  1. There were a shitload of annoying UTSA fans in section one.
  2. Last week got borked and for once we ditched our parking pass and caught a ride in. Ubering out after was a complete shitshow disaster. Dean Keaton was like a war zone, had to walk up towards 38 and red river and wait 90 minutes.
  3. What the fuck is the little stutter step / kick the calf move as heā€™s pacing?! Bizarre cult of the highest order.
  4. Any confirmed bars in austin that have LHN?
  5. You can find pay lots south of Scholz and walk or get a pedicab up to MLK.
  6. WTF, the clown author is a UT grad. Half his Texas Monthly articles are anti Hohn hatchet jobs. Weird.
  7. I love my Saddleback. They are amazing quality and so cool, like strangers stop and comment cool, but not a practical daily bag IMO because they are heavy and bulky. I now use it for special occasions and have a smaller canvas tumi laptop bag but have mostly gone full backpack given convenience / practicality.
  8. I dunno man, 78746 prices still a rocket ship for my three Cali friends transferring here
  9. Iā€™m thinking about Ty Segall & Freedom Band at Mohawk next week. Never seen them.
  10. solid, thanks for input. iā€™ve done almost zero swiss research but saw vail made a majority investment there and assumed it was a top choice. is there one area or resort that threads the needle of incredible skiing plus luxe hotel/spa accommodations and food? the chedi in andermatt fit that bill. for now, with a travel day on each end of a full week would be looking at like 5 days and wouldnā€™t want to switch hotels to see multiple places. my wife is a good skier and is coming to appease me (and ski). looking for the vail or park city of the alps i suppose. iā€™d splurge for a guided day in some backcountry or once in lifetime experience, but am not an extreme off piste guy seeking gnarly drops.
  11. Anyone skied Andermatt-Sedrun in the Swiss Alps? Vail bought a majority interest and is including 5 days next year in the local epic pass. My 50th bday plans might be taking shape.
  12. Thereā€™s no one good in Austin IMO for anything other than a first trip of season pre wax. I make it a point to do a grind / wax a couple times per season mountain side vs a random newb here. 100% always keep mine indoors in the summer.
  13. Thereā€™s enough indie diamonds in the rough, plus funky musicians like goose, billy strings is fun, spoon will bring hometown heat, war on drugs should be good. rhcp is far past their prime but will bust out enough early classics and cock socks to make it work. Plus my kids will get me up to speed on other new shit. itā€™s always funā€¦
  14. super solid advice, big thanks
  15. Wife and I work from home a lot, and with a new 16 year old sharing our cars itā€™s become a little inconvenient, but not ā€œhave to have 3rd car badā€. Iā€™m looking at a Thruxton 900 to commute to the office 2ā€™ish days per week when I donā€™t WFH and random errands close to home. Commute is from West Lake Hills to Hyde Park / Quadrangle area meaning i could skip Mopac and take Exposition or Lamar to 35th/38th. Iā€™ve done lots of road cycling and can appreciate idiot drivers, but from a motorcycle safety standpoint, what is worse, highway or tarry town/s lamar type riding ?

    Two thumbs up. Perfect blend of comedy / horror by not taking itself seriously. I didnā€™t catch until after that the old lady and coked up stripper were same actress.
  17. Iā€™m old, pushing 50, had a torn meniscus snipped out last year. Went to work next day, walked without crutches in 2 days. Was lightly jogging in a week. The hardest part recovery wise is from the cocktail straw sized hole they probe into your knee to find what to snip. But its not like a torn tendon that can get reinjured from trauma, itā€™s just snipping out little frayed edge which triggers the pain.
  18. Iā€™m surprised at all the shitting on unlimited PTO, especially with WFH or partial WFH becoming more standard.
  19. Saw Jeff Tweedy at The Paramount last night and man were they ball busting strict on masks inside plus vax proof to enter. Had dinner across street at Perryā€™s and zero masks or fucks were given. Strange transitionary time weā€™re in.
  20. Weā€™re three weeks in, so in the honeymoon period, but really like it. I used to do a lot of road biking and have done various boot camp, gym, cross fit, etc memberships, but being so busy with work and kids the convenience factor is the shit, especially WFH a couple days a week. The breadth of classes beyond spin should not be overlooked. And the camaraderie of doing live classes makes up for a lot of the boredom of just riding a trainer. Watched the second half of horns game last night while having a simulated ride through France on the monitor and 45 minutes flew by. Stock wise, I wouldnā€™t think twice as a reason not to buy. They skyrocketed during covid and it was not sustainable. They have far too many active members for someone not to swoop in be it Amazon, Apple or private equity. The new CEO was the CFO at Spotify and Netflix which signals how they are thinking about digital and growth. Heā€™s mentioned dropping the price of the bike am increasing the monthly subscription which is curios. Iā€™ll plug the 30 minute HIT / Hill class with Leann as a hard and efficient quick workout. And sheā€™s juggy. #SurlyPeloton
