  1. did they say anything about who else was staying, leaving, what the format will look like for those staying?
  2. Gonna be in Boston for one night with my daughter on our way to Martha’s Vineyard. Get in about noon Saturday and leave the next morning. Any recs for great hotel with good area to walking around and good restaurants close by? Only one night so not so worried about cost if we can find a memorable place. Appreciate Hate’s recs above but it’s been a few years since he posted so wanted to check. Thanks Ps would love to to see the Sox (they play at 4 sat) but daughters not a huge baseball fan and my boy would be pissed if I did that w/o him.
  3. Thank you!
  4. We were Island hopping in Greece for a week and then flew to Florence last Thursday. I took a train to Rome last Friday and flew out on Sunday (which was a clusterfuck shit show bc Newark cancelled all westbound flights Sunday evening -- Newark Airport was like Thunderdome it was fucking horrible -- I somehow made the last flight out to Austin but ended up getting in at 4 in the morning Sunday it fucking sucked) but my wife and the children stayed in Florence with some other moms and kids. Wife and kids are supposed to fly out of Rome Saturday but there's a fucking strike at the airport. United is telling them they can still leave if they leave earlier Saturday (strike doesn't start until late morning) but wants to put them on Turkish Air to Istanbul then connect to Chicago then to Austin. My question for this esteemed group -- any experience with Turkish Air? The internet tells me it's safe (much safer as of a few years ago) but i'm skittish. I'm also concerned about them being stuck in Istanbul without me if they somehow miss their connection. Are my concerns valid? Is Istanbul not a place you'd want your wife and kids to be stranded? Am I just a racist paranoid asshole?
  5. Running an errand and could stomach about 30 seconds of Zay Collier’s ranting and raving. Holy shit it’s so so bad. Do they not have people there that’ll take these guys how bad it is?
  6. I think I asked this on the old site but any recs for repair of Rolex Sub (circa late 90's) in Austin? It goes when you pick it up and move it around but the dial won't turn the arms or the date. Thank you.
  7. has anyone confirmed the horn's death on air?
  8. In high school a buddy of mine was cleaning fish on the back of a commercial deep sea fishing boat when a big wave snuck up on him and threw him out of the boat. The crew was always playing jokes / hiding from each other to avoid work on the way back in and no one thought anything of his absence. They got back to the dock and realized he wasn't on the boat. They alerted the coastguard and other boats in the area (they run similar routes) and another boat came across him on the way back in and grabbed him just before sundown. He said he'd never forget the boat disappearing over the horizon as he just floated in the open ocean. He said he had a talk with himself and thought he could either panic and be fucked or relax and wait/hope that someone came along and saw him. He took off his Tevas, velcro'd them together and put them behind his neck to help floating. He stayed as calm / still as possible and just floated. He lost track of time and said he could have been there for 30 minutes or 3 hours before the boat came by and grabbed him.
  9. I went last night and was shocked at how shitty all of the WVU pitchers were -- all mid to low 80's, shitty control, no movement. We had a ton of good swings and were just sitting on pitches. Scored a lot but could have scored a lot more early. Their hitters looked like shit (but for the lefty hitting nearly 500) too. Can't believe they've done as well as they have.
  10. Yeah Jeff and Ed have quite a bit of nostalgia for me and I like that. I really like Babers but Hardge is just so so bad. He seems like a nice guy but just consistently awful takes. And listening to him struggle through trying to read ads is brutal.
  11. Trying to buy a parking pass and it says none available they sell out parking ?
  12. Yes I think rod knows how bad Hardball is and it’s awkward for him bc they’re friends and he’s a nice guy. I do like the third guy on their show. Chads occasionally tolerable in very small doses when he’s talking sports (as opposed to today when him and zay went through that top 20 hip hop artist list TWICE and then a third time when that mouthbreather that does the show with way called in) but listening to a whole show is torture. He absolutely loses his shit after every single break when he tries to guess the tune. It’s exhausting.
  13. Road trip the past two days listening to horn app and holy fucking shit Chad and his sidekick are bad. Jesus. I want to like rods side kick but he’s fucking horrible too. So so bad. I do think rods very good but that other dude can barely fucking talk and his takes are just objectively wrong.
  14. At least I’m young and got my health.
  15. And yes I got off of 10 and drove around a bit bf heading to mansurs. Plaintiffs firms and poverty abound.
  16. I am here now and it’s very good so far. Chargrilled oysters are great.
  17. Well fuck
  18. In town for a few days and would like to have a really good couple of meals. Any suggestions?
  19. My parents are off of Spicewood Springs and their power just came back on.
  20. Back on and off as of 11 last night and back on for good since about 6 this morning in 03. Across the street to the south and next several blocks south still out.
  21. I’m a block or 2 away. They were all over the place and one of them told me it was about to happen. It did for about 2 minutes and now 3 hours later here we are in the dark. Fuck everything.
  22. Abbot’s was in corpus spewing voucher bullshit while this was happening. He thinks it’s funny.
  23. After zero activity all week finally a bunch of trucks in my hood 03. One of the guys told me it’s imminent but my hope is fading as that was 2 hours ago. These workers are being greeted like nazi occupied France liberators.
  24. we're in 03 and same experience. dark quiet eery ghost town with only light being gas lit porch lights. zero crews or activity and still no fucking power. we're getting out of town for the weekend if not back on by late afternoon. fucking sucks.
  25. was going to post this. I love Coach Harmon. He hates the fucking aggies. nothing better back in the day than going to college station and having all of those hayseed fucks lined up on both sides of the bus when you walk into the stadium yelling the most horrible shit as us and then shutting them the fuck up and smiling at them on the walk out.
