  1. Nothing formal but several have mentioned it. On one hand Mystic had the biggest loss of life so there are questions. But it’s also the first camp on the river and immediately past the dam so if it did break it would have had the biggest impact.
  2. A post from a friend… This is a tragedy beyond tragedy's. Violent storms on the evening of 7/3 flooded the Guadalupe River which Camp Mystic rests on. The damn broke and all the younger girl cabins down on the "Flats" as they call it were basically submerged. From my daughter Tiny, "Water rose up to the door mom. The only way out was to break the back window and climb out. It was am and I couldn't find my shoes. I was so scared but I kept going. I had my retainers in but didn't want to lose them, so l put them in the pocket of my pajamas. We climbed through the window and headed up the hill. The rocks really hurt my feet and I was so cold and shivering. We got to the top of the mountain and our counselor Annabelle was with us and was so awesome. She kept us safe under a tree. We huddled shivering and singing songs in the dark. Mom I thought I was going to die I was so scared. The thunder and lightening was so loud. Once it got lighter out we made our way back down to the Cypress side of camp and then Annabelle through us over the river and we ran into the dining hall of Cypress where we sat in the dark. They found me some dry clothes. We all just sat there waiting and waiting for hours. Then we were told we were getting on helicopters. Mom I didn't know if I would see you again."
  3. Dick the owner passed during the event. His 2 sons run it with him and one had got swept away but they might have found him.
  4. Yes, my daughter is pretty upset that her mystic term will likely be cancelled. But we have not talked yet about the next few weeks and friends that won’t return to school. Heartbreaking for so many.
  5. TravisClub golf course isn’t going to water itself…
  6. No words. I’m sure the remainder of the terms this summer will be cancelled but how long does it take to recover?
  7. Could explain why there are 16 or so girls in the cabin but only 5-6 are missing. I also have good information that one of the missing ones that I know has been confirmed found downstream alive.
  8. Yes, my daughter was in that cabin last year.
  9. So awful. One of those girls goes to school with my daughter.
  10. The older girls cabins at Mystic are higher on the hill but closer to the river. The younger girls cabins are lower but at the back of the camp further from the banks. Overall the camp is along the river so if it goes up 30 ft I’m not sure there is anywhere to go.
  11. I’ve heard Mystic is evacuating today. My daughter isn’t there this term but has friends there now. I think it’s a challenge to get in and out right now.
  12. Wow insane. I guess I should have sold my ones for tonight versus giving them to my buddy. He’s going to owe me one for sure.
  13. Anyone want 4 ticket for tonight? DM me
  14. Yes, I got moved. Was in L2 but got moved closer to home plate.
  15. Yup, at least give us a drone show for the amount of money we are paying for tickets to watch scrubs.
  16. Fuck that... only night games in Sept. Just not right to make us bake like that.
  17. Sorry, that park is only available for the real ones
  18. Yes, I think you are correct. Well that sucks. I was looking at EPSN that said the winners play game 3 which I just assumed would be the earlier game.
  19. Let's go. I'l be skipping out early on Friday for the 1:00 game and then tomorrow's afternoon. Hopefully they take care of business Friday since I can't go to the Sat night game.
  20. I have not selected and as far as I know you don't actually have to complete this process. Doing nothing just auto renews your current seats. It's only if you want to select parking.
  21. 3 seats in the Terrace Club just opened up FYI.
  22. I jumped in when they opened the Terrace and Touchdown clubs which was 2008 I think. I feel like ticket prices back there were high 300s versus what are now $800 while donation level has only slightly jumped.
  23. Austin ISD with a C overall for '23 dropping from a B: Individual school listing here: https://txschools.gov/?view=district&id=227901&tab=schools&lng=en
  24. I think I saw the east side Texas club with inventory toward the end of last week but it was limited. But the days of moving and adding seats in those club sections seem to be over. I've been in the Terrace Club for quite a while and I think the only move I would want to do would be the Touchdown Club where you get more shade.
