    My copy of Bill was shipped last week.
  3. I normally drive to AT&T. The masses exit from 30 on the north side of the stadium so it’s a bottleneck. I live far north Dallas and take George Bush there. I pass 30 and come in from the south side and park in lot 13. My phone notes: Take George Bush tollway south/west Go past I-30 exit E Division St turn right and go west about 3 miles turn right on AT&T Way Section 13 is on right (past section 14) I live in Dallas so I can’t recommend any hotels near the stadium. That being said, Arlington lacks… umm… charm. To put it nicely.
  4. I found this to be an integral part of the storyline. Just kidding. Kinda. The inquiry room sex was pretty important to show the wife’s loyalty to oppe.
  5. I’m with you on the background music. At times, it drowned out the actors’ lines. I got to the point where it was like a laugh track for me; all I heard was the heavy-handed background music rather than the lines. I’ll likely watch it again on netflix or whatever streaming service shows it with subtitles. The beginning of the film seemed to chop off the actors’ line delivery between oppenheimer and his wife/girlfriend/whatever. No nuance for the actors’ delivery or response. I don’t understand the great reviews.
  6. I think there’s a lot of great new music. I asked my Gen Z kid what his all time fav song was. Sabotage. Beastie Boys.
  7. Houndmouth doing three nights at Antoine’s on Nov 30, Dec 1 and 2. Will need to con my wife into an Austin weekend to catch a show or two.
  8. I have tix for the toadies in plano on sat night but I may have to skip it. I’ve been traveling M-F each week for work the past four weeks, and it’s time to spend some time with the wife.
  9. Got my eye on that one as well
  10. Existential crisis initiated
  11. Demonstrating her ability to add 1+ 3 whilst sitting in a handicart. LOL.
  12. I don’t know any of their songs. I haven’t listened to radio since around 2005; I only listened to alternative rock stations before that. I know nothing of the chicks audience. I was shocked and looked around the audience with disbelief and judgement when so many people were singing along to four non blondes before the chicks’ set. Why would they play that horribad song between blondie, benatar and joan jett? I get the female empowerment thing but that song is a 90’s embarrassment.
  13. Oh. So you were the other guy at the show.
  14. Wife and I are doing the chicks Fri night in Tulsa
  15. Anyone finding inconsistent dying with tecovas? I’ve been to the austin and new dallas store at northpark, and tried on two different styles of boots. Both had dye issues. I thought there might be a difference with the online orders. Apparently not. I just received a pair I ordered online and the dye is inconsistent. This year, I’ve bought 1 pair of Rod Patricks, Cueros, Rios, Chisos, and 2 pairs of Heritages in a variety of skins. Only Tecovas have the glaring dye issue. I’m disappointed because I like them but the dye issue is a non-starter.

  17. Mt Joy announced a show in Dallas on Fri, Oct 13 at Toyota music factory. Tix on sale tomorrow; pre-sale happening now. Anyone got the pre-sale code?
  18. My standing recommendation for Athens is to go to the restaurant at the top of Mount Lycabettus for drinks or dinner at sunset. Get a table on the patio and watch as the sun sets over Athens. You’ll see the aegean sea drift slowly away as the acropolis lights up. Your nighttime view is this.

  21. Just got a copy of East River Pipe’s Poor Fricky from a seller on discogs in japan. ERP is a one man show. He records out of his brooklyn apartment, never plays live gigs, works at home depot, and records beautiful depressing songs.
  22. Revolver Brewing getting out ahead of this
