    Suspect you're correct which is why I'll be Ubering to/from the Domain or a nearby brewery rather than directly to the stadium, at least initially.

    Pretty awesome that it'll be Yeti. I'm tuning in to the presser at 10.
  3. So gross. And yet, his gross looks are actually the least gross thing about him.
  4. Saw Pat Green at Mile Zero Fest in Key West a few years back and then ran into him at a little bar near our Airbnb after the show. He was ordering a margarita and insisted on buying for our entire group. After all of the shit I've heard about him, I was fully expecting the show to suck, but he was great and we were all pleasantly surprised. Then, to meet him afterwards and for him to be totally cool was also a pleasant surprise. He was in a great mood, when we resisted having him pay for our drinks he said "shit man, if you knew how much they pay me for this you'd take the free drink. It's ridiculous!" Got a big laugh from everyone. He was very laid back, chatting with everyone. I became a fan after not really having liked him that much previously. Saw Lance Armstrong at the Marfa "Railroad Revival Tour" stop featuring Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharp & the Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow. Still probably the best concert experience of my life. Lance was hanging at the sound booth, but didn't talk to him. Saw Lars Ulrich of Metallica at the Radiohead show at ACL Fest in 2016. He was hanging in the VIP area by the sound booth with some hottie and we were right in front of that on the other side of the rail from him. We said hi and my buddy and his wife got a pic with him, but that was it.
  5. Just booked an Airbnb a block off of Canal for Thursday - Sunday of the LSU game weekend. Gonna be spending some time in this thread doing a little research. I've been to New Orleans a handful of times, and the food and drink choices are so good and numerous that is overwhelming. Fortunately, everything is so good that its hard to make a bad decision.
  6. If not already sold, I'm also interested in it.
  7. Rule of Law? What rule of law??? Fuck the ignorant shit that this country has become. A true banana republic.
  8. Odd. Every Canadian I've met hates the guy. In Ireland last year, I drank beer with a couple Canadians for a couple hours and we all agreed that Trump is disgusting and reflects horribly on the US. Every other person we talked to about Trump over there felt the same. England may be different.
  9. I suspect she didn't pay too much attention to that or what it means or the race baiting double meaning. If I did ask her that question, I think she'd say we don't want their culture of corruption and violence (MS-13 holla!).
  10. Fuck you back, but I understand the sentiment
  11. Yup, and I'm seeing it first hand. My mom is not a nazi. She loves brown people. She has several in her family. She is not in any way racist that I've ever seen. Yet here we are. I suspect there were many like her in Germany in the 1930s who didn't hate the Jews but were easily led down that path out of fear, manipulation, propaganda, economic worries, etc. Really sad to see it happening here, in my family, in 2019.
  12. My very evangelical mother just posted this little essay on Facebook from that paragon of Christian decency James Dobson: https://drjamesdobson.org/about/july-newsletter-2019?sc=hpslider1 So much bullshit, I don't even know where to start. He acknowledges the fucking humanitarian nightmare of it all and then proceeds to blame the liberals and say that prayer for Trump and his Wall are the only fix (I'm paraphrasing). Unreal what so called Christians in this country have become. My mom was a fucking missionary in Central America for crying out loud, and this is what she has been reduced to.
  13. Yup. Described me to a T, as well as multiple family members and friends. It's anecdotal, not sure how many other folks fall into our camp.
  14. I know some folks like you. What I strongly believe though, is that at the end of the day they won't be able to pull the trigger for a D no matter how distasteful they find Trump. I don't think going overboard to appeal to this segment of the electorate by nominating a Biden is worthwhile. I also know a number of folks like me, who are lifelong Republican voters who have fully made the switch and will not only vote anything but Trump but will also support much more left-leaning policy and Democratic candidates for offices other than the Presidency. I have several friends and family members who I am firmly convinced will never vote for another Republican again, at least at any time in the foreseeable future. For some of us, Trump was the eye opener we needed to swing way left and realize the lie we'd been buying from the so called conservatives.
  15. WTF is this supposed to represent? God that dude is weird, and racist, and a dumbass, and...

    I expect you're right

    I suspect they'll have a few hundred in the upper corners for $20/match, most will be significantly more. Supporters sections across MLS run from $280 - $550. I'm expecting Austin to be in the higher range of that, maybe the upper 400s.

    Not really. I looked at Houston for an example, and it looks like anywhere from around $400 to well into the several thousands depending on location and amenities.

    New renderings of the inside, club areas, etc. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/06/10/austin-fc-release-latest-renderings-new-stadium
  20. Hamilton is freaking awesome. Saw it in Chicago (voluntarily) and seeing it again in Austin next week (again voluntarily). Music is great, staging is great. Far and away the best musical I've ever seen.
  21. Just thought I'd join the thread to humble brag and say that my new place in South Austin is about 1/2 mile from Valentinas. Place makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Got damn I'm gonna be a fat fuck.
  22. Looking forward to this in September
  23. As a former right wing Christian (grew up somewhere to the right of Jerry Falwell) with much of my family (at least the older folks) still in that same boat, I tend to agree with @bad_teammate on this. While I appreciate what Pete is saying and really like the guy, it's a no win argument. Every time I try to come up with a religious argument for my family, I ultimately reject it and decide to stay silent because you just can't argue with faith. They believe what they want and and I just can't refute that, no matter how ridiculous or hypocritical I think they're being. Better to stay away from the faith based arguments and stick to facts, science and reality. It's the winning argument in the long run.
  24. Love ABGB for beer and hanging out, but I feel this way about their food. Maybe I'm the only one, but I think their pizza absolutely sucks ass and have yet to eat anything there that I absolutely loved.
