  1. Going to Jazz Fest in two weeks. Anyone have any advice?
  2. I went to Osaka's new location the other weekend. It was great! Cost way less than I expected too and we were completely full. Has anyone tried Kanau yet?
  3. Is the tailgate happening @immamac?
  4. I have a new favorite Tequila. Lalo. It's Austin based and the price at $45 a bottle is hard to beat. I didn't believe the marketing on additive free making a difference but I had no hangover from it this past weekend. https://lalospirits.com/
  5. If there's a tailgate spot, I'd probably come up. I originally thought that Bon Jovi was the post game music at LCL and didn't read the fine print. Very disappointed. Have they announced who will be playing before the game?
  6. Bumping this thread up. Any good date spots that aren't as pricey as Kata Robata or Nobu within the loop?
  7. Anyone been to Vail or Breck recently. I have one day left on my epic pass and part of me wants to go up for a weekend in April to use it and maybe ski one more day. Is it even worth a trip at this point in the season?

    Italian

    Anyone know anything about the Thursday Italian Steak night at Mia Bella? I saw it on the list of their specials. The food was good when I went the other day and it's really close to my office. edit: Turns out the ended it because it got too expensive or something nevermind.
  9. They're probably feeling pretty good this morning with the 5% spike on gas.
  10. It's Chinese lockdown noise. They are going into the deepest lockdowns they've had in the last 2 years. I think the drop in demand is going to be less than people think.

    Italian

    Went to Mia Bella at Greenway for Happy Hour. Duck tortellini and Risotto were great. Also I liked the create your own pasta dish. The jalapeño pesto is so good.
  12. That's what I think I am going to offer as an option instead.
  13. Read through the thread but thought I'd bump this up. I'm starting to date someone who already has an Arbnb booked for memorial day weekend. I assume that she was supposed to go with her ex. She already mentioned she is looking for someone to go with her but might just cancel the trip. I originally said yeah that sounds fun I'd probably be down. However, I've read about the place more recently in Feb and March and it sounds like a trendy place lacking any infrastructure. Anyone have any good reasons to not go here? I'm mainly just looking for some good excuses lol
  14. UT needs to take them to the Dell Match Play. Missed opportunity if they don't take them. Also offer an ACC membership for every year Arch is a Horn since he's a huge golfer.
  15. As I was reading this, all I could think was this sounds like Tom Herman
  16. I'm going to the NASCAR race next Sunday in Austin. Any advice? I went to COTA for the US F1 GP wondering how different it is to this.

    Sandwiches

    I haven't been there in a minute but I remember my dad used to always pick up sandwiches from Nielsen's Delicatessen. I used to love their sandwiches.
  19. I know it isn't that significant domestically but a lot of American companies still work and move Russian crude abroad. Most of those companies did exit their holdings but they took their time.
  20. I think it was short sighted bc it took too much time. I'm pissed we didn't go straight for the jugular to start with and ban russian crude domestically tbh even if our allies didn't follow. We also let the Italians and other countries cut deals with Russian commodities such as aluminum before we pushed through sanctions. We let Putin's semi-state owned enterprises make money before we pushed through sanction that actually mattered. At the end of the day, the oligarchs and Putin still got paid and I believe we cost ourselves and focused on the wrong things.

    Allegiant Air

    Flew on them to Destin from Houston for $35 no complaints. They were the one carrier to still sell booze on the planes when everyone else stopped during covid. The flight attendant didn't cut off my buddies and let them buy 6 drinks. It wasn't cheap for my buddies (the booze) but they got what they wanted.
  22. I don't think it's specifically tied to it. I think it finally gave them the excuse to do it and it gives other countries the excuse to do it. But I do not believe should give into Putin on any level and we should make him pay for every step he takes.
  23. Yes but this only compounds it further and will make it worse in the future when we print more money.
  24. I think you need to realize no one in the CR understands how the USD functions as a reserve currency or why this matters. I agree with everything you are saying and think you are right. I work in crude oil trading and as soon as all of these things happened we knew there would be ramifications like this that the general public does not understand. I think this was a very short sighted move by the current admin for brownie points and we will see the ramifications for years to come. For the those of you who are about to neg me, your dollar is going to lose value over time as a direct result of this and you should care.
  25. Yes I don't think DTS wanted to spend the money on their camera crew for every race unlike previous times.
