    I don't get the Bowen hate. 

     

     

     

    He’s always been good on Update. I think the hate comes from putting him in every sketch no matter what.

    I'm quasi worried Elko falls into some good OC by luck.  we had Klein pretty much nailed.

    This. We should have thrown some NIL money at Klein to stick around.

    Also Reed is our Giving Tree.

    Martin Brothers' Cafe on Guad north of campus ... closed in 1997 so it might be an unknown for many of you.

    Magnolia Cafe on Lake Austin Blvd ... thought it would always be there.

    Really sad on Magnolia. CDC talked me into season tickets at that location. That son of a gun could sell snow to Eskimos.

    You guys know that Apple doesn’t do any of that stuff in their originals, right?  So you can want it but hopefully you know that it isn’t going to happen. 

    Correct. Another reason why Gilligan is a great partner. He’d rather light himself on fire than video boobies.

    Let’s play the game with a commonly shared experiences. What Austin restaurants would you rebuild to flip Carol

    - Ez’s on Lamar

    - Cain and Abel’s (original location)

    - Baja Fresh on Guadalupe

    - That weird gyro place by Castillian.

    - Player’s

    - Dobie Theater 

    - I’d install a Thundercloud Subs in my house. 

     

     

     

     

  5. VIP Vault thoughts: 

    - Many technical issues, but they usually fixed it. And they were always nice about it. User error probably cost me a bottle of Old Forester Presidential. 
     

    - It’s more democratic. A lot of first time BTAC owners this year. I don’t give a shit because they’re going to give me Lot B/ORVW and WLW/GTS/THH every year. 
     

    - I didn’t get Parker’s or 4RLE this year. These were lay ups in previous years, but I did get a JD Special Release. That was a floor drop every year previously. I wanted that Parker’s, agnostic on the 4RLE (it’s not priced well), but if I get a couple Coy Hills moving forward I’ll call it even. Hopefully stuff like 1924 and ER12 is an email instead of a drop. So sick of this camping out line bullshit. 

    - I don’t love them throwing legacy points out. It’s a rolling 12 month point total now. I’ve tried to buy every 6 pack, bottle of wine, mixer, and nice bottle of booze at the same location since I moved back in 2011. Loyalty should mean something.

    That's my point exactly on this.

    Very curious. The Brewzle guy has interviewed a couple mom and pop owners and they’ve basically said they’re getting squeezed by the distributors to charge less on anything that isn’t allocated. I remember Old Ezra 7 Rye at $40 was a bottle that was singled out.

    Methinks he hung up a $130 dollar handwritten sign for Heritage and his Jack guy rapped him on the wrist.

    That was a cool store. You could routinely find allocated stuff for 125% of MSRP. Of course it went straight to hell after Covid.

    I didnt realize the Heritage bottle was desirable.  Saw it at Village Liquor on Gessner yesterday for MSRP.  Already ordered one from TW this morning and probably will go back and buy another.

    That Village location selling anything above Jim Beam at MSRP is quite shocking.
