  1. The mayor of Pflugerville?
  2. I don't think I knew the Fall Creek connection. We went a few months ago... completely overpriced and very meh. Ron gets it, though and he's a Longhorn.
  3. Isn't Coltan the name of every other middle schooler today? Why do we need more Coltans?
  4. What is a reasonable time and who is the opener? I mean, the rail is the rail, you know? I saw Psychedelic Furs there two back from the rail and it was pretty kickass being right there so depends on how much you like the band. You can always have someone hold the spots while the other person takes a leak/buys drinks. On an unrelated note, tonight is going to be intense... https://www.loudhailermagazine.com/concert-reviews/idles-at-hollywood-palladium-in-los-angeles-ca/
  5. Saw two dumbasses at Meanwhile Brewing this past weekend in Austin... one wearing her blue Trump 2024 shirt and a MAGA hat with flair. The other one wearing a MAGA hat. Looked like dumbasses.
  6. I don't know if you make 70k, 190k or 1.9M but talking about how much you make is soooo alpha
  7. Anyone know where you can find a good map showing all parkland, conservation easement land, watershed land, etc in Travis County? This is old - looks like 2006 - https://www2.traviscountytx.gov/citizens_bond_committee/pdfs/Maps/Travis County GreenPrint Map.pdf I've found this but it shows only Balcones Canyonlands land - https://traviscountytx.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=d8b33239c2af46ab81442a1941e518eb Doesn't show watershed land, conservation easement, etc. This seems to be the closest option - you just zoom in - https://site.tplgis.org/NCED/planningapp/ I will say that the Travis County / Greater Austin's efforts towards conservation are really impressive compared to other cities in the state. Feels like the greatest concentration of conservation efforts to keep us from losing valuable wildlands.
  8. If you like Spicewood, check out Ron Yates... same owner. Next door to Yates, you should stop by the new Lost Draw tasting room.
  9. Both statements can be true
  10. If you haven't been, yet, its worthwhile. Has a nice indoor space today when it is broiling outside.
  11. Funny, I had two posters. This one was considered acceptable but the other one has to come down. Trying to remember the actress's name but she was definitely naughtier
  12. Group of friends had an extra ticket to Idles so I'm going to catch the show tomorrow night at Moody Amphitheater. Admittedly did not know much about Idles but have listening and it looks like it will be an amazing show.
  13. Who could ever have foreseen this.
  14. I was without power after Ike for 2 1/2 weeks. Then the ice storm in 2023 was maybe 5-6 days (can't remember) Cold weather power loss > Warm weather power loss and it's not even close. I'll hang out in my ski gear in cold weather. I don't care. I can sleep under a bunch of blankets and in warm clothing. Pizza over and grill work the same in cold as in warm weather. Not much you can do to cool off in the summer without power. Nighttime is pure misery. Oh... and when cold weather is on the horizon, you can buy a half cord of wood to have on hand if you need it. Can't stockpile ice.
  15. Man, I've heard crazy stories of how high ranking former Iranian officials were hunted down and executed. I'll leave it at that but pretty insane stuff. I've had many Persian friends and acquaintances over the years and have always felt like there is an odd Persian/Italian similarity specifically in the non-Muslim community.
  16. That looks like it sucks. Actually working on the back table on the back porch. 11 AM and still feels reasonable. By noon I'll have to turn on the ceiling fan above me but I seem to get a good southern breeze to blow in the backyard and we have lots of shade. This summer gonna suck, though.
  17. He now has extras
  18. It only opened in 2020 (or 2021, I think) but Meanwhile is one of my favorite "something for everyone" places in Austin. Four food trucks, great beer, other drinks for those who don't want beer, lots of shade, a soccer pitch for the kids, playground and a big stage for live music and a massive TV. Parking can be a bitch but its worth it. https://www.meanwhilebeer.com/ Go check out a show or something... https://www.meanwhilebeer.com/events
  19. We went to Guero's afterwards to grab a bite and it is full on summer
  20. Today is 🔝
  21. That's not a fig. That's a hot water bottle for your headache.
