Man, if there wasn't an out of control plague that is ravaging my city and state, I might riot or something about how my government is deliberately stoking an out of control a plague that is ravaging my city and state. What a pickle.

I saw Luke Wilson at that open air bar place downtown where they used to do a huge karaoke thing, this woulda been 15 years ago or something. It had a swingers type name like Caddilacs, I can't remember. Also, Alex Jones in a convenience store.

You young Badgers get off my drat lawn. I saw Stevie Ray and his whole family at an Austin restaurant, back in the day. My most memorable celeb meet was Robin Williams at a bar called Fat Dogs that used to be across from the Texas Tech football stadium in Lubbock. He was there drinking beer and telling stories after a concert on campus.

zoux posted:Yeah this is what I mean when I say the big marquee bills that get all the press often aren't as important as little boring ones. DV gun violence is a massive problem, probably the number one gun homicide cause, and combating that is a worthy and effective goal. I didn't read one word about this bill all session. To be fair, that was on purpose because it had a target on its back and it wouldn't have even made it to the governor if Rs in the House had known it was about NICS and not just a boring paperwork bill. It's like Howard's gun safety storage rider stuck into the budget in 2019 - the NRA will kill anything done out in the open.

I saw Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow at Mozarts in 2005 or 2006 or some time that I was living in Austin when it was cool instead of stupid and lame like it is now.

Oh no they demolished the siloes, what was that land being used for before being turned into a church?quote:After operating as a grain elevator for decades, the site was most recently a boat and RV storage lot. Hmm can't really say we lost very much here.

I rarely go anywhere so I have almost no brushes with celebrity, but I did see Ann Richards at the Dobie Theater sometime around 1992.

Theyre only demolishing some of the silos that are structurally unsound. Don't worry. They're keeping the rest to paint the name of the church on

Really early though https://twitter.com/NHC_Atlantic/status/1430497401807294467 Living on the Gulf for over a decade now, and I think the best thing you can do is be prepared all hurricane season to bolt, but then don't spend time worrying about storms that are over a week away.
