re: Stadium Swim at Circa
Posted by Wade Phillips on 5/17/26 at 10:01 am to Tigertown in ATL
I had a CFB Saturday experience in September 2022. It was packed with dudes. The waitresses are typical Vegas pool waitresses, nothing to write home about. Pool water was warm and pretty obviously getting constantly pissed in. It's an experience to check the box and see if you like it, but I'm not in a rush to do that again at that price. Put me inside at one of the VP machines facing a wall of TVs.

re: 529 milestones for Junior

I hope all three go to a 4 year public university of their choice. Realistically, one probably won't go at all, and one may go somewhere private and more expensive. My posting amounts was to exemplify power of investing. I didn't really fund a huge relative amount, just did it early and letting it grow. My oldest kid's account has nearly $70K in market growth at the moment.
It's painful to part with that much at birth, but it's been a good strategy for us so far.

Call me crazy but my goal was to superfund up front and let it grow. To date, balances are as follows (much of this market growth over the past 4-5 years):
Pre-k’er: $105k
4 year old: $94k
5 month old: $32k
Thinking I’ll stop adding anything at this point and flow it down to the younger one as there is leftover or need. If costs skyrocket again I’ll turn back on funding. If I overshoot it, will divert to an IRA.

Sorry, I don't have a burner and rather not put my personal email out. Do you have a burner email I can contact?
WTB 4 tickets to Oklahoma Saturday (March 21)
Posted by Wade Phillips on 3/4/26 at 8:34 am
Bringing family down to BR for my kids' first LSU experience. Prefer Saturday tickets in the shade, but open to going Friday. Appreciate any help that isn't $300+ per seat on StubHub!
re: Forth Worth. Stockyards recommendations.

Second Rodeo, Tannehills, Joe T's (no live music), White Elephant. Plenty of good options and now much more pedestrian friendly.

Seems a bit naive. TTU is no destination job. He will move on if he sustains success.

Maybe the Double Eagle bros have Maguire locked in at Texas Tech, but that's who I expected to generate more buzz this cycle.

Yeah we ended up calling Roger per the recommendation and he was great. Agree best to arrange ahead of time. It was wild landing in the noon hour in that tiny airport with 5 other major flight arrivals. Thousands of people trying to solve the same problem at the same time.

I seriously doubt anyone is. My guess is the developer wanted it changed to the name of their $Billion investment that they are building for marketing purposes and used the offensiveness as an excuse.
They now have a bunch of baws from across the country talking about their new development that otherwise would have never heard of it.
This is right. What Bob Bass wants, he gets in FW. This was his ask.
re: What (if any) are the best and worst stock tips you got from this board
Posted by Wade Phillips on 7/30/25 at 8:03 am to LChama
AUPH would've been a winner, but I got greedy and turned it into a loser. Had a basis around $15/share. Should've sold at $34, but thought it was headed to $60.
re: Family Ski Trip Ideas
Posted by Wade Phillips on 7/29/25 at 7:59 am to craazyjose
I went through this research last year, although my kids are much younger, and we knew they weren't going to appreciate a fancy trip. We landed on Steamboat and had a good trip. Pretty easy and affordable flights in, easy to get transport to the mountain, good bus system to get you around town. Overall a good value ski trip with fun skiing and activities at the base. I'd suggest you look into it and compare pricing to the other choices on your list. I found it to be 30-40% cheaper than the other options when factoring flights and hotel.
ETA: look at Vacasa website and specifically the Torian Plum. Great location and value in my opinion. Even cheaper as you go up the side of the mountain and Vacasa runs a fantastic shuttle service.

Maybe look at Red Rocks or Green Valley Ranch. Not too far from the strip, but much more enjoyable resort experience. You can cab down to the strip for a meal or two but otherwise have a relaxed atmosphere and better gambling odds/minimums.

We go a couple times a year with a group of work guys. Our consensus favorite spot is still Tao for what you’ve said you’re looking for.
ETA: The scenery there is also top notch, if you catch the drift.

Bowie House
Crescent (comes with access to very nice Canyon Ranch Spa)
Hotel Dryce
Drover
Anything downtown is pretty similar/forgettable, and typically reasonably priced unless there is a major convention in town. I'd stay at Crescent and be walkable to amazing bars and restaurants.
