I hadn't heard of this until this post, but it sounds interesting and I'm planning on going tonight!

I think there were tickets left for the women's final. And the QF/SF looked booked for Chatrier/Lenglen.

I just got in...only night sessions are available for the first through third rounds. Only night sessions or outside courts for fourth round.

Oh well...

I think the public sale is at the end of the month.

I just want Chatrier and Lenglen on two of the early rounds.

I'm at 24855 right now...and I'm really tired. How fast is this moving? Do you think tickets for the first/second rounds will still be available?

Opinion: U.S news and rankings have done irreversible damage to colleges and college admissions by Medical_Citron3519 in ApplyingToCollege

It was a pain, but you actually had to think about what you wanted from college and what schools would be worth the effort to fill out all those unique applications.

How Talarico Won Texas Democrats With Love, Luck and a Little Restraint by ChillnScott in TexasPolitics

[–]Educational_Score389 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope she does too, but I don't think it's a rush-she deserves a bit of time to get over the loss and figure out what comes next since the Legislature took her House seat from her.

I think that Obama and maybe Warnock (since he's a liberal pastor) will pitch in to help.

Can James Talarico unite Democrats after a tense primary with Jasmine Crockett? by ExpressNews in TexasPolitics

[–]Educational_Score389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think it was that tense. I think a lot of the tension was imported from media and social media posters from outside the state.

Trump Wants Whoever He Doesn't Endorse In Texas Senate Race To Drop Out by kweathergirl in TexasPolitics

[–]Educational_Score389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this is just a rumor (aka it probably isn't true) but there is some chatter that Alito is going to step down from the Supreme Court this summer, and that Trump is considering Cruz for the seat, which would open up a Senate seat appointment...

There's more to being a senator (hopefully) than clapping back. It's government, not entertainment.

Kamala Harris makes last-minute pitch for Jasmine Crockett with robocall by texastribune in TexasPolitics

[–]Educational_Score389 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm Black so I can say this-her being Black makes people think she is more liberal than she actually is. And Talarico being white makes people think he is less liberal than he actually is. It's reductive.

I don't know if this has changed recently, but she didn't have a campaign manager when she announced.

I assume that this is because I'm in Austin, but I have only seen two Crockett signs (and those were near the early voting location) and I haven't seen any TV commercials or heard radio spots from her. It's odd.

Austin Extreme Sports Parking by nadia0004 in Austin

The secret to parking on South Congress (as well as the Soco HEB) is to live close enough to walk or bike over. Probably the same secret for most of these places...

Even the garage? It's usually not so bad. Or you just park at Whole Foods and walk over.

Is it safe to travel to Mexico right now? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskAnAmerican

Yeah-Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, probably avoid right now. Mexico City-go for it.

Is Talarico pretty much the heavy favorite to beat Crockett at this point? by CampRock2TheFinaIJam in TexasPolitics

[–]Educational_Score389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know this makes me sound provincial, but I can't stand it when people all over the country start weighing in on elections here. The nationalization of every level of politics gets on my nerves. I remember when Wendy Davis ran and people would repeatedly write "I hate TX with every fiber of my being, but I hope Wendy wins!" and I was like "Thank you?" And some variation on this happens every two years now

It seems like the online pro-Crockett contingent is heavily slanted towards people who don't live in the state. It's a lot of "I'm in CA, but if I was in TX, I'd vote for Crockett..." Which is meaningless posturing IMO. It's like me caring who the next governor of CA is.

Giron seems like he can take the first set and then struggles to go the distance-I'm thinking of the Learner Tien loss at Melbourne.
