  1. This thread has me psyched. The wife and I are heading to a friend's wedding this summer in Tuscany. In all, we'll have three days in Rome, two days in Florence, and two in rural Tuscany with exact locations TBD. Aside from places already mentioned, where are the best places to eat in Rome and Florence, and where else in Tuscany should we visit/stay? Siena is an early contender, but I'm interested to hear what y'all think.

    How did you already purchase a game ticket?

    If you look at the major secondary market apps, they're already for sale. I purchased mine through Vivid Seats.

    To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how it will work myself since there's no way tickets for the 2020 season have been printed yet; however, the tickets are fully guaranteed in case things go south. That said, I figured it was worth the chance potentially getting a ticket for "only" $250 seeing how much the ones in Austin were going for. I'll report back after the game to confirm whether I made a savvy, early purchase or fucked up.

  3. Thank you for starting this. I purchased a game ticket around Thanksgiving with the idea that our fan base was in the dumps at the time and theirs was distracted by several more important game on the horizon. I also booked refundable hotel rooms in both BTR and NOLA since I haven't decided where I'll be staying yet. Those hotels (in BTR, at least) will fill up fast if they haven't already. Have not yet purchased airfare.

    This is so much nicer than watching the 2nd half of the Longhorns game.

    I'm thinking about checking out the Star for a game this weekend. What's the story on the Star? What to see/do? Where to park/eat? How do tickets work?

    Just flew back from Tampa this morning. Stayed right across the street from the Convention center at the Marriott Waterside.  Nice hotel with a very good lobby bar and outdoor patio bar on the water.  Also a third floor pool bar.

    There is a pretty good hockey bar called Hattrick's.  If the Lightening are in town you should go - they play just a few blocks from the convention center.  There is a free trolley (think St Charles Street Car) that goes from downtown to Ybor City.  Lots of bars in Ybor.  We had dinner at Columbia which is a very cool spot - FYI the bartender had three bottles of Pappy last night.

    Went to Bern's and its a great experience.  I thought the steak was ok (needed a lot more seasoning) but the atmosphere was fantastic.  I could sit and drink in their bar all night. Think Goodfellas meets Casino.  We were drinking with a local chick later and she said its looks like the inside of a whore house.  Pretty spot on.  Didn't know anything about the Dessert Room and the waiter didn't mention it - but we were drunk as fuck so he might have been trying to get us the hell out of the there.

    Years ago we would go to Tampa and spend most of the time in Clearwater.  That's a good spot.  There is a crab place called Crabby Bills in St. Pete that was fun if you like to drink beer and pick boiled crabs.

     

    Of course you have Mons Venus, and there is a Hard rock Casino near downtown.. I didn't go, but a few others went and they said it was fun.  One of them won $800 so he was pretty happy.

    Great stuff. Thanks!

  6. I really liked Gui on McKinney for a long time, but it appears to have changed ownership and is called Ta-Ta now. Not impressed. The food quality slipped a little, but the price went way up. No plans anytime soon to return.
