    SXSW 2024

    Can't remember if posted . . . don't care . . . you can really get the feeling Britt appreciates Westerberg's writing on the second tune here ("Alex Chilton"):
  2. Sometimes that works out.
  3. Damn, man, I gotta say I admire your attitude. I hope I'm in a similar mindset when it's my turn. Extra credit for the nurse "getting the yips". Bernhard says "hey".
  4. I can only assume it would days if not weeks of prep to purge my colon of all the enchiladas. Dang.
  5. Unfortunately, I got nothing. My daughter and son both CAPed into UT-Austin and are thriving, but they are completely different animals, one an academic and one not. I have no idea how my son got in. I'm not asking questions. Any port in a storm.
  6. Given the fact that at least half of Austin's premier soccer clubs are coached by Euros and South Americans . . . yes?
  7. My crock pot has a "warm" function. I use that to hold things at temp for hours. Haven't killed anybody yet.
  8. Colonoscopy prep or not, you should know better than to ever trust a fart.
  9. I would love to see The Pretenders before I shuffle off this mortal coil, but she's way way older than even me. I just wonder if they still bring it?
  10. Slightly off the enchilada topic, but in line with the bottom of the barrel TexMex discussion: I used to work a few miles away from a Pancho's. I would get their 4 beef tacos for $1 to-go special at least once a week (except I'd get 2 orders, so 8 tacos). I don't know what I ate, but I think one of those tacos whinnied at me.
  11. I'm skeptical that a 4th-year starter will suddenly become a more disciplined player.
  12. I wanted to punch my TV last night during that interview on 60 Minutes. Gah, Gym is a beating.
  13. If a theremin is in the running, then a saw is, too.
  14. . . . and he played it straight. Beautiful. "Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment."
  15. Did everyone get a free push of heroin at the door?
  16. A buddy of mine ran promotions for an extremely well known Austin brand for years. Lots of branded big stages, lots of smaller "private events". He was very tied into Nashville, and is in fact very close with Jack White, but mostly worked on the Americana side of things. We were talking about pricing one day and I asked if a Keith Urban or Miranda Lambert type would do show X and if so how much? First he laughed, and then the number "think of how much a million dollars is" came out of his mouth. Not that they book that every on event, but getting a one off is apparently super pricey for the superstars.
  17. Did you ever wonder exactly what mammals you were eating? (I'm using the term "mammals" loosely.)
  18. This^2. My only complaints about soccer and track were random gross weather (both hot and cold) and a certain amount of boredom between events on tournament/meet days. My stepdaughter did Irish dance. Holy Jesus, that was a beating.
  19. I am well aware. Now imagine a bunch of 7th graders recruited to play the damn thing with zero brass experience whatsoever. We were at the beginning band concert and each section played a unison tune. When the French horns came out, I pulled out my phone and launched voice memos. My wife asked wtf I was doing . . . I just said "wait and listen". It sounded like a herd of cattle all suffering from colic.
  20. I'm not sure I put a lot of stock into the assessment that Vitello "looks like" an eventual flameout. He sure isn't flaming out yet. Again, Texas fans have a distorted sense of what is possible, what is reasonable, and where we currently stand.
  21. The changes in our KenPom AdjO/AdjD ratings before and after this weekend look a little more extreme than they might be. Apparently there are a whole bunch of teams crammed into a small space, so slight changes up and down can raise or lower a team quite a few spots relative to the others.
