  1. Yeah, some of the terrain I really want to access might be too risky. Right now they're at 3 out of 5 on north facing slopes, aka where we are staying. Good news is the lower half of the valley has tons of tree skiing so there could be lots of goodness...
  2. Well then... this is promising for next week. Resort is so vast it tends to hold fresh snow for a long time. Avalanche issues, though...
  3. Talk about a poorly worded article. What it should say - embalmer stuck the penis in the dead sex offender's mouth. Why? It sounds like the embalmer took a nibble. Right wording, different reaction...

    All the people that bitch about SXSW is in town... I'm sorry but its great and, yeah, its busy but there are so many shows and you don't really have to spend any money save for drinks
  5. Absolutely. I mean, she needs to complain on FB about Austin.

    Marshall Amp show was good stuff. Had some nice giveaways and a good eclectic mix. Only stuck around for the first four acts but one was Freak Slug which was on my list to see. My friend stuck around for Fleshwater (opener on the Deftones North American tour) and he said they were great. This was the line at about 12:20 but when left at about 1:40, you could just walk in provided you had RSVPed. Line was done. Fawn: Freak Slug:
  7. I have to say this headline sucks... was it near the UT campus? Yes... it was on a feeder by the UT campus but it had nothing to do with or would have truly impacted anyone on the UT campus. Kind of feels like a fear-mongering headline. How about road rage shooting off of I-35. Man killed in road rage shooting near UT campus, police say

    I used to say DEE until a local music photographer corrected me that they say DYE. Here's one... local Austin latin singer lluvii - tell me how to pronounce the name.
  9. All depends on the experience you want. I'm from Bologna so clearly love it but there's something about an Italian beach vacation.

    So... when getting a turd like PBR, am I the only one that drops a lime in it? Feel like an idiot asking but I can pretend I'm drinking Pacifico or something.

    Hmmm... depends. I mean, on Saturday I parked in front of Trader Joe's at Seaholm and walked across to Auditorium Shores.

    Interesting. I was at Hotel Vegas on Sunday and was going to grab a Lone Star but they only had PBR (at least outside). The Hotel Vegas lineup today is absurd. I really wish I could go. All I can tell you is when it comes to parking, find a place that might be far but reasonably walkable. It keeps working for me. Do I have to walk a distance? Yeah, but at least I don't circle forever and then can get out pretty easily when I want. I'm going to do that tomorrow for the Marshall Amp show at Mohawk. Let's see if my strategy is still functional.
  14. Can't help you on Como. Rome is going to be ass to elbows packed, as usual. I love me some Rome and I'd love to visit my family there but, yeah, no. I was going to suggest going to a beach town on the Adriatic for a week. Settle in, enjoy the vibe and the town, use a car for little side trips. Your 15 and 17 year old would probably dig it. If you time it right next year, you can even be somewhere like Rimini to enjoy https://www.visitrimini.com/en/events/the-pink-night/ which is just a bunch of parties, wine festivals, live music, fireworks, etc. for a weekend.
  15. When / what specific time period?

    GSD&M Industry Party was a good time
  17. Do I have a south Austin venue for you!
  18. Not an icon but I took this picture on Saturday of the lead singer of Arcy Drive. Thought it came out pretty well.

    SXSW 2025

    Hit up Sips and Sounds yesterday which was pretty good. How do I put this... a very "safe" festival experience when you think of AJR and Benson Boone. Still they were good. Really liked Arcy Drive and the DJ Sets. Went to the 101x Homegrown event today at Hotel Vegas. Saw Variety, Prehuman and Grocery Bag. Hitting up GSD&M tomorrow.
  20. You're welcome. Good odds it will be a SXSW attendee

    Got wristbands to the GSD&M Industry party on Monday. How packed does it get?
  22. I read that as German, Anschluss and Panzer
  23. Color me not shocked at all "But you're ruining 6th street!?!?!?!?!!?" On a related note, unless I'm missing something, last homicide in Austin was February 12th. I'm sure I've jinxed it now. Also, has there been an update on this? https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/pedestrian-fatally-struck-by-vehicle-on-south-mopac-frontage-road-in-south-austin
  24. Its funny... I was recently wondering the same thing and someone gave me a good answer but can't remember what it was. One point was that powder snow all the time isn't necessarily conducive to great conditions for alpine world cup skiers. Think of the great runs on the world cup circuit... icy, steep and hard as a rock. The antithesis of Japan. As for Taos, @JCHIL they've had such a terrible snow season but it looks like you timed it just right.
