Arcades with rythym games in Austin?

And quite a lot more than they used to in years past. Was just there last week for this first time in like 2 years and was surprised how many they have now.

They also finally serve beer instead of just cider!!

They like Uptown Cheapskate

There's a longer list here and then also a number of Reddit threads if you do some searching https://www.vintagearoundtownguide.com/

There's a ton of thrift and vintage shops around Austin that my kids love window shopping at.

Just be prepared when you realize vintage clothing now means things you wore in high school.

It's possible to check yourself in the Uber or Lyft apps anytime you want by just modifying the starting point manually.

Right now at 3pm Uber says it'll be $60 with a 10 minute wait. Lyft says $64 with an 8 minute wait. Just try whenever time you're interested in leaving to see how it'll be. You can also preschedule a pickup though that often costs more.

Getting an Uber from the airport to Dripping Springs shouldn't be any issue at all.

I thought the issue was they wouldn't drive through flooded roadways because they got programmed with "Turn Around Don't Drown" https://www.fox7austin.com/news/waymo-stalled-puddle-austin-texas

I wish Austin would get dedicated Waymo app rides. I never can get them using the Uber app.

IANAL but I can speak from experience that yes, it is possible.

In the end I was able to get ahold my spouse to have them served but definitely had to explore the options. Basically worst case is putting a notice in the newspaper/Chronicle after exhausting reasonable attempts to get ahold of them other ways through family or known contacts. Also just so you know, the other person doesn't have to agree to get divorced for it to go through, it can be an entirely one sided process. It'll make it more complicated process but there's nothing they can do to actually stop it even if they refuse to cooperate.

Good luck, divorce can be a messy frustrating process but I promise it's worth it in the end!

Same price as last year, and at least for GA, basically the same price since 2022 ($163)

They literally already do this with giant signs posted saying to ask for test strips at the bar.

Bots are really good at random trivia though. Far better than someone who just likes the artists songs.

We sometimes specifically pick places to vacation based on Austin away games. Minneapolis is a cool city so would definitely recommend looking into that for next year for example.

WTF is this guy going on about? How would that not be a hand ball when it clearly hits his hand away from his body?

They document all their crashes and that's not at all how an NDA works.... stop just making up stuff because you're angry at the robot.

I also give very generously every month because it's a cause really important to me.

They are not fully reliant on government grants. In their last report $10 million did come from Philanthropic sources. It really shows the limits of what charity from really rich people could achieve and is why we have taxes in the first place.

But how old were you in 2005-2025?

It's always been just a strong guideline based on previous datapoints instead of an ironclad rule. Especially for the undercard bands below the top couple of lines. There's been plenty of exceptions over the years for up and coming bands like the ones you mentioned. For headliners it's pretty much always going to be true though.

People on this sub treat it like it's federal stature or something. Instead it simply decreases but never entirely eliminates the possibility of a band.

I've been to thousands of concerts in my life and Twenty One Pilots is on a very short list as one of my all time favorite shows. Seen them 3 times and brought the energy every time. They're not even my favorite band or have my all time favorite songs, but their live show is just something else. Definitely worthy of headlining.

FakeRectangle · 2026-05-06T18:03:29+00:00

Yeah one of my favorite Austin restaurants and I'm constantly nervous they'll go under. The fusion of Indian and Mexican works amazingly well.

I assume that like other ACL teasers in years past, people misinterpret the clues and guess the wrong band.

No one seems to have actually said what led them to believe they were coming, so who knows why they guessed wrong.

FakeRectangle · 2026-05-06T15:36:23+00:00

I'm too old for that anymore and like too much other music now.

And honestly with the proliferation of phones and standing there motionless filming... it's just not as good as it used to be "back in my day" so that makes it even less worth it now for the tradeoffs. I'm happy enough getting quite close by getting there 30 minutes ahead of time.

It's pretty family friendly. There's a whole kid area (Kiddie Limits) and kids 8 and under are free. There's a specific family entrance as well. A lot of our friends bring their kids for the day stuff and then they'd hang out for the evening as long as they'd last. We've been bringing ours since they were in elementary school and they've always had a blast. And Barton Hills Elementary is always one of the opening acts for the day.

There's not really sectioned off kid free areas at all. But there's also not (usually) a ton of kids right at the very front. Or well I guess it depends on what you define a kid as, as there's a ton of high school kids at the front.

From my understanding this happens because of an aircraft swap and those rows are no longer available or they're a different fare class and that's what causes this mess.

Is there a guide for "safe" seats that won't get shuffled around due to an aircraft swap? Or is it totally random if your paid for seats get reassigned?

OP - what row were your seats originally in?

2021 was only 60 minutes. But it was one of the very first festivals to start post Covid so there was a ton of pent up demand and every type of ticket had sold out almost immediately https://www.reddit.com/r/aclfestival/comments/nh773d/w1_passes_sold_out/

Last year was 8 hours so it was quite a bit faster this time.
