  1. Is Wilco dead? A triple album by Tweedy seems a bit ominous.

    I guess the second Mama Betty's (Burnet Road), which has been opening "next month" for about a year, is actually going to open this week. I'm not expecting much, but I imagine we'll give it a try.
  3. Not to mention that subtle detail that the majority of maglev technology doesn't use permanent magnets.
  4. That's fantastic.
  5. Can you fill me in on this hypothetical? Is there an underlying assumption that we didn't play (and lose to) tOSU? There are way too many moving parts in this thread to keep up.
  6. This is the kind of shit that happens when we let Shania Law weave its way into local politics.

    183 & Burnet or one of the others? I love that place.
  8. We've only been once (Brian Posehn a month or two ago) and it wasn't bothersome, other than being in the Domain. The old version was about as clean as a Thai brothel.
  9. By every metric I've found the SEC is the best conference in football. Here are head-to-head records among the P4 conferences: SEC: 10-3 B12: 10-6 B1G: 7-5 ACC: 7-12 Combine our overall record with that interconference data and I'd say a 9-3 Texas team should be considered 10-2 (ish), especially if tOSU wins out.
  10. That's a good review. And, ahem:
  11. We were unfortunately gifted tickets to that "comedy" "festival" at Far Out Lounge on Friday. That guy was so painfully unfunny the crowd was literally silenced. Every once in a while you'd hear some groans, and maybe some neckbeard chuckling, but I've never in my life seen a crowd of probably 700+ people be so utterly perplexed. The final two "comedians" weren't much better. I guess I should have known that was a Rogan guy.
  12. Seriously thinking about hopping the pond for this:
  13. Stoops also inherited good talent. John Blake was just too inept to use what he recruited.
  14. Well, the first two lines of my post were "I tried the Mi Tienda you-bake blue corn tortillas again. They still suck."
  15. That's crazy. I think the bass part drove the guitar parts!
  16. This is starting to sound like the insistence that I change my San Francisco vacation to San Diego. Is it really that absurd to ask where I can find blue corn tortillas in Austin? surly gonna surly
  17. Well, New Mexico stacked blue corn enchiladas is also a delicious option. Don't forget the fried egg.
  18. I haven't tried the yellow corn version. I want red or blue for a very odd reason: my wife has to eat an extremely restricted carb diet, so when I make "enchiladas" I use the very low carb flour tortillas for her. I understand, it's not authentic at all. The problem is that if I use yellow corn for me once everything is all sauced up it's hard to see which is which. Blue or red corn tortillas are pretty obvious. There are other solutions, sure -- two different pans, etc. I'm just trying to simplify. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
  19. I tried the Mi Tienda you-bake blue corn tortillas again. They still suck. They're super fragile and have a weird texture when cooked. Any (Austin) options for blue (or red) corn tortillas? Not tostadas. I have a couple of mercados to check nearby, but I'm not sure they'd stock such a thing.
  20. I had a similar catastrophe with one of those countertop "Fry Daddy" deep fat friers. Drank too much, decided some french fries would be good, left the plastic lid on the fryer, laid down on the couch and woke up about 2 hours later to the gnarliest and most likely carcinogenic smoke because the lid melted and dropped into the fryer. I just threw the whole thing away.
  21. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
  22. Not really a "concert" per se, but we were gifted some tix to this comedy event at Far Out Lounge tonight. Holy shit I have never heard less funny sets in my life. The rap guy performing when we rolled in was by far the best thing we saw, and he wasn't trying to be funny whatsoever, he was just doing his thing. The following three "comedians" were painfully awful, to the point where the crowd (which was large) was either silent or booing. So, that's a wasted night.
  23. Well, it's possible there is some common ground, but I have to warn you: I hate "Aqualung" and "Light My Fire".
  24. Well, damn. I've always said "Tempted" is my favorite pop song ever, and I'm not close to changing my mind on that one. Those others you listed aren't far behind.
