    Wait a minute. Did the items from the estate sale in the OP come from Texarkana? That would be some funny shit if my doll and your stuff were from the same place.

    She was originally from Texarkana, lived the last nine years at Lakeway.

     

  2. I keep a copy on the bookshelf in my office.  When people ask what it was like growing up in Longview, I let them watch it.  The inevitably tell me they have never laughed as much as they have watching this documentary.

    Wait-shouldn't we take a cue from out neighbors to the east and use the 'Horn Network to reunite Angelia with her long lost UT album?

     

     

    Would be pretty cool if you could I guess, I can tell you the cemetery where she is at.

    I just watched 30 seconds of this show, which is more than I’ve seen in years. Why were they fighting hand to hand if Rick had a gun on his hip?

    From what I could tell he only had three or four shots loaded.

  5. Yes, I was hoping there would be more live recorded footage. I’m guessing they couldn’t get approval or didn’t want to pay for the use of it.  Not performing in front of a live audience while he was “movie star Elvis” was just fucked up. He never really caught up to mainstream music after that since he could sell his own brand of gospel, country, and soul to his faithful fans. 

    I had aunts and cousins that would go to Vegas to see him and buy his merch at least a couple of times a year.  I was barely in junior high when he passed  The sad fat Elvis is the only one I remember  His version of the Battle Hym of the Republic was a great performance though  

     

     

     

     

  6. Anybody catch this?  Not too favorable on his manager later in his career. Hard to believe as famous and wealthy as he was he couldn’t really do what he wanted to do and travel the world.  Hearing Tom Petty narrate some parts was also kind of surreal. 

  7. For me Polvos was an acquired taste. Took a few times, enchiladas and fajitas are my go to. Fucking love the escabeche at the salsa bar. 

    Agree with the op on all three and Chuy’s sucks as well.

    I will add Flores Mexican Cantinas or whatever they call them  They all suck and you better not use a credit card there or you will end up with some nasty charges pretty soon after your visit.   Especially the Lakeway location.

     

     

  8. Another vote for Honda. Bought one six years ago and still going strong. Buy the gas without ethanol added and the carb pretty much takes care of itself. I also found that if you use the on/off gas switch and let the gas run out when you finish mowing will keep the carb from gumming up.

    Austin Aquafest.  

    Looking at the first concert thread on the music forum and started thinking of the acts I saw at AAF overthe years - Roy Orbison, Bad Company, Eric Johnson on the kiddie stage . . .

    K-98 Raft Race was held in conjunction with or around the same time as AAF.  In high school some buddies and I built and entered a raft.  I recall swimming from raft to raft with a solo cup getting keg beer.  Also recall the worst sunburn of my life.
