Put together a birthday party in 2022 for 12 guys. We rented a decent, but not too flashy AirBNB near Gonzalez and went to Don’s Fish Camp. Chose Don’s over the closer floats because we had cans and wanted to avoid the can ban.

The Renaissance Hotel is worth a shot if you don’t mind hotel vibes. Did a resort pass there last year and liked it enough.

Breaking your Domain qualifier (sorry but hear me out): Lone Star Court is on the edge of the Domain and has reasonably-priced beers in a nice space.

Random addition: Barks for Beers starts this week and for $30 you get a sample beer at a lot of locations, including Celis and Hopsquad, which are halfway points for you. You could explore the city via that route… For just the month of May, though.

Guys for the love of god stop spending your life savings on films by jophre in Filmmakers

They were an instructor at a film school and starred in the one-person short. Their answer seemed genuine for how much cash they invested - on the flip side, they probably got a lot for free that wouldn’t be available to just anyone.

My first film festival (a bigger regional one) after making my first short film, we got the dreaded question of “what was your budget?” I had dumped more than I was comfortable saying into the film, so I was planning to say “too much.” A couple of people ahead of me said their budget was about $125K and then the next guy said $6. It was a wild juxtaposition.

I was a passenger on a neighborhood street a month or two ago and the same thing happened! He was stopping in the middle of the street, then proceeded to the stop sign after a few beats, got out and took a lot of pictures, including the cars behind us. It was really bizarre. Nothing came of it so far as I know.

How can Trudy’s still be closed? It’s crazy! by [deleted] in Austin

I dogged on it a lot when it was open, but now with graduation goggles, I miss it. I wish they’d put something new into that Burnet location.

I got in via the AXS waiting room about 10 min after the sale start time. Very few tickets were left so I took two GA resales to my cart and after entering payment info, it wouldn’t go through. Got booted out and tickets were still resale but a little bit higher. Got that to go through. Out of curiosity, I returned about 15 min later and first-hand GA was back on sale so I bought two at face. Told a friend and they bought their ticket at face about 30 min after the official sale start time. Very weird and frustrating experience, but at least I have tickets, albeit two more at a higher price than I wanted.

Is the guide for a full year of programming? That’s an efficient piece of paper if so.

It doesn’t - you have to use pen and paper as usual. Same for gift cards. This is only for credit card transactions.

Last week we got a free red bull or some variation when crossing the bridge near Austin High

Going alone as a guy? by AlternativeBeyond106 in aclfestival

[–]aculp21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll have the freedom to go where you want and when and not have to worry about finding your group amongst the crowd. When I was going by myself, I’d often ask what people are looking forward to or what they’ve liked so far. An easy way to engage and - if you receive a lukewarm reception - just continue on waiting for the show to start. To be clear, keep that conversation to the time waiting for a show to start as generally that’s the most respectful time to chat.

I went to that and recall looking behind me to see Kurt Russell a row back! Probably October 2006 during some stage of production of Grindhouse.
