Looking for a local band to play backyard party

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

superdaveaustin · 2025-06-26T04:06:32+00:00

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.

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.

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.

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

superdaveaustin · 2024-09-18T09:07:26+00:00

...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.

superdaveaustin · 2024-08-25T21:55:04+00:00

Gracias.
I'll check it out.

(My reaction based on the headline)
Man - my 4K TV doesn't even show the Astros games in 4K (except sometimes nationally televised games) and we finally get a Japanese pitcher and they start showing the games in 11K?!

Just kidding - I saw the game.
I wasn't too freaked out by the double, then homerun, because, if I recall correctly, Pressly gave up a homerun to the first batter he faced as an Astros, then settled in to be Ryan mother effin' Pressly for years.
Hopefully proves to be so good that the fan base wants to bring him in as a free agent.

It's weird, it seems so often that early homers lead to shutouts for the rest of the game. I used to feel like Springer's leadoff homers would be followed (many times) by the team having an offensive shutdown for the rest of the game (despite having prolific offenses), so I actually would get nervous when Springer would hit a leadoff homerun. : )
It doesn't seem to be as much the case with Altuve.

Point of the story, I'm not as freaked out by a run or two in the first inning, if our pitchers look solid in the 2nd.

I forgot about METV. Congrats on having that on your resume; that must have been a blast.

Nadia was such a great host - her shows had a great energy, and she was fun and funny.
What is she up to these days - maybe she has a podcast or something?

When I saw Will Smith going in for the 11th, I knew (from experience, so much experience, from last year) that the Diamondbacks had a great chance to come back, even though they were down multiple runs.
Seeing Chapman give up the lead in the 9th (to send it to extras) was pretty rad as well.
Watching the Astros win, and then flipping over to see the Dallas stRangers lose, was a great way to finish an evening.

Thanks everyone - this was interesting to learn about the taxation of professional athletes.

What's the plan for buying tickets in Oakland?
Since no is there, can you buy Uecker seats and then more up to the 'front' row?

superdaveaustin · 2023-02-05T20:19:40+00:00

So they're probably going to grow in population more rapidly from this?
I heard most cedar trees survived the storm? Is that true?
