  1. This really really makes me sad. This was going to be my most fun NYE in years. Ugh.
  2. Section 83, row 1. Will throw in 2 Center Court Club tickets and a parking pass (you'd have to drive to me in S. Austin near Bowie HS to get the parking pass since it's a hard copy but the tickets transfer electronically - parking is only $10 in the area so I wouldn't bother unless you already live close).$25 for 2 or $30 for 3. Shoot me a PM.
  3. Big fan. Saw him a couple months ago at Scoot Inn. Dude is legit even if it feels like a bit of a shtick playing such retro stuff these days. Guy is good though and committed to the genre. Personally I love it.
  4. Looks like I picked a good weekend to go to Vegas
  5. This thread is stressing me out. Hope you get to do at least some fun stuff. We’re hoping to hit Scotland in July for the Open Championship at St Andrews and some random wandering (wife wants to see the Isle of Skye) and then maybe meet up with our son and his fiancé in Barcelona for a few days. I have zero confidence that any of that will happen, but you never know. Gotta try at least.
  6. Believe I used Open Table, but calling, using concierge also good ideas if you can't find an available time. They are both pretty busy so I'd definitely get on this now if they're booking this far in advance.
  7. Very good. It had the unfortunate scenario of being the Saturday dinner after my Friday dinner at Carbone, which was maybe the best dinner I've had in the past decade. Still, it was good and a fun place for a group.
  8. Milo’s is a good idea. We love Greek. I love seafood, wife not so much, but this just might work.
  9. Yeah, I view him as a project who could turn into a badass with that arm for his Junior and Senior seasons. We are in big trouble if we're relying on him next year unless we magically find 5 experienced badass 5* OL in the port who can protect him. Dude is not mobile, he'll get killed behind our current OL.
  10. Thanks for the reply. Anything other than Asian or Italian in Venetian complex that you'd recommend? I stay there all the time but rarely eat there.
  11. Hitting Vegas for a couple nights in a couple weeks. Got a comped stay at Venetian. Gonna go to the Texas-Stanford game at T-Mobile and throw the wife in the spa that day. Hitting SW Steakhouse one night. Recs for something solid but casual for one night at Venetian or very nearby? We’re feeling very lazy and just want to chill and gamble since normally our Vegas trips are pretty manic and party filled. Don’t really want to jump casinos much if we can help it.
  12. Man, if those are winning issues with most Texans than I am really not aligned with most Texans because I don't give a shit about any of that stuff.
  13. OP with the seriously overly dramatic take. I've bitched for years about our fans, but all things considered last night was a pretty good showing and a good baby step in the right direction
  14. Pretty sure Swindell isn’t. I believe he’s an anti-vaxxer.
  15. Only way Zags don’t win it all this year is if someone gets ridiculously hot against them from 3 in the tourney, and even then they’ll probably still win it.
  16. I’m going but only because I have seats in one of the swanky new South endzone suites. Gonna take it out of the school in free booze and food.
  17. Watkins is a fucking national treasure. Wish I could talk like that but my corporate clients would probably frown on that.
  18. Anyone else going to see Drive By Truckers at Scoot Inn this weekend? Friend just invited me. I don’t know their music well. Big fan of Jason Isbell but that’s kinda irrelevant.
  19. Got an invite to one of the new south endzone suites on the east side of the Jumbotron. Holy fuck are those things amazing. Huge bar with two bartenders, wall of TVs showing the game plus other games, massive leather seats each with their own small TV showing the game and stats, cushy sofas, huge dining table, private shitter with a 50” TV on the wall so you don’t miss any of our shitty football team. Had finger foods set out and the drinks were flowing. Then you go down to the 4th floor Founders Club to eat. More bars down there, no charge for anything. Menu includes an ice bar with badass raw oysters, lobster and shrimp, a s’mores bar, truffle deviled eggs with slices of truffle on each one, crazy good charcuterie, etc. so ridiculously good and over the top. Spent the whole third quarter down there eating instead of watching our abomination of a football team. May have been the most luxurious place I’ve ever been and I’ve stayed at plenty of Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton’s, etc. and been in Jerryworld suites. Game view is wild. Look to your left and there’s the massive Jumbotron screen. Look down and it feels like you’re hanging over the field on one of those Skycam cameras. Look out over the stadium and it’s all at your feet - you feel like god. Being rich would be nice. Guess a $10 million+ donation to the University buys you some cool stuff. I wanna live there.
  20. Salty Sow Haymaker if you want bar food/poutine.
  21. As a guy who played HS hoops and failed miserably at college hoops, but knows good basketball when I see it, it simply blows my mind that someone who claims to love basketball as much as Bitterwhiteguy could be a fan of Shaka's brand of hoops. I like Shaka, but not for the brand of basketball he put on the floor at Texas. It was abysmal.
