  1. you're gonna be disappointed if you show up tomorrow, it's definitely tonight. https://tickets.austintheatre.org/9222/9223
  2. it's showing at the paramount in austin tonight.
  3. just read a brooklyn vegan article about the best bands they saw at sxsw. cheekface was one of their highlights. i had the misfortune of seeing them twice last week and they are quite literally one of the worst bands i've ever seen. indie talk-singing nerd rock bullshit. fuck you brooklyn vegan.
  4. i talked to him after the kevin mckinney set and told him what an incredible job he did for both sets, seemed like a really nice guy. that was my first white denim experience and I don't get the appeal. that dude who looks like david koresh was super annoying.
  5. caught these guys during sxsw and they fucking ripped. will definitely be seeing them again.
  6. yeah, i'm exhausted. best new finds were bat lips, dropper, death valley girls, rugburn, rodeo boys. Favorite set was Alex Maas at High Noon. Kevin McKinney's set was also great...the rhythm section was way tighter than the soulhat reunion a few weeks ago. Not sure who was on bass but he was damn good, and the drummer was Robb Kydd. Osees on Thursday night was great but they didn't start until after 1am due to the storm and I just didn't have the energy to enjoy it properly. JNL bbq on Cesar Chavez was a pretty good place to hangout, they had cheap beer and mostly really good bands and there were never more than 20 people there.
  7. I think any amount steam is going to soften up the bark. Definitely worth experimenting with firming it back up after the steam. I could see blasting it under the broiler for a couple minutes working, or maybe a trip back to the smoker.
  8. we can all agree that bruce sprinsteen performing on any stage is always a mistake.
  9. millenial moshpit is how i've been referring to it. definitely a kinder gentler experience.
  10. 2nd attempt at a pastrami brisket last weekend. Used a prime brisket from Costco and cured it for 14 days...only did 7 last time and that wasn't long enough. Made the Katz dry rub, smoked to 175 then steamed in the oven to 203. Previous time I didn't steam it, definitely like the texture more after steaming but it obviously softens the bark. Overall thought it was really damned good.
  11. i also went to hotel vegas yesterday to check out some local bands. marry cherry, the stacks, and being dead were all good.

    Texas BBQ

    i've heard this for years, before pandemic. as long as those ribs and sausage continue to be absolute perfection then i don't care.
  13. yes, i was agreeing. boston is terrible.
  14. but he's right. legitimate lol
  15. Saw the viagra boys in Portland last Friday. It was a giant party. The whole floor was a mosh pit. They have several humorous shrimp references in their songs...at one point someone in the crowd threw a bunch of crocheted shrimp into the air. Extremely fun show and great music.
  16. My van isn't fancy, just the necessities. Have a full size bed, sink connected to a 5 gallon water container, and a 100 watt solar panel that runs a Dometic refrigerator and a roof fan. Plenty of storage under the bed for everything else needed. I couldn't live in it comfortably but it's great for a week or two at a time for 2 people and 2 large dogs.
  17. https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/they-accused-a-man-of-sexual-assault-in-a-small-west-texas-town-that-was-only-the-beginning/
  18. bought a 93 GMC Vandura conversion van during the pandemic and turned it into a camper. it has been extremely awesome for both convenience and quality of sleep.
  19. definitely normal, unfortunately.
  20. dale dudley was at the johnny walker memorial/soulhat concert last saturday at antone's. he was supposed to tell stories about johnny walker but instead he just told stories about himself and how fucked up he would get at radio parties. then he fake cried at the end.
  21. caught rickshaw billies burger patrol at white horse yesterday afternoon. still the best live show in town...and they also just won a meaningless austin music award for best metal band.
  22. Was also there to see soulhat yesterday. There were a lot of old people drunk at 2:30 in the afternoon. Enjoyed their set, looked like they were having a good time.
  23. Camped at Kickapoo Cavern State Park over the weekend. Definitely more in the middle of nowhere than I expected. Only open Fri-Mon, they've got 15 campsites and 4 park employees. Didn't do the cave tour because we had our dogs with us, but the hiking trails were nice. Was extremely dry out there.There was an Austrian man there camping with this huge rig...
  24. That old man in the old folks home is yanking your chain, Dio died years ago.
