people like to put on a little facade and hide it so there's more than we realize. In Austin, it is just out in the open.
  16. I heard a rumor that Joe's Crab Shack will have BOGO jalapeno poppers when they get their first star.
  17. Yup... it does seem like he's aging quickly and I think Biden has been great. By the way, if you didn't see Dana Carvey do Biden this weekend, do yourself a favor. It was really good.
  18. These insane rain events are becoming more common. Wants a local example? Wimberley got something like a foot of rain in 4-6 hours in 2015 when the Blanco took houses off of their foundation. That same storm rolled on down to Houston and dumped 5" of rain in one hour on our house.
  19. Who could have ever predicted this in Alabama? I'm not sure why saying reminds me of this Ketchum classic...
  20. I saw that commercial over and over again while in Houston visiting my parents. It is one of the worst commercials I've ever seen.
  21. Really enjoying listening to Sit Chloe right now. Good sound. Can't wait to see Mannequin Pussy shortly after.
  22. That's awesome to hear. The two back-to-back delay of games were nice
  23. Did the crowd sound loud? I was on the upper deck so it's always hard to tell.
