  1. I've tended to go in the hot summer months and often had the place almost entirely to myself.
  2. Cool, appreciate your insider insights.
  3. Is Meanwhile underrated or is it widely liked? I like it quite a bit, but don't hear many folks outside of this thread talking about it. And Distant Relatives is legit BBQ, really tasty. That's an awesome place to spend a spring afternoon.
  4. One of the drawbacks of the craft beer explosion in the US, is that it's become harder and harder to find import beers here, especially on draught. I used to go to the Dog and Duck or the Gingerman or Maggie Mae's Olde Side and drink the hell out of some Fuller's ESB, or Whitbread, or Young's Oatmeal Stout, or Sam Smith's Taddy Porter. It's not easy to find a lot of that kind of stuff on tap anymore. These days I walk into a bar or tap room that's got 30 taps on the wall, and 20 of them are some version of American IPAs, 4 are various hard ciders, a couple are macro-swill from BudMillerCoors, and there might be one or two that I actually find interesting. It's a travismahockery.
  5. We used to do a Burnet Road dive crawl for a friend of mine every year on his birthday. Buddy's Place, Ginny's Lil Longhorn, Poodle Dog, and Lala's. Originally he rented a bus for all of us, then later we realized we could just take the #3 the whole way. You've never seen folks as confused as the normal bus riders watching thirty or forty late 20s/early 30s pile onto the #3 to ride for 3/4 of a mile. We also tended to overwhelm the regulars at Buddy's Place but after a couple of years they started expecting us. Plus, some of us went there pretty regularly ourselves, anyway.
  6. Oh yeah Waterloo too. Or Cooter's depending on how old your kids were. Or, Monterrey House, way back in the day.
  7. My parents still live in the same house I grew up in, a couple blocks away, over by the skating rink. My dad would gladly share a pregame youth soccer tailgating beer with you, but alas their house isn't close enough to have been a parking destination for you. Pluckers or Trudy's (RIP) wouldn't have been a terrible walk, though. I feel like my usual parking spot at Town & Country was probably about the same distance.
  8. Doss Owls are a weird breed. Makes me even more glad, that I'm a Pillow freaking Panther.
  9. Finally got a little at my place. 0.4" is better than a sharp stick in the eye.
  10. Yeah that's what I assumed you were talking about. I don't like any of them, but the midwest IPAs from founders and bells were at least slightly more balanced than their west coast counterparts.
  11. Maybe Nicole is the pirate captain of that row boat and that's how they dump the bodies.
  12. Bury the power lines in the unused subway tunnels. Problem solved.
  13. Cool! Looking forward to seeing the end product.
  14. Not at my house in NW Travis anyway. Not a single drop.
  15. Hmmmm, maybe they should go dial up DannyRic and give him that seat.
  16. The ability to forecast rain is insignificant next to the power of the Force... Field.
  17. Old Austin died the day before all of you people arrived.
  18. Well, Suzuka is the next race on the Calendar... coincidence???
  19. Don't think my passport is valid all the way down there. Besides, it rains there way too often. Biblical flooding type stuff.
  20. I bought some awesome tailgate/camping chairs from a Pecan Street Festival vendor 25 years ago and they lasted until last year. NOW where the hell am I supposed to go to find replacements????
  21. Central Texas will get nothing and like it.
  22. WTF is wrong with you, I35?
  23. Clearly the solution is right there in front of them-- Bubble Harder!!!
