On and off for about 10 years.

media archivists have their own password to the VIP lounge but i am NOT TELLING

Matty P. I'm here so we should hang. Plus I can tell you who to schmooze at the conference.

It's total cliche, but jump in a barton spring.

kjb does your webmail work, i sent u one.

btw matt i have not received u mails

I got it Matt. Wed. and most likely Sat. are out. But all other evenings are in. I'll text you.

Matt P rocks! And how did I not know about Lulu's before this year? The sense of relief (and slight mischief) one gets from all that illegal smoking reminds me of Fahrenheit 451.

Do you mean La-las?

Um, OOPS! Yes, I mean Lala's. Thanx.

If you were there Friday, we FAPPED without knowing it.

gross

I'm really sorry I wasn't able to give you a ring this weekend Matt, issues with my roommate kinda got in the way unexpectedly + an old bro suddenly needed breakup consolation on the day I'd set aside for fappage. Will you be swinging back this way anytime soon?

Oilyrags, ha! We were there Friday 10 to 1:30ish.

And what's gross, hoos?

Near(ish) miss, then. My party arrived after work and rolled out ~9.

I was jokingly suggesting that "we FAPPED without knowing it" was a kind of sexual euphemism.

I'd love to meet up with some Austin folks if y'all go out for beerz again.

I'd always wondered if there were enough Austin ilxors to make an actual fap an occassional thing. There's me & Oily & KJB & "ilxor" & Ms Misery iirc. Are you a permanent local kijiji? I'll pretty much take any excuse to down a few beers with new friends.

Yep, moved here in feb., tho I live semi-far n off wells branch. Have been going to shows but not too many bars. Also have a 3 mo. old son so free time is @ a premium. But weekends usually work!

my band is playing there in february, @ shangri-la. salt lick here i come!

weekend after this one, feb 13 - 14. any tips on on stuff to do or hot shows (we have an early show on saturday, so we'll be able to hang out that night) would be welcome.

Sir Lord Baltimore is on the jukebox at The Parlor on Guadalupe.

Just sayin'.

hi guys, i will be in austin later this week. i will mainly be working and i have to keep an eye on my sleep schedule because i'm observing during the night the following week. so i probably won't be doing anything fun at all EXCEPT...

where is the best place to watch the england - usa match on saturday? i'm getting confused about time zones, but i think kickoff will be at 1.30 texas time. i think am staying a couple of blocks east of guadalupe at ~22nd, so somewhere walking distance from there would be good. but if the place where everyone will be is, e.g. down on 6th or something then i don't mind getting a cab. i want to go somewhere i can drink too much and where other people will be watching the game. i'm guessing getting a seat won't be difficult for a football match at this time of day in texas, but lemme know if that might be an issue.

hi caeky i can't be of much help but these people seem to have some ideas

thanks! this is great. cuatro's is near me, so that will probably be fine. all i had found was this. fado's looked like every other american irish pub, so i was hoping to avoid that.

yeah fado's is a chain too, BLECH to them

caek--you also may want to check out Dog & Duck Pub (Guadalupe & 17th) or Crown & Anchor Pub (San Jacinto & 30th. Both are fairly close to your location.

i am now at my location! it is hot! my taxi driver was 1/8 cherokee!

and he did not like the english (1/8 dutch so he sides with the boer on the whole south africa thing -- no joke, that is his reason)

Dudes, going to Austin for work May 15th-17th. Not sure how much downtime I'm going to have, its a pretty quick trip for work stuff, but what should I make a priority to hit? Record shops? Food?

Go to Antoines Records, Friends of Sound off south congress, backspin off Airport, and End Of and Ear of south first, all great record stores.

Nice, thanks!

What kind of food do you like? Are you going to be mobile or mostly in one part of town?

If you don't mind spending a little money on food and want a really nice cocktail, Haddingtons off 6th st has the best burger I have had. Seriously it's worth the money.

I'm pretty open as far as food suggestions, but I'm feeling the craving for some good barbecue while I'm there. I'll be pretty stationary, the hotel I'm staying in downtown is where I'll be for work too.

If you take the number one bus which you can catch on congress, till 29th and guadalupe, Ruby's BBQ is right there on the corner. I think they have the best brisket in town. And best part is you can walk across the street and shop for records at Antone's afterwards.

i approve of ruby's.

^^^^^^^

you gotta try torchy's tacos

which, conveniently enough, has a location at 28th and Guadalupe.

that it do!!

o lord i miss me some torchys

fun fact about that neighbourhood: the first time i ever heard shine on you crazy diamond pt 1 was in spider house. felt like a very austin moment.
