  1. Business concept: Hobotaxi. Elmo should hire homeless Austinites for $5/hr to help override imminent failures. The vodka might be a problem.
  2. I'm pretty sure I was clear on that.
  3. Holy shit, $700? I'd rather just take everyone to Jeffrey's. I cannot tell you how many propane-flavored dogs I've had off of those.
  4. I used to run into Ced filling up his truck at Dry Creek & 2222, not too far east of where he bit it and died. He was fucking huge. That guy was a beast. Not the best RB we've ever had, but one of the damn good ones.
  5. Ha! My sister used to work as a pianist accompanying vocal students for Julio's brother Franco Iglesias, in his penthouse apt above Lincoln Center. I never connected the dots until I went to meet up with her, used the bathroom and saw a photo of Julio & Franco above the toilet. "Holy shit, this is Julio Iglesias' brother!" 'twas indeed. Vocal coach to the stars, including Placido Domingo.
  6. What a letdown.
  7. I wonder how much fame he cost himself? I'm not trying to belabor the point, but I think he's a better player and equal singer to Gary Clark, Jr., and probably a better songwriter. (I might revisit that last claim.) Gary's an international star who is set for life. Ian . . . well, not. I do remember some of his blistering sets at clubs like Steamboat and Liberty Lunch. Those were crazy days for Austin guitar -- Eric Johnson blowing out eardrums, etc.
  8. Heh. I definitely wasn't aiming "precious" at Ian.
  9. I need a small portable grill to take to a family party near some as yet undefined lake. ~ 10 people, burgers, dogs, etc. I'm happy to cook in stages. I prefer charcoal. Is there any reason to avoid the Weber Smokey Joe 14" charcoal grill? Is there some alternative out there that's better in some way? I mean, it's only $50. It would be a nice complement to our Weber smoker at our empty-nester home, too.
  10. Yeah, I just didn't know if that was a return to form or a one-off.
  11. Any time that douchebag Justin Wells steps in it is good with me. ("Nothing but love, brother.") Did I mention douchebag?
  12. I really had high hopes for Will. I have no insider connections, so I will just remain hopeful it was time for a new location.
  13. Jesus Christ I could have gone the rest of my life w/o hearing that.
  14. I'd definitely pick Ian Moore (rock mode) over Next of Kin, who really need to work on being even more precious. Blech.
  15. I don't think Brat was making that argument, he was just alluding to how stupid it is.
  16. I'm sure MAGAts everywhere are furious that ICE agents are representing themselves as "police" (which they are not).
  17. How old are those "models"?
  18. Uhhh . . . your boss was one of those dumb presidents. Well played, junior.
  19. Is he back to the Texas gunslinger Ian or is he still folkie Ian? I'd go see the guy with the strat and a really loud amp.
  20. Which store(s) have them? Far West has no house made products any more. EDIT: *tortilla products
  21. Neg rep for being an asshole. Nobody wants the Strait closed.
  22. While that may be true in practice, it isn't law. The Federal government reduces highway funding to states by 8% if they don't comply with the 21 YO minimum drinking age. Furthermore, Puerto Rico and USVI have an 18 YO legal drinking age. Again, I'm not questioning cruise line policy, I know nothing about it, and I don't know if state laws apply if international waters (although I doubt it). The cruise I went on seemed pretty lax, though.
  23. "This is the year" we finish 9-4.
  24. That's exactly what I'd expect a Russian bot's friend to say. /s
