    Texas BBQ

    went to stiles switch last night for the birria french dip. typically a fan of their 12 days of meat specials but this one wasn't great. meat was dry with not much flavor and there wasn't enough cheese. for $25 it wasn't a great deal. also, their service needs work. almost every time i've been they've fucked something up...the order never seems to get communicated properly from the meat cutter to the cash register. last night i ordered the sandwich and 2 sides...got charged for a sandwich and 1 side, then as i was finishing the sandwich a 2nd sandwich showed up and they said just keep it. great, free sandwich. then as i was finishing my beer they show up with a dirty bird burrito. i didn't keep that one. worked out in my favor but wtf, get your shit together.

    Pearl Jam

    no luck on nashville through ten club, first time i've been shut out. will give it a go on friday.
  5. the other texas dates are available in the presale but no option for austin. so this must be a festival.
  6. pinthouse is doing $5 back for every $25 you spend on a gift card until the end of the year. stock up and save some money.
  7. excited about this but also curious...the austin date is the only one that has venue tba. formerly i would have assumed this was levitation but they've moved that festival to sept 25-28 next year. so does this mean there's another festival that will be happening halloween weekend? not sure why else they wouldn't announce the venue...will be interested to see if the austin tickets go on sale this week along with all the others.

    put in my request for nashville, won't be too upset if i don't get it. don't care about visiting any of those other cities.

    Beef ribs

    had some brined beef short ribs in the freezer that I ended up not cooking for the 4th of july. decided to cook them on saturday. took 11 hours before they were done, which seemed excessive. i had pulled them out of the freezer on wednesday so i guess there's a chance they were still a little frozen in the center? anyway, they turned out great.
  11. watched the documentary yesterday. never would have considered steely dan yacht rock (and still don't). but i think that's mainly because i like steely dan and consider most of the other bands in the doc to be...not good. by the time they got to the de la soul stuff i was bored, but it was mostly entertaining.
  12. this one's been stuck in my head all week...
  13. saw james mcmurtry solo acoustic on wednesday night at the continental club gallery. obviously he can turn a phrase but his guitar chops are also impressive. mostly played a 12 string but also busted out the 8 string and 6 string for a few songs. man, that 12 string sounded good. played two 45 minutes sets.
  14. Good to see they finally opened the new lot. The last couple of times i've gone to cattail the barricade at the end of that road was closed.
  15. That road and parking lot has been closed for years. You have to park on Ross Maxwell these days, making it an even longer hike.
  16. here's a good interview with stan lynch, benmont tench, and mike campbell. campbell's comments about howie epstein are interesting. sounds like stan was the whipping boy of the group, or at least he saw it that way. https://rockcellarmagazine.com/tom-petty-and-the-heartbreakers-long-after-dark-mike-campbell-benmont-tench-stan-lynch-interview/
  17. the bonus material on the long after dark deluxe release is good.
  18. wore hiking boots when i was there last month and had no issues, even ate at a few fancyish places. no one seemed to care about dress code.

    Texas BBQ

    hit up 2 places over the weekend 1. bcooper bbq on manor. it's a food truck in the back of a pickleball club...that should've been enough of a red flag i guess. brisket was dry af and tough, lots of unrendered fat. same story with the baby back ribs, tough and dry. would not go back. 2. mum foods. had the pastrami and some pork ribs. pastrami was very good but the pork ribs were remarkably delicious. perfectly cooked and great bark. some of the best ribs i've had in a long time.
  20. the "pop up" style of drain stopper that seems to be prevalent these days where you have to stick your hand into the dirty sink water in order to release the stopper. this is not an improvement.
  21. he really seems like the eric clapton of his generation in this regard.
  22. saw the black crowes last night at acl live. say what you will about chris robinson but he still sounds great and puts 100% into the show. rich seemed as unamused as ever. they were good but i don't think i need to see them again any time soon.
  23. i'm curious about that because there were several blank stars in prime spaces. i'm sure somebody used to have a star there. maybe they didn't pay their rent.

    Vinyl

    i had no idea this existed until finding it in the new arrivals bin at amoeba. definitely has a steely dan demos feel. not as polished or complex as their later work but still interesting.
  25. unintentionally visted the tp&hb star on the walk of fame while in hollywood for the gilmour concert. would like to know exactly how that thing got cracked.
