    new-ish heb in north pflugerville on gattis school road. they have an awesome beer selection, especially for this part of town.

    interesting. the ABV is too high for grocery sales i thought.

  2. small anecdote from last night

    Was at the Decemberists show at Bass and it was pretty full. Colin Meloy was like, why the hell are you guys here and not at the Beto/Willie show? [huge cheers] You probably bought these tickets before that was announced right? [audience laughter] Thanks for honoring your commitment, and they'll try to be half as good as Willie. then they sang some whiskey river. Point being, Beto is visible and relevant as shit, even to those outside of Texas. BTW, Colin Meloy is funny as shit. Good show, but bummed to have missed the Willie/Leon/Beto gig.

  3. Uhmm, ABGB just won GABF large brewpub of the year FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW.

    This is America's best brewery.

    Many other Austin breweries have medaled as well, including ABW, PHP, and NXNW. 

    On my phone at a tailgate so apologies for the brevity w specific awards

  4. Fuck that. New registers are important, but I'm hard pressed to believe that this Beto movement aren't getting NEW MIDTERM VOTERS to the polls. Such as myself, my wife, my parents and siblings ... hell, my whole fuckin block. I sincerely doubt i live within a three block radius of anyone who voted last midterms and its Beto central all over it right now.

  5. The NEXT SMITHS!, as it was sold to me at Tower records in 95/96-ish

     

    Bought everything they had after SXSW in like '99. One-third of it was excellent, excellent stuff. The other 2/3, eh ...

     

    This was one of those $25 imports from Technophilia (1997-ish), but worth it because BAWL were gonna be HUGE once all the best of britpop emerged. This was their only album. I think they did get on the cover of an NME tho.

    Umm, “someone” like Netflix? What the fuck are you talking about? Netflix distributes films and documentaries created by outside production companies as well as creating in house content, and they pay a shitload for it. The reason? it costs money to produce content. Furthermore, Netflix is not owned and operated by aggy boosters. Taylor Hamm talked about Hornsby sitting in on fucking storyboard sessions. That is a fucking service, and Hornsby is getting a benefit from it. And no, you are not a “media company” just because you say you are. If that’s the case, then Surly is a media company and we are all writers and reporters. 

    The reality is, booster owned businesses “donating” the service of conceptualizing, filming, editing, post-producing, color correcting, sound mixing, mastering and uploading videos for high school football players is not some sort of gray area. It is a violation, plain and simple. It is no different than “donating” transportation, or your expertise with test taking, or maybe you want to “donate” your chef skills and in-house pantry to a coveted recruit and provide them with a 4 course meal? Being a media company, that would all be totally cool, right?

    I always maintain that we should have said FUCK THE NCAA and shown whatever content we wanted on the LHN, including, but most especially, HS football games featuring our recruiting targets. We still should.
