   The 3-liter thing threw me for a loop as well. After living 20+ years in Dallas, a year ago I moved to Austin and couldn’t find 2-liters anywhere. WTF?

   Lum, have ya been to the Saltlick for B-B-Q yet? That’s one of my favorite spots in or near Austin. And if it’s closed I DON’T WANNA KNOW!

   Curra’s on Oltorf is also completely awesome. They have (had?) these awesome pecan enchiladas. Plus, avocado margaritas (which sound horrid but actually taste great).

   Oh and pancakes at Kirby Ln…

   I miss Austin. Stupid job market. Stupid Houston for having a better job market

   It’s got to be an Austin thing, then. 2 hours north of Austin, at Wal-Mart, we have nothing -but- two-liters. No 3s at all. Granted, last time I was down there, for AGC, I didn’t look for any two-liters, either.

   What does the flag say? A quote from V.I. Lenin, I assume?

   You should go site seeing to the old buildings where gaming companies used to live. Like Origin System’s old building or ION Storm’s hangout.

   Snatch a 3 liter, some burritos, to go, and make it day of fun and sun!

    I’ve been to the river walk, but I was so drunk I may as well have been in Seattle for all I remember.

    My cousin works for the Texas Rangers, maybe we could all drive/fly to Arlington and take over the stadium for Lummies night. Free Fallen Age CD to the first 30,000 fans!

    Are you sure you want to have “We will come to the win of the communist hard work!” (literal), “The communist hard work will prevail” (paraphrased) on your wall?

    I think “Communist hard work for the win” would be a more-apt paraphrase.

    East Side Cafe
    Texadelphia
    Posse East (featured in the Clash’s Rock the Kasbah music video)
    Juan in a Million (best breakfast taco ON THE FREAKING PLANET)
    and many others.

    Salt Lick…. i dunno. Long ass drive. No b33r. Soup Nazi attitude. All you can eat, yes. But with a time limit. The BBQ is good, but not that good.

    At work I\’e2\’80\’99ve been on the job 3 days and no one has yet told me I\’e2\’80\’99m smoking crack. Clearly they are not used to me!

    Everyone’s nice to you the first week or so. Give it a bit, then the knives will come out.

    Have fun,

    “We are advancing to victory through Communist labor.” Which he won’t do as long as he’s smoking the crack.

    Does the Countyline still have good barbeque? I miss SW food. Here in northern europe about all we can get of Tex-Mex is a few tocos.

    Taxi to victory ftw thru comminust labor!

    Countyline is good, but a bit spendy. If you need good cheep BBQ. Go to Rudy’s.

    After you finish all that eating, you might take a walk around the grounds of the state capitol there, and see if you think that the rearing horse and rider of the ‘Texas Cowboy’ aren’t in that spot because of what is between the horse’s legs. Laughed my ass off when I saw it, but it was hot and I’d been walking quite awhile, so it might just have been heat stroke or oxygen deprivation.

    Salt Lick, Salt Lick, Salt Lick. The orange sauce is overrated, and it’s not worth the drive out.

    Stubb’s BBQ is much better. The meat and the sauce are both excellent. I even prefer Green Mesquite BBQ over Salt Lick.

    Tweets — you’ve just elevated my estimation of your coolness by having a father in the ex-USSR bringing you flags. Coolness or Hawtness? I dunno…it’s elevated something…
