Re: TexASS - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 07-23-2014
Isn't the answer 'Human'?
Re: TexASS - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 07-23-2014
Yup. A really special place.
"Californian" is a good response to that asinine question.
I often go with Tibetan... - Drunk Monk - 07-24-2014
I look Tibetan apparently. Sometimes I say Lankan, because no one knows where Lanka is, and it's a nod to the Ramayana.

I lived in Austin.
Austin is basically San Francisco with a southern twang. It's a liberal paradise of Tex-Mex food, A street they block off on weekends for bar-hopping and The Alamo Drafthouse.
I met The Cure at a barely attended record signing, I saw Big Country, The Talking Heads, Oingo Boingo and many others at tiny venues where you could wak up to the stage, leave to get a beer and walk back without any crowd issues.
We cannot erase Texas if it means losing Austin.

Well, having been to Austin a few times, I'd still take that chance.
I went to Austin with you once, ED - Drunk Monk - 08-11-2014
Now *that* was an epic road trip. Total fear and loathing.
My only memory of Austin was when you introduced me to some old friend of yours and she was really excited because she hadn't seen an Asian in years.
I'm baaaaaaaack - Drunk Monk - 07-22-2016
It's only 102 F. Not bad.
I thought I came last year but I didn't bitch about it here? Odd.

Blocking?
No last year. - Drunk Monk - 07-22-2016
i forgot they skipped last year.
There's a good turnout because it's a World Chin Woo Championship. It was a long way here with a cancelled flight and a delayed replacement flight. I was up at around 4:20 and didn't fly out until almost noon. But victory was had with a ninja brrakfast with the mighty yeti (had I known about the delay, I would have stayed for whisky).
I just closed the bar with Master Grace. She gave me a bag of Garretts cheese & caramel popcorn. She didn't even know what it was. There was a line at the airport stand so she just bought some. It's after 1am and I know if I start eating it, I won't be able to stop, and I should be up in 6 hours...
Maybe just one handful....

The first bag is always free....
RE: TexASS - King Bob - 07-23-2016
Some writer (might have been Kinky Friedman) said that Austin was great but that the problem was that it was surrounded by Texas.
Srsly? - Drunk Monk - 07-23-2016
What photographer uses a sports speed shutter to shoot tai chi? I can imagine Gregs eyeroll...
Popcorn resisted last nigth
Sleepy now - Drunk Monk - 07-23-2016
its hot out. But it's freezing inside cuz the ac is super high. I was looking hungry so Grace started feeding me chocolates and even bought me a veggie burger (a veggie burger? In TexASS?). Now the promoter just brought in a ton of Chinese food. It's either cook or freeze, feast or famine.
A lot of peeps know me here and I haven't a clue who they are. Sometimes the ensuing chat up will jog my memory. Sometimes I just play along.
They are squeezing 10 rings in a space that might hold 6. It's packed.
I wonder if the hotel would kick me out if I napped in this comfy lobby chair...
Back 2 the lobby - Drunk Monk - 07-23-2016
This sofa goes well with the comfy Muzak. There's a journalism convention going on.
Sorry - Drunk Monk - 07-23-2016
I wuz gonna say more above but I got innerupted by a schmoozer and now I can't remember wot I was gonna post....
