I had the 1/4 dark at T22 last night. Honestly, it was pretty good. I got "Hot" seasoning, which is basically one step above "milquetoast". It was hot enough for me.
Their fries suck, though. Should've gotten double mac'n'cheese.
T22 is solid if you want that Nashville hot chicken thing. I usually get Dang Hot. Anything beyond that and the heat overpowers the flavor, in my opinion.

Weather is going to suck on Sunday... allegedly... so plan accordingly.
You could try Epicerie... https://www.epicerieaustin.com/
No reservations, just luck.
A great rec in my former hood. Get there early, since the non-Mother's Day Sunday crowd has gets pretty big.

I never knew much of Sturgill several years ago, but I stumbled on his late afternoon show the first time he played ACL and it turned out to be a great find.
I'm going to see Mannequin Pussy just to tell my kids I saw a band called Mannequin Pussy. Maybe I'll come back with a tshirt.

Really one of the best quotes about parenthood:
”There is no end zone. You never cross the goal line, spike the ball and do your touchdown dance. Never.”

Soccer?
Sorry, I meant to say volleyball. Awful sport to watch when young kids are playing for the first time.

Yep, that too. RIcky Williams lived over there for a while. His son Prince attended HP, as did Bo Davis' son and Todd Wright's kid. (Todd could have hit HP with a rock with a strong throw from his front porch.)
Thread digression/csb time: Ricky's daughter was my daughter's classmate at HP, and for one painful season at WAYA, they were on the same volleyball team. Ricky actually came to one of the games, and couldn't look more bored and disgusted with the level of play. They were in fourth grade, but, I mean, they still sucked.
I have a UT football autographed by Ricky that I won at an HP PTA fundraiser. It's actually made out to me personally, though we never met. His partner/wife asked how I would like him to autograph the ball, and I said, "Hell, I don't know. How about, 'Jeff, Hook 'em!'" And he did just that. Surprisingly, my wife won't let me display that on our fireplace mantel for all our guests to see.

When my kids were at Highland Park, the Green Shores area on Lake Austin even fed HP/Lamar/McCallum. No idea if it still does.
Still does. And one of my son's friends at Lamar lives in Long Canyon (Bell Mountain Rd. off 2222).

This is 49-year-old me after looking at most of the names on the ACL lineup:
But, still in for revealing female attire, Asleep at the Wheel, and day-drinking in my city.

I moved to East Texas. My daughter is graduating from UT this week in 3 years. She is heading to SMU for law school.
But she's still going to hate you for moving to East Texas.

My kids went to McCallum. I'm very fond of that school. It's far more well-rounded than the West______ options. It's not an IB campus, so that might be a drawback, but I was super impressed with the inclusiveness. Basically, McCallum kids aren't assholes and they are plenty well educated.
I love McCallum. For both of my kids, their personalities are better suited for that environment – very inclusive, relatively low drama, and not turbo competitive. But, I think it’s a bit easier to get into the Top 6% there than other schools in the area.

Do you love him enough to move to a less competitive school? Much like my personal success, the key to Texas auto admits is to surround yourself with losers and low performers.
He'll be at McCallum. It's not bad, but it's not Westlake or Westwood.
There's a young lawyer at my law firm who went to the Kealing magnet for middle school, and he would have gone to LASA, but UT had just implemented the Top 10% rule, and his dad told him he needed to go to Austin High. Good decision in the long run.

I differ from some on this point, but I would also be very clear about the choice of major when CAPing into UT. It's pretty much liberal arts only. I doubt many get into Cockrell or McCombs.
Yeah, I've heard that. He seems interested in the sciences, but who knows at this point. If he does want to pursue a STEMs major, then I'll make sure he includes plenty of non-UT options in his college plans.

I think UTSA is the consensus "best" route. Arlington and Tyler are probably next on that list. (Daughter went UTSA, son went Tyler, so I'm just going on experience and discussion with other parents.)
Thanks. Unlike my daughter, my son is very high on UT. He's only finishing up seventh grade, and I certainly don't want to dash his dreams about going to his dad's alma mater. But over the next few years I'm going to have a realistic conversation with him about how incredibly difficult it is these days to get into UT as a freshman, and if he really, really wants a degree from there it's possible that he'll have to start at another UT campus.

If a kid has to go the CAPed route, is there any one particular UT satellite campus that is better than the others, or does it depend on major, etc.?

One of the best vocal tracks of the 1960s. Such a haunting, pleading tone. The guy had a magical voice, one of my favorites of all time.
