Maudie’s. Not awful of course, but certainly overrated.
P Terry’s. -
Probably doesn't also help that much of the longhorn gear is atrocious these days. Dropping Brand 47 was a mistake too (but I guess that is on UT actually).

I saw Smashing Pumpkins, Blind Melon, Rev Horton Heat and others there in 1994. How frequent were shows there? At the time, I thought it was something that was really sporadic.
I was at that show. My older brother was a sophomore at Texas and my girlfriend and younger drove up with me from Houston to go to that concert (all of us in high school still). On the way back to my brother’s place in west campus I ran the light at 24th and San Antonio. Cop pulls me over and another shows up. They yank me out of the car because I had this piece of wood under my seat that they said was a concealed weapon. After trying to scare the shit out of me they gave me a ticket for the traffic light, took the beater and left. Assholes.
When I was at UT from 95-99 we saw Rage Against the Machine there with the Roots. We also went to one of the Warp Tours. Hot as fuck that day.

The devil sounds pretty chill though.
Well, he probably didn’t ask anyone to cut parts of their dicks off. -
lol Never gets old.
Neither does banging your mom. -
The idea God needs you to submit to and worship him is a very human narcissistic character flaw. If there’s a heaven, surely God is above such nonsense.
I’ll say it, he sounds like a major asshole. He, an omniscient being, allegedly makes imperfect creatures who break his bullshit rules, which he must have known would happen. Then they are told if they constantly suck his three headed cock, they will get into this magical place and live happily ever after.
Sure.

Having spent 10 years in O&G and now in large construction, I can tell you there was a shitload of cost controllers/project controllers etc that were not accountants. Ymmv of course, but a business degree in finance, accounting (of course) and even general was common. Having enough sense to know the core business and what we do is nearly as important.
I am project controls. I have two degrees from Texas...wait for it...RTF and History. Lulz. This is my second career and have been doing it for 10 years. I feel for that amount of time I am making a pretty decent living, although I am not overly ambitious (happy to just be a lead and not a PCM). In my group currently there are no accountants or engineers. A few with construction management degrees though. I work for a fairly large EPc (yes, small c) firm with offices all over the world.
More on topic, the accountants on our job, and at the company in general, seem to have it relatively stress free (especially compared to us in project controls/management). We used to work 4-10s (FUCK I MISS THAT), but now 9/80. I don’t know how they are paid, but they seem to be doing alright. -
I got 86,000 miles on my last set of Michelins. It started to get a little unsettling the last week they were on my truck. I had no idea I had put that many miles on them until the Discount Tire guy started laughing when I asked how much I put on them and he looked it up. 86k on 70k tires. Nice!
Yep. Always Michelins. Always.-

Fuck that. Foo Fighters are on the same level of Nickelback. Spare, generic band that cranks out simplistic songs for the radio.
Yep, the chubby chaser is right. Slight hyperbole, but pretty much.Eric Clapton agrees. Eric Johnson, not so much. In context of grunge, though, I gotta agree 1000%. Nirvana wasn't great because of talent, but they were great.
Agree on your take on Nirvana. Eric Clapton is so fucking boring and overrated though. He should have put the guitar down in 1971.
*The Big Lebowski is the most overrated movie ever.
*we cant get negged for posting in this thread, right?
Yes, this is an unpopular and just wrong opinion. -
What about a small town on a Hawaiian island?
Only if a 2005 corvette is included in the relocation package.-

Holy shit...just finding out about this band out of Seattle called Helms Alee. Wow, I am really digging their stuff. And since I am late to the game, there is a lot to listen to. Unfortunately, I can’t find a few of my favorite tracks on YouTube to post, but their bandcamp has them all. I suggest tracks 8 and 11 off their latest “Stillicide”.

Here is one from another album:

I was thinking someplace like Kerrville would be nice. Smallish, but has amenities like good grocery stores and movie theater. Not a bad drive to Austin for games, nor that far to an airport in San Antonio. But I am sure a lot of folks that grew up there hate it. Maybe Uvalde?

Love me some el rancho. Go to Maudie’s instead.
Ive never understood the hype for Maudie’s. It seems like your average Tex mex joint that’s all cleaned up and presentable. Enchiladas y Más or death. -
-
Yeah, I could. Would love too. Hill country or trans pecos. Wife wouldn’t go for it though.

Saw Sleep @ The Waiting Room in Omaha on Saturday night.
Set list;
1.Dopesmoker
2. Holy Mountain
3. The Clarity
4. Dragonaout
5. From Beyond
6. Cultivator/Improved Morris
Was fucking fantastic. Before they take the stage they start with like 15 minutes of radio chatter from the Apollo 11 mission culminating with "the eagle has landed" and then Matt Pike started in on Dopesmoker. So good...
That sounds bad ass. Too bad they aren’t coming through Houston (or maybe I missed it). Looks like Melvin’s will be here in May.
The Whores show was awesome. Turned me onto this band from KC called Bummer. Really digging their stuff. Kind of remind me of KARP.
I took a few photos that I posted in the photography thread in “hobbies”.

I logged in earlier just for giggles and felt like Swayze creeping through an abandoned building.

Go try the new and improved PCBBQ and tell us what you think
A friend of mine stopped by. Said it was good, but not like the day the group of us (with Ldogg) stopped by the old place. I will check it out though and let you know. -
Tried Killen's yesterday for the first time. I live in NW Houston, so Pearland is a trek. I apologize for the crappy photo. There is more food there than it appears. Plus I had some bread putting (pretty meh). Anyways, brisket was very good. Sausage was ok. Decent spice, but casing was pretty tough. I don't see going back as there are a few places that are as good or better that are much closer to me. If I lived down that way, I would probably be eating there fairly often.

Willow is putting out solid product, you should definitely go see him. And tell him I sent you
Bullshit Champ, don’t steal my thunder!
Overrated Austin restaurants?

Yeah, I think Via 313 gets the appropriate amount of hype. Delicious.
