Did you stay at the Radisson right there at the river? I'd totally do Stubbs from there, but EoE seems like a long ass way!

Did you make it to Antones? For reasonably price used records, it's my favorite store. EOE is nice too, but they also know what they have and charge it. But that's the case with most austin record stores. The guy who runs EOE is a nice guy though, I've know him since he first opened 33 degrees as a tiny shop.

Also had to chuckle at the people I talked to's definition of "walkable".
hahaha, come back in August or September and try walking from Town Lake to End of an Ear.... that's what, about a mile and a half? You'll walk into End of an Ear and keel over from heat exhaustion.

Haha, I'll admit that I was sweating my ass off when I was done, but it wasn't horrible. I totally would feel differently if it was 105 vs 80, yes. I stayed at the Embassy suites.

Heading back down later today, but unfortunately its a quick trip for work. Hoping to get some time over at Waterloo, but not looking likely.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 11 October 2011 13:22 (twelve years ago) link
Austin, you have such a great city. Spent too much money at Waterloo the other night and also had a great dinner at Frank and met some great dudes that work there.

hahaha, I've been here for like 15 years and I still love an evening of dinner + waterloo. end of an ear also essential, but lacking in high school associations.
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 14:21 (twelve years ago) link
I went to End of an Ear last trip, but I wanted to wander around downtown and Waterloo was more conducive to that.

Who on here is living in the Austin area these days? Do we have enough folks for some type of meet up?

who else is living down here? we're just about to tip over the edge and ride down screaming into cruel summer. already hitting the low 90s.

I'll probably me making what will sadly be my last trip down there for this work project in early to mid June.

I need a place to go to dinner with parents in saturday night... Request us for something "farm to table." Any suggestions?
― tehresa, Thursday, 10 May 2012 17:31 (twelve years ago) link
Monument Cafe in Georgetown comes to mind, bit of a drive though
― Moodles, Thursday, 10 May 2012 17:34 (twelve years ago) link
The East Side Showroom on e. 6th is a really good "farm to table" place.
― art hums, Thursday, 10 May 2012 21:38 (twelve years ago) link
Kind of disappointed that my trip down there in two weeks will mark the end of my work trips to Austin. I've always enjoyed being there.

If anybody would be up for a Monday or Tuesday night thing, sure. I'll be there the 18th and 19th.

I'll be in back in Austin thursday!

I wish I was feeling better. I'd come down from Dallas but you all don't need my respiratory death virus.

No, but, shit, I'd love to meet an EZ. Feel better.

One day Jon. I've never been to Chicago so maybe a vacation will take me North. If you come to Dallas give me a holler.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
Definitely.

Is any thread talking about what is going on down there right now? Was anyone there for SXSW? This is kind of the scariest thing of its kind since the DC area sniper.

I've been to that FedEx in Sunset Valley they're saying the latest two bombs were mailed from. It's got a Mighty Fine right next to it; they have amazing french fries.
