    Man I miss the Bass King dude, Leslie, Hoeks vs Roppolo’s at closing, Irish pub, those spray paint dudes blasting techno, etc. 

    Probably romanticizing my 20’s, sixth was never an upscale howdy doody environment, and there were a lot fewer options across the city at the time I regularly hung out down there (2002-2005ish)…but I still miss it.  

    I totally get it - I get some nostalgia down there sometimes when we go to Antone's.  I forgot about the guys spraypainting.

    OMG OMG OMG Kenny Webster is right.  What has happened to this previously pastoral section of 6th street?  I remember taking my kids out on evening walks in their strollers to buy ice cream and balloon animals while listening to folk music at Steamboat.  This must be a recent development and due to woke culture.

    Curious if we'll get another freeze in centex this winter. I would love to get my shit planted sooner this year. Last year I didn't plant until the first weekend of April. 

    That's a good question.  I bought 4" transplants and potted them in bigger containers so they can grow but I can move them if there is a threat of cold.  We're usually 4-5 degrees colder than DT Austin.

  4. Bought four varieties of tomaters this past weekend at the Natural Gardner.  One was Juliet which did quite well for me last year.  I think I also got Super 100 (going from memory), black cherry and another one.  Going to go pick up some peppers.  Also need to replace some rosemary plants that were not happy at 13 degrees.  Good news is my chile tepin push is showing growth at the base so it lived!!!

    Banana Blender Surprise goes way back.  My wife went to medical school with the bass player.  I think he is practicing somewhere up in Iowa. 
    Edit: It was the lead guitar Jason Barker.

    I knew those guys. I had a biology class with Conrad at UT and got to know David over the years as well. Allen Oldies Band played our wedding. Good times!

    Allen and I used to work together and met David at a party at University Towers.  All good guys.  Did Banana introduce you to your girlfriend?

    As someone who thinks that they are a connoisseur of music, you should reconsider your opinion. If you find yourself humming the tune from Top Gun, your opinion may be wrong. If you sing Eye of the Tiger in the gym, you may want to change your playlist. If you tap your feet to I Will Always Love You while doing the dishes, you might as well wave goodbye to any notion that you are cool. And if you chose Celine Dion Because You Loved Me as your wedding first dance song, you should be ashamed that you ever brought your opinion on music to this board.

    0 for 4 on that one.  Just worked out to Oliver Tree l and enjoyed some STP on the way home.

    Duran, Duran, Madonna, Rhianna.... Nice. When are Rick Astley, Foghat and Kansas coming to town?

    Duran Duran and Rick Astley comparison... do you think all music is "loud jibber jabber that all sounds the same"?

    (neg rep for disaparaging a band that will forever be holy due to its proper placement in Dazed and Confused)

  8. Really well thought out, Elron...

    "A car absorbing the impact around the driver is a pretty critical piece of crash safety. Not only will stainless steel divert more of the energy of a crash to the people inside, the metal is difficult to work with when it comes to minor fender-benders. While tougher than traditional steel and fiberglass vehicles, stainless steel is a pain to repair once damaged. The flat body panels also make any damage more obvious, but it seems to be the best way to utilize stainless steel, considering it is difficult to stamp and bend."

    And the aisle seat. Fuck, I’m getting old. 

    Yeah, F that... I'll say, I try to avoid shows like Moody because it costs your left testicle to be close to the action but like smaller venues like Antone's or Far Out where I can get right up to the front and get into the show.  We opted to go to Duran Duran in Houston so that at least we would pay for cheap seats but hang out on the lawn with friends rather than cheap seats on the roof of Moody.

    Shut the fuck up, you massive vagina. These are kids doing stupid shit and they’re gonna pay for your poor avocado-stained walls.  

    I’m gonna take this back to ‘96 and guess on what happened. The Westlake kids are the brains behind the operation, and this poor guy’s White Claw filled “mansion” is in Westlake. Some Lake Travis girls were invited because they’re like Tech girls, hot and slutty. Some Bowie jackasses were inadvertently invited and threw the guy’s tools through sheetrock. Because Bowie. 

    What if Rihanna was invited?
