  1. Everyone saying "my radar app is saying that this will..." need to understand that radar app doesn't know shit. Storms do what they want. While you can say 60% chance of rain or whatever, you can't predict exactly where that rain will fall. On a side note, aside from the 10 foot rise, forecasts are a potential 10-20 more feet in Travis.
  2. A lifetime ago, I used go to Paris/St. Cloud on business in the summer... imagine summer heatwaves while wearing a suit. It sucked. I was dying and, yes, even got to enjoy a taxi ride to Orly with a non-deodorant wearing coworker. Good times.
  3. Oh...
  4. With all due respect, you sound like an idiot I guess I missed that. There is so much to Paris than the two most popular tourist sites. Seriously. I mean, I hear that garbage about Rome. I've been there over a dozen times and there's still stuff I haven't seen (in part because I try to avoid the tourists). Now, granted, I might stop there for a few days than hop an overnighter to the Alps to avoid the crowds and the heat but that's me.
  5. Welp, I wonder how the states impacted by this tend to vote at the polls? TX, LA, MS, AL, FL, the Carolinas... they probably won't mind.
  6. Another straightforward red blend. $13..99
  7. The last time we went to Paris, we made it a point to take a day trip somewhere. Since most people were going to Versailles, we went to Chartres and loved it. Very peaceful - beautiful city.
  8. Man, I'm going to start unloading my cards. I have so many from my younger years. Anything good in them? Not sure... a bunch of 80s - 90s rookie cards but I'll probably starting eBaying a a bunch of .99 listings.
  9. Nah... Cracker Barrel
  10. Sorry... no rugby options for me. If there was a team here, it would be the Austin Googlymogglies or whatever they were called
  11. Found a really good rate at the Crown Plaza - https://www.ihg.com/crowneplaza/hotels/us/en/asheville/avlss/hoteldetail About 2 - 2.5 miles from downtown Asheville so easy enough. We'll be spending much of our time more in the hills and in other areas but this looks to be a good base.
  12. Just here to point out at the Astros are kicking ass and to say, y'all chill.
  13. Thanks? We'll probably go visit Hendersonville, too, which has personal meaning to me. Not sure how damaged that area might still be.
  14. Bump Taking my son to visit Western Carolina University and plan on staying in Asheville for two nights. Does it matter where you stay in town if you have a car? Also, any good idea on some off-the-beaten path hikes? Although he may want to visit the NP so I imagine we would go in through Cherokee.
  15. Tried this Friday at a wine tasting event. Easy drinking Albarino. I liked it. https://www.totalwine.com/wine/white-wine/albarino/bienbebido-pulpo-albarino/p/2126253957
  16. Hot Summer Nights lineup just dropped... I want to go see Pussy Gilette again. Plan on seeing Gus Baldwin & the Sketch, Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band, Queen Serene/Prehuman (99% sure they'll be on the same bill) and... finally... its time to see one of the best-named bands in Austin... Subpar Snatch (well, tied with Chancla Fight Club)
  17. One can only hope
  18. Except he tends to avoid the bottom of town lake
  19. This provides some good perspective - https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ian-moore-jamming-stones-writing-130000188.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALLNU_xmDiaVhQyvELxnrb0G5lG8LvnQ1FlxAPUddqnZbRZdJ8JdoR5ANvPI-0CHP24dcr5Nn1CHnAj281fNxq6XvtTbXhgA9dJURAZCENJ81Y5t6yLqzxj21h4g0QTQrW-iDCN8qbH4tIiGbZK8w3smJuGF-lCxyNW2AuNVlrHO
  20. He's always around. Just part of the South Congress fabric now.
  21. His SXSW show last year (the one I saw) was definitely straight up blues/rock. This also insinuates he's back to his roots for now...
  22. Just remembered we were at the same show at the Austin Music Awards in March 2024... Ian Moore, Eve Monsees... Speedy Sparks on bass, Chris Layton (can't see him) was on drums. Ben Buck was ready to go on next.
  23. Last two shows I've seen he's been slaying with the guitar. From what I know, he really wanted to explore the other style but we know what pays.
