  1. Anyway, I enjoyed AJ Vallejo's set with his latest band Brodie Lane. The medley with Timbuk3 and the Doors was cool, and when they closed with Styx, I was totally in. Overall my first experience with this series at this venue and I liked it. I'm trying to convince my daughter to go to UT and we'd spent the morning doing the Texas Preview tour and information sessions, and then had lunch at The Posse, and ended the day with the live concert on the grounds at the Bullock. She had a great time and I made some progress pushing Texas as a great college choice...
  2. Yeah I was there last night too, I felt really bad for him. I also felt really bad for my 17yo daughter who's a huge Ian Moore fan because we've played his music to her for years, and this was her first experience to hear him live. But most of all I felt bad for the rest of us who had to sit there and watch those two women stand up and "dance" in front of the rest of the audience.
  3. I was down at the Bullock last night for the Ian Moore outdoor concert and there was a huge line for the 7:30 showing. I love that theater but it's so dumb that the seats aren't assigned.
  4. I coulda posted this in the trucks nuts thread but it's Tacoma-specific so might get more traffic here... We're starting to look at cars for my soon to be 16yo son and he's mostly been interested in the sportier cars-- Toyota GR86, Mustangs, Camaros. But lately he's really keen on the idea of a pickup, and specifically the Tacoma. I don't know much about them, but I can see the various trim packages. He's most likely going to want the one that looks the coolest, but I'm interested in the various engine options. We'd be looking at 2020 or newer, and it looks like the engine options are a 2.7L 4-cylinder or a 3.5L 6-cylinder? Any thoughts on them? He doesn't need to be racing this thing and won't be towing anything. He might want to haul some stuff in the bed but nothing really heavy.Is the 4-cylinder okay or for general use, or is it under-powered? I don't really have a preference but for me, safety is the main concern. I've driven some under-powered cars that make them difficult to merge onto freeways at speed, that's the type of thing I want to make sure it has the power to do. Open for thoughts and ideas on the matter.

    Tacos

    Yeah I made the mistake of looking at the address and assuming it was a local taqueria type place. In other totally unrelated news, I'm about 15-20 years behind in following Austin's development and gentrification...

    Tacos

    Ah well, okay then. Consider my strange upper/lower case typing in mockery retracted. Anyway, I'm still down to try some tasty barbacoa. Even if it's $6.50.
  7. Plus, you know... this:
  8. Our Handy Andy was at Anderson and Rockwood next to the Village, and our Winn's was over at Burnet/Anderson lane in the strip center next to original Dart Bowl. Played a lot of Asteroids and then Star Wars at that Handy Andy, when I couldn't manage to get over to the Gold Mine in Northcross Mall.
  9. Holy shit, exact same thing as yesterday. Just completely evaporating once it hits 360.

  11. I sure hope it's not the same result as yesterday, where nobody west of 360 got shit-- including the lakes.
  12. Goes all the way back to this asshole...
  13. Probably not long before a robotaxi ends up at the bottom of Town Lake.
  14. Absolutely zero rain here in NW Travis County. A solid line of red and yellow coming up from the SE for an hour, and then just vanished when it hit the Lake Travis recharge zone. Womp womp.
  15. Joke's on them, Russia has plenty of mine sweepers to detect and neutralize any such mines. These sophisticated personnel are also referred to as "vatniks on mopeds."
  16. Jaws night was awesome. Our kids invited over some friends, and we had about 20 kids in the pool and hot tub watching the movie, after annihilating 13 lbs of brisket and 3 racks of pork spareribs. We also had a few of our adult friends, including our new next door neighbors who brought over a bottle of Japanese single malt 12 year, that I later found out was like $180. It was delicious and we destroyed it within about 45 minutes.
  17. In theory, sure, but I assume there's some sort of containment around the radioactive, corrosive, and chemotoxic material.
  18. Wow, that's even worse than playing the Armada Room at the Holiday Inn...
  19. And Lee Person playing the 311, too. What a great time to be around.
