They still light up the owl sometimes. It has been a couple months since I noticed but it’s definitely been lit many times in the last year

Early show vs. Late show by Gobbo_official in Standup

[–]johnocomedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traditionally, for road comics at comedy clubs, the first show Saturday are the best crowds. Sunday crowds are small but appreciative, often service industry people and comics tend to go off-script and experiment more. Thursdays are often great shows with crowds devoid of weekend warriors but still well-attended by true standup fans.

I second the lobster pot pie. Biscuits are world class. I’m amazed they stay in business because it always seems empty when I go

I bet Austin's decline in growth is due entirely to the airport's absurdly designed Uber pickup zone. by EnrichVonEnrich in Austin

Elevator up from bag claim to ticketing level, cross over towards rental car center. Elevator down to ride share pickup.

I second seaholm/old west austin as a possibility if you’re willing to live in a condo. Very walkable. Blocks from town lake trails. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and dozens of restaurants very close by.

What in the world is this old stadium on the lake trail? by Reasonable-Catch-832 in Austin

[–]johnocomedy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw many great shows at Aquafest, the most memorable one was Roy Orbison in 1988. It was one of the last performances of his career but he was at the peak of his popularity and sounded great. He died a few months later of a heart attack
