  1. Nah, but I'll be living up there full time. Nice! I am running out of time this season unfortunately (I could try but I'd piss off my wife) but I normally make a May trip to hit up A-Basin and Mary Jane. May have to ping you next year. I meet up with a buddy who lives in Boulder who has an Ikon pass.
  2. WTF where does that water come from? My God that's insane.
  3. FYI, starting next week Live Nation starts unloading tickets to certain shows for $25/all in
  4. Yeah, I think the live music is better, too... the quality... honestly, it depends what you like. If someone is really into one style of music, then you get what you get. I like all types of music cutting across all genres and I think Austin offers a really great blend of different bands and it spread all over the city so that you have great venues all over town. Man, I was just watching a video of Kurt Cobain talking about ticket prices... its not just Austin, its everywhere. https://www.threads.net/@philclifton/post/CxbhHL9IlSW But yeah, drinks have gotten absurd. My concert beverage of choice is now Lone Star. Cheap and easy. On the government buildings... yeah, between DT and campus was a bunch of garbage like this...
  5. The live music did not suck. BUT Old Austin downtown had a ton of ugly ass surface parking and aside from Liberty Lunch, I remember the only areas you wanted to be were 6th street and the Red River area. Now there's tons of places to go enjoy being downtown. The food choices were great if you were on a budget or didn't have much taste but I feel like Paggi House and Ruth's Chris was about as elevated as you could get... and yeah, Paggi house was where we took our fancy dates but, c'mon... wasn't it like a stuffy old person's place? Old Austin is the Austin you remember when you were young and free. College students today will tell stories of 2024 Old Austin before it was ruined. yes but, you know, Kerbey Lane "Old Austin" and such.
  6. ...and Flo's does good business. Go at the wrong time and you're going to be waiting for a table. The only other wine bar in that area was the tasting room for Wine for the People that was housed in the Spread & Co. location. Always felt very temporary. Oh... and Spread > Kerbey Lane all day long.
  7. 1. Illegal dams and who knows what else 2. Population growing 3. Rotten luck with where and how much rain falls 4. Would not be surprised if Abbott is rubberstamping industries that are using up a ton of water 5. Probably a lot of illegal pumping like those a-holes in San Marcos (see 1 above)
  8. Trying to work out the kinks... This may be the winner although I'm liking the face on #2 #3 may have nailed the face, though...
  9. Plucked my first real two tomatoes yesterday... time for a caprese. Have lots of hot peppers growing, too.
  10. Saw him live when he opened for the Digable Planets. Get past the first weird minute and then just watch it unfold... more jazz fusion but he is so talented.
  11. ...and to be honest, the place to go to town on tequila/mezcal is Mexico City. BTW... just checked Los Danzantes... last time I went there, I paid about $55 for this... not anymore. It is glorious, though but that pricing... https://mezcallosdanzantes.com/product/mezcal-los-danzantes-pechuga/ In case you're curious... https://www.mezcalreviews.com/filter-by/nom/o14x/
  12. I'm going to try to Mayville you next year. I'll be full time at Winter Park. you going to work at WP?
