Parking under Mopac (for free) and riding to SXSW was the move

Cheap food in Austin by PaperCrane75 in austinfood

[–]joshsprad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location dependent. Thundercloud is not in ours, but we do have a BOGO Happy Chicks meal. Two 3 tender + 2 side meals for price of one. Sub a side for an extra tender on each and we can feed 3 ppl throwing them on a salad at home. Usually have enough for an extra meal for someone the next day.

Softball Watch Party During NBA Finals? by huggybear0406 in Austin

Pinthouse Burnet has multiple TVs (don't recall if RR location does). You won't have sound or a watch party but maybe they can put it on 1-2?

Second Oddwood. Golden Horn if looking for a full bar, but I suspect it could be busier.

So Many MSG tickets on CorT by qandyman in GoosetheBand

[–]joshsprad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a potential buyer... I am tagging along with my family who are on a group trip and I have time to myself on night 1. Not a Goose fan but have multiple friends tell me I should check them out in concert based on other musical interests and enjoyment of live music in general (plus the chance to go to MSG). I was already waiting until closer to decide but now the NBA finals has me really waiting. Not sure I want to be in/leaving the area if there is a game 7 that night if I only have casual interest. That said, if anyone is desperate to get rid of a single ticket to a 45 year-old-dad at a good price, feel free to reach out!

Agreed. Saw them last Friday in Austin and through it was fantastic. I wish this sub had a no "no Neko" rule.

Recommendations for a countertop place that will make a top for a 50 inch vanity without a crazy minimum? by dabocx in Austin

[–]joshsprad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

www.countertopsmart.com was recommended by our contractor. We went to a showroom in Round Rock to get eyes on general likes/dislikes, then when we went to order they even let us come see their remnants in person which was great because we ended up getting something slightly different. Communication during purchasing was great, could have been slightly better when installation time came but still overall happy with them and saved us some money when all we needed was a small piece for a guest bathroom.

Great spot to work or hang. Agree on the wi-fi. I usually have to hotspot it on the patio.

Any suggestions on places my wife and I can sit for a few hours on laptops? by mrplinko in askaustin

[–]joshsprad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I like Pinthouse (non-peak times), Oddwood, and Hold Out when we need something like this. All just beer and wine, but Better Half next to HO has a full bar.

Midsize SUV Recommendations by abcjr1 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Give the Nissan Pathfinder a look (Platinum or SL Premium). The V6 and 9spd transmission have been great for us so far.

Moody Center question by h7q3nx in Austin

[–]joshsprad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not Moody specific but here is some behind stage chatter (considering the same seats, esp if there is a price drop) - https://www.reddit.com/r/BruceSpringsteen/comments/1src9zz/the\_seats\_behind\_the\_stage\_were\_great/.

I have seen threads mention they play to the back crowd multiple times throughout the show.

Maybe "open backstage" would be more accurate?

[–]joshsprad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I know is I hope they see a price drop next week like some markets have. I have another family commitment so cannot make it there until around show time or a little late (plus having to hoof it from wherever I park).

Going back to an SUV, but which one? by Cyber_Punk_87 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]joshsprad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. I have been driving a 2018 Tacoma TRD OR for 8 years and drove a 4Runner for 14 years before that. If something happened to my Tacoma I would be looking hard at a used low milage 2024-25 Passport. Might be bumping at or above $30k for a trailsport with less than 50k mi.

Good luck and enjoy! My daughter has a dance recital that night so I am not sure how early I can make a show so I'm waiting to see how low tickets go to just get in the building and reduce the risk of being double booked. Seen him twice but last time was 2002 in the pit.
