  1. Seems really clear, what he's saying... Equating success as a band (money/records sold etc) to being a "good" band is regarded.

    Houston BBQ

    Posted in the general bbq thread, but should've posted here. Made it out to Corkscrew in Spring. Got there around 1:00ish maybe a little before and the line took about an hour to get through. Not a fan of their ordering process. Wait in line for an hour, get to the front and place your order, then get a ticket...so you go sit for longer while your order is prepared. We probably waited another 20 min after ordering. I'm a lightweight these days and always get a sliced brisket sandwich. Sandwich was great with a mix of lean/moist. Wife got a "Bob-Bert" sandwich (1/3 meat, pico and green chile ranch) she got chopped brisket, which I tried to advise against, but it was fucking delicious. Potato salad was fantastic, super creamy with a tang. Mac and cheese was solid, but pretty standard. Apple Cobbler we took home and had later that night. Really solid place if you're in the area and have a couple hours to spare. Old Town Spring seems like a neat little place and is just what it sounds like.
  4. It was there in the mid-late 90's and around for longer than a few months. Many a Hand Grenade were consumed. We even bought a pack of Hand grenade mix and turned our home ozarka machine into a dispenser 🤣
  5. Heading out to Spring for something and wanted to stop by Corkscrew. I won't get out there until 12:45/1:00pm...are they going to be out of a bunch of shit by that time?
  6. Looks like I'm a few years behind (and it was recently added to Netflix) but I just started Your Honor with Brian Cranston. Great cast and I'm a sucker for crime dramas
  7. Just sales shenanigans. We would leave notes for one of the reps to return the call of a prospect Pete Zahut- then the # of a local pizza hut We had a girl call the Houston Zoo asking to "speak with Mr. Lyon"
  8. Seeing "Davis" reminded me when we fleeced the Orioles for Pete Harnisch, Curt Schilling and Steve Finley for Glenn Davis. 😆

    Longtime (41 years) Mandola place Damian's in midtown is closing in August.
  10. This post got me thinking... Is this...or what is the biggest/longest necro-bump in site history? Since I'm just seeing this thread, lets get it going again.. Anything black and white or old classics other than Wizard of Oz, Freaks, or It's a Wonderful Life. I've never seen Jurassic Park or 2001
  11. I really don't know what that team in the field was even doing..
  12. We're still without power in Montrose. We seem to be in a weird little pocket as the only couple of blocks in the area without power. Slept on couch downstairs last night as upstairs was considerably warmer. This blows.
  13. That was intense. Got the weather alert about 6:15, no real time to do anything. Lost power around 7. We're in Montrose and was able to go to HEB to pick up something to eat, wine, beer and ice...so weird the blocks immediately west of us all had power...we're still in the dark. Luckily it wasn't blazing hot last night and could sleep with the windows open. Some of the videos I've seen of downtown are crazy. Wells Fargo building was shredded by what looked like a tornado
  14. Have you looked into J. Hilburn? They come to you and measure etc and you get to pick your fabric/style/collar/buttons etc.. Some cities have actual stores, but I don't think Austin is one of them. We have a couple here in Houston.
  15. It was a sad state of affairs back in the day, but Goode Co. was better than anything else in town. I grew up on the west side of town and we would occasionally make it out to Dozier;s in Fulshear, but Goode Co was a few notches above the normal spots like Demeris or fucking Luther's Glad times have changed for all cities. That Austin list is sad too.
  16. Imagine how they would be if your 3rd baseman could get the ball out of the infield. He's killing this team hitting in the middle of the lineup. Remember in little league when there were players that were considered "automatic outs"? That's Bregman and he should be hitting 9th until he figures it out.
  17. Jesus Christ. Sadly I assumed the bolded above. Anyone that would shoot and kill someone over a fucking McDonald's refund needs to be removed from the planet.
  18. I guess there is something in the air... Just received/signed an offer as well! Similar to @DToro I voluntarily left a long time job with a great company in Jan 2021 to explore other opportunities, unaware of just how awful the job search was going to be. I naively thought that someone with 20 years experience in sales/account management would be a cake walk finding a new role. Couldn't even get a sniff. Over the last 3 years, I've worked 3 contract jobs in 3 different industries, none of which I wanted to be in or have the contract extended. It was brutal. My confidence was shot, my marriage was on the ropes. Getting your teeth kicked in on the reg by computer programs/algorithms or ignored by 23 year old HR folks or recruiters takes it's toll. My only advice and to be fair I didn't do this as much as I should have....use your friends. Use your connections and your friends connections. I didn't do it as much as I could've out of embarrassment/shame. I wanted to do it "on my own". What a fucking idiot I was. That being said, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Stay the course. It's going to happen. I can finally breathe.
  19. I imagine it's only a matter of time before they pick the dude up. Between the inside of McDonalds, the parking lot, traffic cams etc...there are cameras fucking everywhere.
  20. Jeff was a good dude and it really sucks that he's gone...Especially given the circumstances of trying to diffuse the situation. We ran in intersecting friend circles and I'm a couple years older than he was. Sad for his family and close friends. People have so little regard for human life, it's baffling.
  21. Bought a bag of the El Patio chips yesterday...Love them. I stick with my Herdez Guac salsa. Great combo.
