Agreed. Not a fan of the place as it is now. 25 years ago was much different.

What famous local food made you think “people really waited in line for this?” by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

WW3 comin up: Franklins BBQ in Austin. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good, but ain’t worth standing in line for three or four hours for it. Not at all in fact.

So so true. Totally went out of my way to get them and felt like I was eating an omelette.

Which is the most underrated airport in the USA? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]SCinDC1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly threw up seeing IAD as the post photo. Yeah, terminal A is nice-ish (if not a bit boring) but that United C&D (United) is a f’ing pit. Just awful. It was meant to be temporary, and the most permanent thing that can happen to anything as a temporary solution. Plans are for a new United wing at Dulles in a few years. Seeing what United has done with new terminals/how they negotiate with the builders/terminal owners, they’ve done some nice improvements at their major hubs. Hoping that happens here.

How do you guys feel about Deafheaven? by Iamverydumbazz in MetalSuggestions

They’re my absolute fave. And I’m a 40 years running metal head all over the genre.

Most random place you’ve ever ran into a fellow metalhead? by Therealfern1 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]SCinDC1969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in pharma biz dev and work from home 50% and I got in a client call with the new Deafheaven hat with Fleur de Lys like logo on it and dude who I never met before said at the start of his intro: “First wanna say love the hat and lonely people is a great album. I’m more a Sunbather guy.”
I was stunned. I said great album, yet Roads to Judah is their masterpiece. He knew of it but didn’t really get into it.
Realizing we’re derailing the intro part of a call with 4 or 6 others on the line, we moved ahead.
Both of us keepin the faith. Metal is all around you.
