  1. Good call to go for it there, bad play. I cannot believe what I’m about say, but I agree with Rod Gilmore
  2. Lol did Tech hire Charlie Strong? This guy is a bozo
  3. Card is abysmal. Give Bijan the fucking rock.
  4. Why did he step up straight in to the pressure?
  5. I went last night to try to see this giant mother fucker hit 61. 0-2 with 3 Walks, and one pop out to dead center in the 9th that fell 3 feet short of 61 and clinching a playoff spot with one swing. Place was electric by Yankee game standards.
  6. Saint Maude. Slow burn, psychological thriller/horror movie. Fucked up. Available on Prime.
  7. @UpperWestside I need to take a client out to dinner in October, and she specifically requested Upper West Side or Harlem (I think she lives in Westchester or something like that). Needs to be nice but not like 2/3 star Michelin nice necessarily. The only suggestion I've gotten is Sushi Ishikawa, but not sure if counter seat is the best option. Do you happen to have any suggestions that come to mind? I'm so out of the loop on uptown happenings.
  8. All things people have mentioned previously, the first two of which are brought on by the fact that I had to fly economy last minute on an international flight the other day: People who stand up/hang around the gate before your boarding group is called: eat a bullet. People who listen to videos out loud/talk on speaker phones in public places: literally fuck your own face** People who whisper/talk to each other during a movie: go play in traffic. **caveat posed as a question to Surly dads, since I am about to join that group: is there a reason why so many people let their kids listen to shit out loud on iPads and iPhones vs. plugging in headphones and fixing the volume? I assume there has to be an actual reason vs. every living parent being inconsiderate.
  9. Pearl. Not as great as X, but still pretty good. Mia Goth was terrific. this one is on my list. I’ve heard it’s brutal.
  10. Piggy backing on the above, does anyone have a go to for quality sweaters (maybe a step below BC) for the colder months? I gave up on retail button downs in favor of a local shirt maker for the warm weather months (excellent decision), but I haven’t made a similar break through on sweaters.
  11. I think at least me, Penelope, UpperWestSide and nychorn, and maybe Stunn? There used to be others on the old site. It’s a long walk across town for me, but I’ve spent way too much money at A-1 Records, Discovery Wine and Mast Books in your neck of the woods.
  12. I knew we had a bunch of Lake Travis and Westlake honks on here, but I didn’t realize Gilmer inspired such devoted group think.
  13. Barbarian. Not giving any commentary, as it’s best to go in blind. Glad i saw it. Seeing Pearl tomorrow night. X has been either my first or second favorite movie of the year, so can’t wait to see this.
  14. You answered your question in my opinion. Just go the next time you are in New York. I’ve used both Midtown and Soho locations. The former will be less crowded and will likely have an older salesman (for better or worse).
  15. I got some C&J loafers earlier this year for the first time. Hard not to wear these into the ground. So great.
  16. These are pretty great back to back. It was the O Line!! Wait, wut?
  17. @Burt Macklin you may have already addressed elsewhere, but curious what you are seeing as the reason(s) for the dramatic change in defensive results through 2 games. Better effort, better execution, changes in scheme, a combination? Or is this just a small sample size and there are red flag warnings?
  18. Yes, currently sitting by a pool in Aix a bottle deep, but that isn’t going to stop me from stalking Surly in my down time!
  19. That looks really fucking good. I haven’t been, and looks like I need to change that
  20. I’m currently in Aix En Provence having just come from the Riviera. Assuming you are going before the end of September, as others have said, given the amount of time probably best to just bounce around between Antibes and Menton. A great train connects each of the beach towns. You would need a rent car to really explore deeper than the immediate surrounding areas, but I’ll say that parking in the actual beach town areas really sucks. A few thoughts: From the Eze Sur Mer train station, you can hike up the Nietzche path to the old preserved village of Eze. It’s touristy to be sure, but still pretty cool and the views of the Riviera from the very top of the garden are great. The hike requires shoes and water and you to be in decent shape; it’s not a leisurely stroll but tourists do it every day. Menton is much lower key with an Italian vibe. Cool town. St Jean Cap Ferrat is beautiful and has the Rothschild grounds. The Four Seasons on the tip the peninsula is stunning, but hits the wallet fucking hard. Villa French Sur Mer is right there and also cool. Le Sentier du Littoral is a nice little walk along the coast of Antibes. Need a car for access. A bit further inland, but St Paul de Vence is a cool preserved village to walk around. Cannes is a dump.
  21. I finally went to Laser Wolf last week. It continues to blow me away that a place with that vibe exists in Williamsburg, but it was awesome and the view is incredible.
