    Wasn't it already being used as one of the pillars?  If not, how convenient to have an extra rock lying around.

    I don't think it was one of the original 13 pillars, just a shard of the same material.

  2. Listening to The Mavericks on Spotify, I remembered that we were at Stubbs when they recorded the Live in Austin Texas album.  I have the DVD at home.  Seems like a great thing to watch this evening.

    Saw them back in their "heyday" at the Erwin Center with Mary Chapin Carpenter opening, fantastic show.  Flaco joined them on stage, it was great.

    I was there because my wife really like Mary Chapin Carpenter.  I'm pretty sure that the Mavericks opened for Carpenter that night.  One of those shows when you walk away knowing that the opening act was just better.

    We saw the Mavericks a few more times and they were always great.  Raul had an incredible voice.

    Had lamb barbacoa, cabeza de res and a lamb sausage which was split and grilled with a heap of shredded cheese creating a nice cheese skirt. All really good. 

    What time did you go?  The two times I've been were right when they opened.  On those occasions, we opened and unloaded the front pit.  Your picture looks like the rear pit.

  5. Stopped by Churchrow Tejas Barbecue today for lunch.   No line at Noon on a Saturday is not a great sign for a barbecue joint.

    Noticed the distinct smell of mesquite smoke on the way in. 

    Got most of my order to go, so not much barbecue porn.  As I was ordering Miguel walked up and cut off the brunch menu, except for the Real Deal Holyfield.

    A quentisential piece to Tex Mex barbecue.  A quarter pound slice of brisket on a homemade tortilla slathered with refried beans, fried potatoes, a fried egg, and salsa.  Outstanding as usual.

    A nice place in north Austin.  We'll see how long it lasts.

    I can’t remember Jack shit about what was going on in this show, despite having watched the whole series.  Any good recap to catch me back up?   These long breaks are fucking stupid.

    I watched some from The Man of Recaps  A few weeks ago, I was able to find recaps of the individual seasons.  I looked the other day when the wife wanted to watch a recap, and could only find one recap that encompassed all of the prior seasons.

    No, most of our grandparents are dead on forums. I haven’t had a single one alive for a while. It was a snarky comment that meant no harm, I thought most would see that, but I digress. 

    Based upon what @MissingInAction posted, I figured his grandparents would have given it to him before they died anyway.

    Twenty years ago I watched the Texas v. tOUS game with some friends, one if which is an aggy.  At the end of the game, he confirmed that he would still rather have their then head coach and quarterback over ours.
