Blast from the past, for sure.

That place went from having a line around the block to get in to crickets almost overnight. But it had a good 2-3 year run

Does the building still exist? Seems like a bar would do quite well there, when they move the casino right next to it (and away from the river).

And America's Pub was more 2000-2002-3ish, for the record.
These two wolves were brought back from extinction using John Snow.
They'll never be ready for us. They always say they are, and that we are just exaggerating...but they are never actually ready.

8/30 just so happens to be my bday as well :cheers:

A threat of high winds has forced the City of New Orleans to remove Porta Potties from the parade route. NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick is asking everyone to use the bathroom before the parades begin.

She thinks people aren't going to drink at Mardi Gras? I don't care how early they are starting up today! Bless her heart!

Yeah, the parade was in March so you missed that completely!

There's always a nice selection in the trash cans outside Tiger Stadium, for the rainy games.

Wind was a bitch last weekend.

Last weekend's 60 degrees was almost as cold as today out there. Windchill is no joke!

It really is a nice arena.

It could use a few more ways to get in and out, but the inside is very nicely done.
Turns out it has something to do with the amplifier, because it's back working fine when I removed that from the mix......weird.
Mine is internal in attic, but is fairly nice and has a little amplifier it runs through. It was working pretty well but I messed around with it and started having some signal issues. I then put it all back just like it was originally and have lost all access to all channels (after a scan I have ZERO digital channels). I'm sure it is something simple that I did or undid, but I can't figure out what it is.

:dunno:
This has happened to me twice this weekend, once south of Lake Charles and now in BR. In BR, I have lost everything and somehow don't have any digital channels coming up on a scan now.


Thanks in advance!
Metallica, Pearl Jam, etc.....are some that don't play the same every night. Pearl Jam has done it forever, Metallica just started the two different nights the last couple of years. There are MANY more big acts that mix it up A LOT from night to night (all of the jam bands come to mind)!

I'm curious if he'd even entertain coming here. He was an assistant here for a while, so that's something at least.

How many snow games has Rattler played in? I'm guessing not enough?

This is sold in stores.
The amount and kinds of trash/waste will change, and there should be way less of it in general. We are pretty damn wasteful as a society.

I'm going to go hug a tree now.....

I really enjoyed Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, on PS4.

Still need to play Firewatch.
