  1. Not much longer before the new SW Austin DeSano is open.  I'll be able to ride my bike to DeSano.  So happy for this.  I haven't peeked in lately but they're laying the foundation for an expanded outdoor patio and last time I looked, they had at least three ovens inside.

    Who knows.... its in Kyle, so I certainly never will. 

    I may make it to Buda for something but that's as far as I go.  Otherwise, man, that's too far.

    that’s ridiculous.  airport bullshit is not the same as a brick and mortar.

    Mr. Chuy?

    They're outrageously high pretty much everywhere.   We are planning a last minute road trip and one of our stopovers is probably going to be in the Nashville area.  Even places 20-30 miles away in Franklin or Murfreesboro are still pushing $300 for a mid tier Marriott property next week.

    And its not just Nashville.  The Westin in downtown Houston is $650.  W Dallas is $1200.  JW Marriott in downtown Chicago is $975.

    I would have assumed prices would be much lower due to decreased demand and the time of the year.  What gives?

    Pretty sure Nashville sells out because of this...

    Austin should downsize. 
     

    new borders are 35, Mopac, 183 and 71. 

    Those of us in SW Austin would like a word on our inclusion.

    Besides, if you make those the borders, you can F off and not come to Sagebrush, Sam's Town Point, Armadillo Den, St. Elmo, Leroy & Lewis, The Far Out, Little Darlin' etc

    What's funny about Elko "understanding what it takes" is that he's won 1 conference championship in 16 years as a FBS coach. That was a MAC championship in 2013. 

    Did someone say Mack?

    When I was an bank Asset Manager, I had THIS https://www.dezeen.com/2018/02/21/john-lautner-arthur-elrod-house-concrete-dome-palm-springs-modernism-week/

    in my REO portfolio.   It, like much of PS, was in disrepair.  Located in the same neighborhood as Bob Hope's pad, and Steve McQueen's.  It was a shithole, and I sold it at a fire-sale price.  I'm thrilled to see that the restoration is so well done.

    Hard to believe the Lautner house was sold at rock bottom prices

  7. I'm down with that kind of sound and sometimes I need some chill vibes at ACL... not often... but sometimes and when I do its something like this.  I avoid low energy shows like the plague but this won't be like that.

    I feel bad that I wrote this guy off early on.  His cover of "War Pigs" blew my mind -- terrific band and he totally brought it.  Live and learn, I guess.

    Yeah so I'm back this weekend for volunteer shifts and I'll be able to see him.  THIS time I am not going to sit in the Tito's tent for 40 minutes to watch a disappointing Passion Pit set.  I'll head over to T-Pain.  Will also check out Polo & Pan - heard so many good things about their set.

    Did anyone hit La Lom?  How were they?

    Also, I loved the Wet Leg show but I'll check out Midnight Generation this weekend. 

    I fully expect this is how I will feel after W2

    Used to go three-days every year, but after a hiatus for a few years I've been liking just going all out for one day.

    I did open to close all three days.  Its not easy (I'm Gen-X for perspective) but I still power through.  I recovered Saturday and Sunday mornings from the previous days but Monday... nah, man, that sucked.  The back and the lungs by the end of day three are pissed off.
