  1. I picked this up yesterday and am ~300 pages into it- very entertaining and well paced.
  2. The T-22 patio over there there is big, covered, and has big fans that keep it plenty cool.
  3. Were there hookers in the back of the house?
  4. The Holcombe location sure was, but I have a difficult time buying into the idea of a new Gallant Knight opening in the old Timberwolf spot being worth a visit.
  5. Sunday brunch at La Strada always led to a great time (and a rough Monday morning). My last time there was at some point during the late 90s - early 2000s. That timeline is a bit blurry.
  6. That sounds like a terrible idea... like opening a TGI Fridays in the old Liberty Lunch space and expecting it to draw the same crowd. Probably best I missed that. About the same time I moved away was when Sammy's opened up in 2016 Main, hoping to rekindle the remaining lightning in a bottle from Gallant Knight (or as I recall the name, "Monroe's Gallant Knight").
  7. The guy who thought it was rough says he's from Lake Travis (according to his user name), he's clearly a bubble boy.
  8. Someone looked at Karen the wrong way I guess.
  9. LOL, that fucking place. No idea, but I hope it is. When I moved away in 2005 it was still open.
  10. I'm a few years older than Swayze and Rice Village was always safe during my lifetime. My last regular era at GK was during the mid-and-late1990s and it felt plenty safe back then... and it was not in Rice Village.
  11. As part of this study they also test you for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies... I had none (which aligns with me not having been sick).
  12. Mine came back at 978. My 2nd shot (Moderna) was late January.
  13. My 2nd shot was late January and I'm planning to do the 3rd in mid-late September (followed by draws 2 & 3 at some points after that).
  14. I signed up over the weekend and had my first blood draw this morning- curious to see the numbers (allegedly in 2-3 days).
  15. Yep, that was a solid April Fools' joke by the Chronicle for the edition leading up to 4/1 back in 2014. https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2014-03-28/all-aboard-the-soccer-train/
  16. Don't sell yourself short. With some basic literacy courses you could probably handle it.
  17. Yep, 4th Tap blows. Lazarus is pretty terrible too unless something has changed recently- I gave up on them in 2018. Zilker Brewing Co. is my favorite in that region. I haven't seen Meanwhile mentioned here so I'll bring it up. They're south with a nice setup (plenty of land, a few food trucks, a stage for bands) and decent beers... easy to combine with a trip to Live Oak, Hi Sign, etc. I stopped by ABGB today- great beer as usual and a good band playing. They also have a tangerine sour on tap right now.
  18. Tech alum checking in here. For background, I don't read any message boards beyond this one, and even here I've rarely ever viewed the football forum until this recent shake-up (I'm here for the titties and beer). I graduated during the SWC era and don't think I even realized it had become Big XII until the early 2000s- I didn't start following Tech again sports-wise until Mike Leach took over. I'll kinda miss the regional conference we had, but otherwise will enjoy trips back to campus to watch games and bar hop my old spots as usual. It'll be weird/different at first, but will still be fun.
  19. Someone started a thread about it- guess you didn't bother to look before acting like a bitch. R.I.P. Dusty, thanks for the memories and your contribution to the soundtrack of many of our lives.
  20. TCU easily had the worst ROI for their payments vs. the other SWC schools during that era.
  21. I spent a year working on a SMU death penalty documentary (Pony Excess- the series finale of the original ESPN 30 for 30) and was present for most interviews we did for the film + countless discussions with people who were involved during that era from all SWC conference schools. It became very clear that all schools had substantial "big bagman" groups, except maybe Rice.
  22. Look at posting your photos/video to Pond5, Shutterstock, Getty Images, etc. They and others like them make it available for people to license for random projects or broadcast network/streaming projects- thousands of production companies need random specialized content for their projects. Worst case nobody licenses your content and you've lost nothing. The other side of it is maybe you find a niche that people pay for. You can do all of that while continuing your job hunt.
