  1. Yeah. I was in Denton at the time. Remember David’s funeral there. I used to see them in the bars around Denton. West Prairie St. Pub and mostly at the Longbranch on 35, a short hop from their place in Shady Shores. Longbranch was owned by Rex Cauble in the late 70s. Lots of stuff going on in Denton in that time period including Rex and the Cowboy Mafia.
  2. I’m with you. Loved the book. Found it fascinating and compelling.
  3. Wasn’t sure about their Catch-22 mini series but it is very good. Also, they are streaming The Shield. Never got around to watching it when it came out and now I see why people loved it.
  4. Grapevine. Two episodes dropped. It’s kind of a companion piece to their Southlake podcast. https://www.nbcnews.com/grapevine-podcast
  5. Impatatiently awaiting delivery of this box set. Pre ordered from Rhino but hasn’t shipped yet. “Can’t Hardly Wait” to hear it. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/the-replacements-tim-let-it-bleed-edition/ https://beta.thecurrent.org/feature/2023/09/29/dose-of-thunder-comparing-the-replacements-1985-tim-mix-with-the-new-let-it-bleed-edition
  6. Nah. They’ve had enough property to build a couple of stadiums they just decided to go this route. They also have use of the new PGA facilities and the Comerica center, which is The Stars facility. Not sure what else. City of Frisco, FEDC and FISD partner with the private entities.
  7. What’s interesting is that Frisco built Memorial Stadium in 1986 when there was one high school. There are now 12( I think) 5A high schools. Guess how many new football stadiums FISD has built since? Zero. They entered public/private deals with the Cowboys and FC Dallas to use their facilities for athletics, graduations and a bunch of other FISD events.
  8. NBC Dallas $2.8 billion Prosper ISD bond includes $94 million stadium https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/28-billion-prosper-isd-bond-includes-94-million-stadium/ar-AA1h20RE
  9. I hope it was slow and painful.
  10. They added 3 dedicated 4K channels a month or so ago. One shows specific 4K programming from different channels and the other two show different live sports. First two Longhorns games were broadcast in 4K.
  11. Defense told us over an over about the bazillion Texans who voted for him.
  12. They don’t give a damn about Texas. They all know the shit that has been going on with Paxton. They are just trying to decide which verdict will be best for their political careers.
  13. Man, this series has been so much fun. I had access to very good seats at Reunion during this period. I was there in ‘84 against LA game 4 when Derek Harper dribbled out the clock in a tie game. Everybody in the arena was screaming SHOOT! Also there in 87/88 Conference Finals game 6 when Mavs won to force game 7.
  14. I have moved some high end MCM stuff. Usually from buy/sell FB pages that are specific to the style. 1st dibs is the other high end antique furniture website. The asking prices are at the very high end of the spectrum. https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/style/hollywood-regency/?loc=texas-usa
  15. Epic performance. So cool under pressure.
  16. I guess I should have just gone down to Traders Village and got a DL. Coulda gotten a passport too.
  17. A three hour round trip and 15 minutes in the DL office was worth it. Plus, I got to see Paris in the Summertime!
  18. No. Not to mention all the idoits who schedule and don’t show up or cancel.
  19. Well excuuuuuse meee. Tapa said it didn’t post. Like I said. I tried to find an appointment reasonably close for two weeks. Some nearby had nothing until 2024 and we even have a mega center. It’s nuts in DFW, like the OpEd says.
