  1. Forgot to mention we took the children to luche libre and it blew their minds. Cheap second row seats right on the action and it was awesome. Wrestlers were great and crowd was into it. Old pretty beat up venue with lots of pretty gritty sights and sounds inside the venue and on the streets outside. A lot of fun.
  2. Wrapping up a couple days in Mexico City headed for puerto Escondido in the morning. Can’t believe we haven’t been here before. Easy two hour flight from Austin and our experience in the city has been amazing. Loved the park and anthropology museum. Walked everywhere with our 12 and 11 year olds and was no prob never had any worries. Staying at great place in polanco called campos polanco - 1500 sq foot apartment very reasonable great location. Ate at pujols, San angel inn, and entremar. San angel food is fine but lunch scene in beautiful courtyard is great. Pujols was great but we’re kind of over marathon tasting multicourse meals. I think the only one I’ve ever done i would do again is French laundry. Entremar was our favorite. Whole fish half red half green was really really good. Liked walking around Roma and condessa but staying in polanco. Polanco reminds me of upper eastside. Wonderful place and will put it on the short list for long weekends going forward.
  3. We're supposed to be in Mexico City Tues -- Fri then in Puerto Escondido for the next week. is there a path where it could fuck with either of those two locations or would the mountains / land kill it before it got to either?
  4. Anyone stayed at or know anything about campos palanco?
  5. Tennessee needs to sit back and wait and get all over thumber dickhead. Aggies are just so objectively nauseating. The absolute worst student body fan base and culture. Puke
  6. Did fubo die for anyone else
  7. got some folks in from out of state and want to take them to get some good bbq for early supper today. we're in central austin. it seems like every time i drive by Black's it's slammed. Anyone tried to go there early dinner time lately? any other spots you can rec?
  8. We did Tokyo and Kyoto about a decade ago. Really loved exploring the neighborhoods and restaurants in Tokyo but highlights for me were (1) the fish market (2) going to a Tokyo Giants game (3) staying a night at the Hakone Ginyu ryokan (Hakone is a little mountain village bw Tokyo and Kyoto).
  9. do you mind telling us what you paid for the Nolan rookie and your understanding of the price spectrum as it relates to grading? I collected as a kid in the 80's and have a Nolan rookie and just curious.
  10. I guess I like e hogan more than I thought bc I keep listening but holy fucking shit this guy with him is horrible. Not only bad at radio but just incredibly dumb with horrible takes. They’re talking about the Japanese baseball player gambling deal and this guy is just a huge moron. You can tell hogan hates him.
  11. Trying to listen to hogans new show but holy shit this guy with him is horrible. So bad.
  12. Searched and didn’t see a thread. Any recs on good restaurants? Sea food? Steaks?
  13. half the time his teammates don't even pass to him in those situations. several times last night he'd be wide open 10 - 15 foot out and we don't even pass him the ball. like playing with 4 on offense. crazy that you can spend that much time on a craft and just have no shot at all. and his free throw shooting is horrible -- 50% either don't make it or barely make it to the basket. crazy.
  14. Fucking Florida state fouling 15 down 3 minutes left. This games never gonna end
  15. I like E and I like Rod but I never thought they really meshed well together. I was optimistic when I heard about the pairing but it almost seemed like they didn't really like each other.
  16. my 10 year old boy's favorite restaurant in the world. P-Terry's is a close second.
  17. Ha. That's my regular spot . A nice older Indian gentlemen with a funny little dog that sits in a chair on the front porch owns it and is always there. Any given night it will be absolutely packed inside and out with young people watching metal, techno, dj, rap concerts. I wade through the fog of weed smoke and the masses to get my zyn, jellyfish, and other essentials.
  18. Ate at Wing Lei in Wynn last night and thought it was great - food, restaurant layout and decor, and service was all awesome.
  19. Has anyone played the Wynn course? I’m looking at it now from my room and it looks immaculate. My afternoon opened up so I called. Tee times available for only $800! My wife can even ride along for only $120!
  20. No surprise that a sophisticate from the big city has no knowledge of Permian basin
  21. Searched and didn’t see a thread. Have to be there for a few nights soon and would like to eat really well both nights. Any recs?
  22. My aunt came to Texas on a basketball scholarship but got hurt and ended up being a trainer for the football team. One day in one of the big trash bins outside the locker room was a an earl Campbell helmet with a cracked face mask. Had is name written in marker inside the ear hole, athletic tape around the bottom middle of the face mask, different color paint marks on the outside. Looked just like one that you see in all his pics. She grabbed it and gave it to me when I was little. It was my prized possession. When I was in my twenties in the early 2000’s I had to spend some time at MD Anderson. My head and neck cancer surgeon was a UT grad and a huge Texas fan - really cool young doc from Cuba. He successfully performed a life saving surgery on me and, after many trips back over the next few years and getting the all clear, I gave him the helmet. He loved it and it was a great feeling to celebrate with him when that particular section of MD doesn’t have a ton of all clears. I now have a boy of my own who is crazy about UT. I wish I had it to give to him but am still ok with what I did. It was a cool helmet though!

    Tex Mex

    I think the fajitas at Joann’s are good and also like their non Tex Mex stuff. Good chicken fried. I think the best fajitas in Austin are la piscina. Expensive but very very good.

    Tex Mex

    Any thoughts on Santa Rita? It’s one of those places I’ve driven by a million times but never been to. It’s close to the house and would be great if it was a spot we could go to but I worry it’s not very good. I think it’s the same people who own 34th street cafe which is a comfy neighborhood spot we go to from time to time.
  25. The lane narrowing on 31st and shoal creek right by the school is the stupidest fucking thing in the history of the world. Between the new super wide bike lanes and walk lane and the cars parked on the road it’s basically one lane that cars going opposite directions are left to fight over. Turned a peaceful little street into thunder dome every weekday morning. I would be livid if I lived on that street.
