Austin is among the cities where expense report be damned I will be downtown (see also, NO, Nashville, SD) Another trick of the trade is to tell the hotel you are working with "big local company" and would like their rate. Tell the hotel you are a subcontractor with "big local company...

I am in the same boat, I knock close to about 100 nights a year. I am a Hilton guy first, just because I like the variety of their properties (Homewood, Embassy, Hilton, Waldorf, Garden Inn, Hampton, Doubletree, etc). My back up is usually to use hotels.com if I have to stay at one place and it is n...

It has been confirmed the grill will be making the trip. We will not get into town in time on Thursday to fire up but will give it a shot Friday evening and see how it goes. If there are no problems then we will try again on Saturday. If you want to throw something on it won't be a problem just make...

Also if you plan on sleeping before approx 5am at the dazed bring earplugs. The party doesn't end because the shows did.

I have considered bringing a grill a few years. I might try this year and see what happens. Grill and corn hole sounds like a winner.

So let me get this straight, the teams from the two states who have legalized pot make it to the super bowl. I guess that whole unmotivated scare-tactic doesn't hold water.

Hey everyone... I am "new"-ish in that I joined a while back but just never got rolling on being a poster. Only board I ever got semi-regular into was Backstreets, but I eventually soured. I have lurked from time to time. I'm a huge DBT fan. It's hard for me to pinpoint exactly when that ...

Wow that's awesome. Thanks for sharing. That's a lot more DBT songs than I have seen him do in solo shows. Not saying a good or bad thing just making an observation.

Probably going to hit this on Saturday. Anyone else in?

Originally from wisky. In the south now and the only think I took with me from the north is my love of the crew.

I will be ready for more trivia in a few weeks Bill!!

PSU to introduce Vanderbilt coach James Franklin as its new head coach tomorrow. I don't know much about him other than that he's 41 and grew up in a Philly suburb, and that he's apparently done a good job at Vandy. I've heard something about a rape scandal cover up, which makes it seem like an odd...

Speaking of the HOF, they are already talking about the candidates for next year and the closest thing baseball has to the devil himself is up for election next year. That is Gary Sheffield. My all time biggest POS in any sport of all time. I will personally lead the campaign to make sure he does no...

My guess without looking at the pitcher is Bob Gibson. Meet Clark, the new Cubs mascot: http://www.trbimg.com/img-52d45b8e/turbine/chi-chicago-cubs-mascot-clark-20140113-001/532 Why in the hell is his hat on backwards? Wow , I mean it will help merch sales which is one thing the Cubs do very well.

Bottle Rockets in Newton NJ on 2/1. Lived here 37 years and have never heard of Newton but a good reason to go find it. Finally going to get to see Lucero in Sayreville but, they're opening for Dropkick Murphys which, if it was 1996 and Mike was singing it would be a good bill but this new guy adde...

We're down to 1 month, it's coming fast now! We are considering driving down Wednesday afternoon this year. Last year we left in plenty of time, and then hit massive traffic on 85 in Charlotte with construction & ended up getting to Athens around 7. Still plenty of time to check in and get to t...

IN for Athens, Raleigh, probably Richmond. Have hotel booked for NOLA, but cant pull the trigger on tickets yet. Gotta watch flight prices. They are at 500 a piece right now for a normally 200 dollar fare. Probably can work some of the west cost shows into work scheduling, but not sure yet. That Mi...

So this guy goes around trying to get folks to say he and his "baby mama" are skanks then threatens to cut them when they take his bait? Just start a fight and stab someone the old fashioned way. Kids. As for Scotty's story, I cannot compute getting drunk enough for all those hyjinx and t...

The combination of a slow morning, reading FNW's story and knowing the storytelling ability of this crew, I thought maybe we will tell that story about having one too many, just to make FNW feel better. Lets hear em, don't let me be the only one embarrassed. If you want to read mine, here goes. I wa...

Just figured out where I will be prior to the Lucero @ Jewish Mothers show that was just announced Well done sir.

Having seen the boys in both Greenville (2) and Baton Rouge I thought maybe I would get it......obviously still chasing. Tis really the only one I am chasing.

paging walter payton....

Now I can finally start setting up my work calendar for the first months of the year. My employer appreciates this being released

I haven't been there but the reputation of this place in town is pretty terrible. There are also not a lot of chances to see shows here, the only shows I can remember from this past year there were City&Colour and Band of Horses. It is definitely one of the most seldom used concert facilities I ...

New water Liars on Feb 4th

This is what 'Shit shots count' mean to me. years ago i played a lot of foosball (french, not german type) downtown. We would keep the next game slots full of quarters, so we could continue to play until one team would reach 5 and had to win by 2. It would take several 'new' games to reach this sco...

Regarding Franklin, I think whomever gets him is getting a huge get. The shocker to me is that the rumor as to why he didn't get the texas job is because he is too outspoken for the blue bloods in Austin. He is coming from Vandy which is a school that is not going to let the reputations of their ath...
