    Anyone going to wax about La Strada? I know @huge was a fan. I believe that was actually just before my time. 

     

    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.

    Yeah, that dive was was on Holcombe. It reopened on Bissonet in 2008. Wasn't the same

    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").

    I wonder if a higher than average antibody count would hint at a successfully fought off exposure/infection that triggered the war machine. 

     

    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).

    What’s a “good” number?

    Studies I read said anything over 350

     

    Mine came back at 978. My 2nd shot (Moderna) was late January.

    Cross posting this, but a free antibody study ongoing through UT. They're studying vaccines and antibody levels. Testing locations all over.

     

    I got the gimp J&J 5 moths ago but had a really strong reaction. I'll share my numbers when I get them

    I signed up over the weekend and had my first blood draw this morning- curious to see the numbers (allegedly in 2-3 days).

    Also - does anyone remember the April fool's joke that some local outlet ran with where they did the mock up of the stadium being built on top of town lake over east of Congress? We are getting closer and closer to that not being a joke. 

     

    Yep, that was a solid April Fools' joke by the Chronicle for the edition leading up to 4/1 back in 2014.

  7. Sounds like compadre in the pville area might be close to OP.
    I’ve tried to like 4th tap but just can’t. In that area is hop squad, celis, adelberts, circle, abw, Oskar blues, etc. A little more central is brewtorium and oddwood ales. 
    East side has Lazarus and blue owl.

    Most of the south ones I like have already been mentioned. Hard to beat a nice day at live oak or abgb. The people that own nomadic are cool.
     
     


    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.

  8. Would love to hear what our T8 friends are hearing about their universities.  I think all of the Iowa State fans got really mad and stopped posting here.  Seems like Okie state fans are still around, which I think most UT folks would agree we’ve always liked Okie State.  Tech folks? Kansas?
    Don’t give 2 shits about Baylor or TCU so yall can fuck off. 
    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.

    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.

    TCU went 3-8 in 1985 and was never ranked at any point in the season. In fact the only season in the whole 1980s that they ever even achieved a ranking was 1984, when they peaked at #12. You might not be a very smart man.

    TCU easily had the worst ROI for their payments vs. the other SWC schools during that era.

    I am a photographer, but I really don’t know how to monetize it.

    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.

  12. Just started for the first time.   I'm not sure I could recommend, but I cannot look away.  So hooked. 
     
    I watched it for the first time a few months ago and your post describes my experience with it as well.
  13. When I was living in Lubbock, I had a girlfriend who lived on one of the top floors of Coleman Hall at Tech, it was 12 stories I believe.  She claimed it would move a bit, but I told myself that was only when I was spending the night.  Anyways, I was never too happy about spending the night there.  I mean I was, but I wasn't, but yet I was.
    I've always had this thing (phobia) about high rises, and not living in them.
    I lived on the 10th floor of Coleman one year. One night my gf and I were on my bed watching a movie and she looks at me and says, "Are you doing that?". Turns out the bed was shaking. I looked to my right (toward the door) and saw the clothes in my closet were swaying on their hangers.

    30 seconds after that my neighbor opens my door and yells, "What the fuck!?". He had a fish tank and there were waves in it that eventually led to water spilling out of it.

    Next thing we knew it all stopped. The next day there was a story in the paper that there had been an earthquake overnight and IIRC the epicenter was in Alpine (plenty far away). The news story said that the only people in Lubbock who reported anything were those living on the 5th floor or above in various buildings around town.

    Anyway, CSB and all that... hadn't thought about that in ages.
