  1. Sorry... I'm close to a million miles and I still find air travel magical. Yes, its not glamorous but whatever. It takes me to new places. And besides, people talk about "the good ole days" but forget smokers on planes. I took an Iberia flight in 1998 or 1999 and I sat one row from the smoking section. Somehow the smoke did not stay on their side. It was grand.
  2. 1" at our house yesterday. Beautiful heavy rain. That's 3" in August!
  3. Someone's bringing the back together... For reference...

    All I got out of that was "hey, that's Johnny Depp!!!" But nicely done on the minstrel image @jimmyjazz

    So Mumford came on the other day on SirusXM. I never listen to Mumford because no. Anyway, I thought, "maybe I should listen to it for a second and revisit the music" so I turned up the volume and, WTF. No. Really. Why?
  6. Yeah, this summer has bene totally tolerable. 98? 99? Ok. 100? Yeah kind of sucks but its not 105 or 107 day after day. Assuming the source I saw was correct, the hottest temperature this summer in Texas was 103. The highest in the state. If real, that's a cakewalk summer.
  7. To be fair, any school district with money (or in a property rich area) is getting screwed. Even Eanes. I suspect not everyone in Eanes is a CEO or cryptoking. Mind you, I'm in AISD so not in Eanes. We get our own special kind of screwing over. Off topic... back to racists.
  8. Interesting schtick and they're talented... sort of a 70s funk/prog Rock/blue-eyed soul sound. They played a 40 minute set and while they were good, I was kind of ready to turn the page at 30 minutes. As for Babe Rainbow, Angus was sober and they all sounded great. Start of their US tour from Australia and they were great!
  9. Been curious to see them. Good a railing spot on the second level but may go down below later. Steamy tonight.
  10. Clickbait
  11. Game time decision. Just bought tickets for tonight's Babe Rainbow show at Mohawk. Hopefully they're not wasted tonight. Grandmaster opens.
  12. I mean, I like all of it (screaming and less screaming) but you have to admit Hair of Dog is pretty damn good
  13. Good stuff @jimmyjazz
  14. I mean, this Target shooting... to be fair, have you seen how messy their stores are lately? One can kind of understand...
  15. Its called the GFS crying wolf. People love to post individual model runs or other scary pictures as clickbait and to drive engagement. When someone posts, "hey, look what's happening in two weeks", no one knows. Its too far our to be remotely accurate. https://theeyewall.com/long-range-forecast-scareicane-season-has-arrived-for-the-eastern-gulf/
  16. Man, I know what the numbers say but I also know what all four of us in the family felt this past weekend I used to say the same shit when I Iived in Houston and I'm telling you it feels absolutely more comfortable in Austin. Breeze in Houston was non existent this weekend. Nice wind tonight in SW Austin. That said, every time I go to POST I say it's one of the best things Houston has done in years.
  17. Visiting family and I was out walking along Terry Hershey this morning. How the F did I live in this for years? Insta-sweat.
  18. Duly noted although my chances of hitting that location are slim. @Nivek Mars was great. Went there during my bachelor party weekend.
  19. Ate here tonight so the world is good I will spare my Houston bitchfest for 12-24 hours. Oh, and no matter what, Go Astros. Suck it Yankees!

    Was looking at some of the early Friday acts. Saw a band named Amble. Don't know them. Google. First picture tells me its a hard pass:
  22. Whataboutism. They control Houston and the city just takes it to a new level. Always has. Ashby/Langley is a great example
  23. Not going to agree with you there. Austin food is better than it used to be. Leaps and bounds better than it used to be. But it has a long way to go to catch Houston. Now, I'm lazy and don't want to go too far so I know I'm missing out on places further north but I've had some damn good pho up north of 183 and great Persian closer to Anderson Lane and 183 but its not the same set up as Houston. Austin definitely kills it when it comes to food trucks but I will kill to find a truck like this close to me in Austin - https://share.google/7vmRMoUzFC4gbgkEo
  24. Yeah, Menil is awesome. I love that area - I saw they just closed down Bistro Menil which I really liked. Bummer. https://www.papercitymag.com/restaurants/bistro-menil-restaurant-closing-houston-chef-greg-martin/ Re: tourists visiting Houston... when I talk to people/clients who visit from out of the country they tend to do three things in Houston: 1. Eat 2. Shop 3. Go to JSC I don't think they ever tell me about visiting museums. If they go to Galveston, they certainly have opinions.
  25. THIS I have family there I have clients there Otherwise, I wouldn't go back. "Oh you live in Austin, you don't know" I lived in Houston for decades... and over time is slowly wore on me. The more I traveled, the more I realized that the parts of Houston I liked felt like other cities, not Houston. Yes, food scene is amazing... museums kick ass. I have a chub for the Mies Van Der Rohe MFAH and the museum district in general... I love Herman Park but that's not enough.
