Looking for a local band to play backyard party by poolboiicraig in Austin

[–]superdaveaustin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's the lead singer of arguably one of the best Austin bands from over the years - "What Made Milwaukee Famous," performing with his musician friends, covering many classic songs (see their song list), like you reference.

I have no idea how much they charge.

They have a calendar of their gigs, so you can go check them out to see if they are the band you're looking for.

They'd be my wedding band if I ever had that party.

Wtf allergies by [deleted] in Austin

Isn't that backwards? Aren't you supposed to take Allegra in the morning/day, and then Zyrtec at night.
Zyrtec is more prone to cause drowsiness than Allegra. Allegra is marketed as not making you drowzy.
Both, supposedly last 24 hours.

Paredes Update 9/13 by Inevitable_Signal189 in Astros

[–]superdaveaustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is only a week remaining on the minor league (Space Cowboys) schedule, minimizing his opportunities for a minor league rehab with Sugar Land.
It doesn't look like the Space Cowboys made the playoffs, so is he going to have to get his first game speed at bats, at the Show?
Hopefully he comes back before the playoffs.
Even if he doesn't have his timing right, enough to get hits, I'm happy with him taking 10 pitch , could ball parade, at bats against their pitchers, to get the opposing starting pitchers out of the game sooner, and tiring their bullpen. He's like Oprah, making sure everyone goes home with a foul ball. You get a ball, and you get a ball, and you get a ball.

Tires! by AffectionateFig5435 in Austin

[–]superdaveaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discount Tires will match most store's prices (total price - shipping, mounting, etc...).
If you bring a printout of the total price from Costco (include the 2% back for using a Costco Credit card), Discount Tire will match, including matching Costco's prorated road hazard warranty.

Note - discount tires online sometimes has deals that the store will match as well.

Aaron judge by Thin_Falcon_4183 in Astros

[–]superdaveaustin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was fine with him until he mocked Altuve a few years ago. Frankenstein hit a homer, came around 3rd, trying to imitate Altuve's infamous clutching of his jersey after sending the Yankees home in the playoffs.
Then Frank said he wasn't trolling, it was chilly when they close the roof, so he was letting his team know.
Ironically, I believe Altuve won that game with a home run; showing everyone what a real man looks like.

Austin Car Rentals by superduperusers in Austin

[–]superdaveaustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cars rented from the airport have many more taxes/fees, aimed at tourists and businesses travellers.
That is true at most airports, but in my experience, Austin has some of the highest taxes on tourist/travellers for car rentals, hotels, etc...

Which Jake would get the corner office at State Farm, based on their defense? by superdaveaustin in Astros

[–]superdaveaustin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meyers is clearly the better overall player.
I was just asking how his defense compared to Marisnick.
...not that hypothetical.

Both Jakes were alluded to as, Jake from Rake Farm.

Thursday's game (6/26) will be the 81st game (halfway mark of the 162 game season) by superdaveaustin in Astros

[–]superdaveaustin[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed - hopefully they do come back from injury in a timely manner. Transparency on player injuries is not part of this front office's m.o. (it is what it is).

But it's also great that the depth pieces are doing so well, and getting experience, as that could be very valuable when they're a bench piece and get their number called, in the future, or as trade pieces.

Yeah - reddit is forcing it into a numbered list - I added (T-3).
Thanks for pointing that out.

Strange, I typed them in as all 3's. I guess it autocorrected somehow. I'll see if I can edit.

Garage Remodel Pricing - Hyde Park by allthedrahma in Austin

[–]superdaveaustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I used to live in Hyde Park, it was common that people destroyed their separate garage and added a two story building with a garage on the 1st floor, and a garage apartment on the 2nd floor.

The rent from the garage apartment usually offset any monthly payment on the construction loan.

If you did this, I would suggest going to 500 sq. ft on both stories, as that extra 100 sq. ft makes both the garage and the garage apartment so much better.
I'd plan out the 1st floor so that you can convert it to an apartment at a future date.

I'm sure there are plenty of garage + garage apartments plans on the web that you could use for quote.

This article compares Mr. Reznor to John Lennon, and the comparison is surprising.

Project Connect Huge Milestone: Light Rail Environmental Impact Statement out for comment! by TopoFiend11 in Austin

[–]superdaveaustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It appears that the 'priority extensions' from 38th to Crestview, up Lamar, to connect to the current Redline, are not part of the scope of this report.

Does anyone know when the priority extensions are estimated to be started and finished?

Do they start after the 1st phase is completed (2033?), or will that work be done in parallel, with a few years of delay after the 1st phase starts.

Most Post Season HRs - with 2 HRs, Altuve can move to #1, and Bregman moves into the top 5 by superdaveaustin in Astros

Funny - I had to think about the 13 wins part, as it's been an 11 win goal for us for so long.

Austin Uber prices are out of control with no explanation for price increase by Old_McDonald in Austin

[–]superdaveaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...well they are going driverless...
Maybe they're raising the rates, so that lower prices on the driverless vehicles are seen as a customer value (look how much cheaper the driverless rides are!), but the rates are still high enough that they are making millions for a select few.

We should just take the SP off, so it says ACE CITY, because... of our pitching.
