  1. Nice score at WB Liquors this afternoon.
  2. A buddy of mine went to a corporate gig he played in the spring at Whitewater and he got trashed and was booed offstage. Totally agree with your statement. I never understood why he was so popular for such shitty music.
  3. How many times did @ousux rage quit Tecmo Bowl as a kid after pressing down and B for the 15th straight time?
  4. I travel a decent amount for work so mostly utilize the lounges on my trips back home, not so much on the outbound trip (I’m based in SAT). If I can dip out of my last meeting a few hours early and then hit up the Delta Sky Club or Centurion Lounge to knock back some free beers or cocktails I’m definitely doing it. With security lines at many major airports a crapshoot pretty much each trip, I typically plan on getting to the airport at least two hours early, giving me plenty of time in case there’s a delay. At worst I spend a little more time in the lounge than originally planned. Sky Club is also great because it’s one of the few lounges you can actually utilize after arrival in your destination (not just pre-flight or during connection). This is great if you’re meeting someone at the same airport and their flight arrives a little while after yours (or is delayed) and you have a relaxing space to sit and wait (with aforementioned food and beverages at your disposal).
  5. I was there the past few days and saw it lit up on the 4th. The thing is absolutely wild. The snow globe video was stunning to see in person. I took all of these from the High Roller Wheel, which is about a block or so away.
  6. Lack of lounges is exactly why I dumped the Chase trifecta (CSR, Freedom Flex, Freedom) after many years and switched to AMEX Platinum and Venture X. I read about the ABIA Sapphire lounge and am so glad that I can walk right by it on my way to the Sky Club.
  7. What the fuck is GG looking for there? Jfc
  8. Good morning, good afternoon, good night.
  9. Yeah it showed available at DeZavala too. It let me order it and then they canceled it like 30 minutes later.
  10. Fuck Spec’s. Fuckers just canceled my order of two JD barrel proof ryes at the DeZavala store in SA.
  11. The BiB is their own and pretty good for $50. I’m a fan.
  12. Initial impression. ER17> DEVR thanks to proof. ER17 is 101 while the DEVR we had is from 2019 and is 90 proof. We sampled DEVR, ER17 and regular ER and regular ER took a big step up in my book. You can definitely differentiate between DEVR and regular ER, but not by as much as you’d expect.
  13. Just your regular Monday afternoon pour…
  14. The Rebecca Creek Bottled in Bond is actually pretty damn good for $50. It’s their own juice and I had a sampling of it a few weeks ago at the distillery. There’s a hint of the “Texas funk”, like a mesquite note, but it fades quickly. I’m definitely not a huge fan of Texas whiskey outside of Still Austin and most of RC’s own juice isn’t great, but give the BiB a shot if you’re looking for something new to try.
  15. This stuff is apparently 4 year MGP aged for another 3 years in a toasted barrel.
  16. Do we need to do a Surly Pick of this to show those TexAgs waterheads how a pick should be done? I have a buddy who works for Skip’s who could probably make this happen.
  17. I believe it’s 4 year MGP (in Spanish Oak barrels) and then aged another 2 years in American Oak barrels. It’s great stuff, especially at the price point (I believe around $55).
  18. Fuck you, moron. Round 1 is now the play-in games. Maybe learn how the tournament works now before calling someone out you chromosome-missing motherfucker.
  19. At this point I’ll be shocked if we win a tourney game. This team has trended downward significantly in the last 10 games. I totally see us losing to a 14 seed in Round 2.
  20. Turned it off after 30 minutes. Felt like it was trying too hard to be cool and current. All the graphics between every scene got old quickly. Too bad. I was really looking forward to a new Eddie Murphy movie.

    1923

    I feel like they’re setting up Spencer to be the hero and then die at the end of the series like they did with Elsa in 1883. Total speculation on my part, but I could see that being a theme of these prequel series.
  22. Economy is fine. You may wait a bit if your return flight comes in later in the evening, but economy lot is less than a 5 minute ride from the pickup area. I think Green Lot is like $8/day while long term is like $15/day.
  23. A buddy of mine works at Skip’s in New Braunfels and even they have crazy shit in the back. He already got me an ETL around Christmas and he’s got a line on a 2022 GTS for me. Even though I’m not a fan of the method, this has what it’s come to in order to get highly allocated bottles without waiting days in line at Spec’s (which I refuse to do).
  24. Dough is a great spot right by Northwest Mall at 410.
