How many Bradford Pears met their demise today?

Drop a lulz on them to confuse them

Abbott will find a way

Opel GT anyone?

Wow... SW Austin getting it now

Good to know you were there and saw it first hand. Was there as much fog as I'd heard?

neg for all this and you're kind of being a dick. WTF.

Look at the watershed dividing lines. Its just cruel.

Once again, Buchanan gets it all. Lake Travis zippo.

Its chill music... good for driving, hanging out, etc but we all have different tastes so that's cool. Thinking about this, too. I've heard mixed reviews on the shows but I used to love the Sisters of Mercy.

Yeah, Griff seems to be a cool and genuine guy, lives his life surfing and living on a sailboat and advocates for mental health and some good causes. Don't see the issue.

Saw him at ACL then Stubb's. Just good vibes all around at his shows. He's a great example, as stc will attest, of finding a new band (new to me) courtesy of ACL. Dope Lemon, Genesis Owusu, Past Lives, etc were bands I got to enjoy for the first time at ACL. stc - wait 'til you find out I have been Oliver Tree twice.

You'll have a great time no matter what. See the Castello Sforzesco in Milano. I went there one Ferragosto weekend and the town was E M P T Y and walking around there was so peaceful. Venice, if you go to Lido, find a nice beach bar/club where you can enjoy chilling for the day, having lunch, aperitive time. I imagine its not much different than a place like Rimini but more expensive. Just get into the rhythm of the day. For Venice, believe me... the further from San Marco, the better the prices and food quality. San Marco should be explored by try to stay in an area like Dorsoduro and just wander backstreets looking for places that serve cichetti. You will get lost but Google maps will help you out. Rome, explore some of the off-the-beaten path places that are likely to be much less crowded. Sometimes its nice to get into a park and just chill out for a bit. We used to like to go to Villa Celimontana, not far from the Colosseum. Near there you can visit something like this which should be quiet... https://www.coopculture.it/it/poi/case-romane-del-celio . Also, duck into random churches. I used to like going into Basilica dei Santi XII Apostoli since it was a beautiful church and usually empty. Also, check out lesser-visited museums like Palazzo Venezia. June will be a beating in Rome so seek quiet moments. Trust me. I've spent an awful lot of time in Rome and now we spend our time in Italy elsewhere. I've been many times and there's a lot I have not seen so Rome can be visited many many times and each visit can be different. Agree about going to Tazza d'Oro. Get the granita. Also, go to Ostia Antica and/or The Appian Way. Our summer trip in Italy will be based in Mattinata, Puglia and Rimini in Romagna with little stops on the coast in Le Marche and probably time spent in Bologna to see friends.

I'll be honest I can't imagine growing up out there... but I can see the benefit of wasting as much time as possible traveling out to Taos.

I forgot about that Human League song. Good one. So, what did the original look like?

I look at Wunderground but then always double-check with the local forecasters since they can provide some nuance. It will suck either way.

So if I'm reading that correctly, Biden making massive gains in PHX and Tucson while Trump is hemorrhaging money there. Looks like Biden not doing great in Vegas but while Trump has made some gains, it looks like they are offset by losses.

Third show... neg rep away.

Was thinking of the comments above re: Rush Limbaugh. I used to gobble up books and the drivel by Limbaugh, O'Reilly and their ilk. Good God I was dumbass back then. If there's one thing I can say Cheeto did that was a positive for me is he snapped me out of it. When he came along, I was like, WTF y'all? Are we not seeing this? He caused me to reevaluate a LOT!

Not sure I'd be laughing... maybe cleaning out my shorts.

I'm just glad he used the word juxtapose in a sentence

I have a question about a show this fall at the Moody Amphitheater. We bought GA tickets for Goth Babe in September. Well, Moody is a pit with assigned seating and then lawn/premium lawn. So is GA just general mayhem and "grab what you can" for the venue? Just seems like an odd set-up. I saw Sofi Tukker is doing the same thing for their show in September.

If the wind is blowing in the wrong direction, it smells like a massive public restroom full of overflowing piss troughs.
