Evil MoPac delivers the annual jokes!

Posted on March 16, 2023 by Steve

Evil MoPac should update the free space though, Elijah moved away years ago. Several squares will sadly be true year round, especially the not funny Joe Rogan opening his comedy venue at the old Ritz Theater, where the best Alamo … Continue reading →

President Camacho to the rescue!

Posted on March 15, 2023 by Steve

Given the two horrible, crappy choices next year…same as every year…red bag of shit or blue bag of shit, I will be voting for Camacho since he traveled back in time to run! Not a bad cameo at this year’s … Continue reading →

The upcoming D&D movie will debut at SXSW

Posted on January 17, 2023 by Steve

This is rather mixed news to me. Unlike the very loud minority of Gamers whining about “their culture” was hijacked by popular shows like Big Bang Theory (barely seen) and the novel Ready Player One (great book, crappy movie), I don’t have … Continue reading →

Newly built duplex on Howard Lane. Near the Capital Metro’s light rail line. $1,000,000 OBO. Too late, three Californicators and a Brooklyn Hipster got into a bidding war so it sold for $2.5 million. Wait until they see their property … Continue reading →

Courtesy of the humorous Twitter feed Evil MoPac. Click on it to get the full view. Sadly, I get to automatically check three boxes because they’re year-round problems with the rude morons who have moved here from Dallas. We did … Continue reading →

Virtual SXSW underway

Posted on March 17, 2021 by Steve

Last year it was cancelled (hooray!). This year they found a way to rip people off by making them pay probably outrageous amounts to “attend” via streaming and/or disappointing Zoom conferences. There’s a sucker born every minute, especially into believing … Continue reading →

SXSW 2020 is cancelled!!

Posted on March 6, 2020 by Steve

My bitching about SXSW is nothing new but its cancellation this Spring is a dream come true! We taxpaying, non-asshole residents get to enjoy our city for a little while longer. The writing was on the wall anyway. Nazi-sympathizer Jack … Continue reading →

The annual invasion is upon us again

Posted on March 8, 2019 by Steve

However, the stars have aligned against us residents even further. The planners behind SXSW forgot to coordinate with UT and AISD and schedule this around Spring Break. So downtown will be even more crowded, terrible and best avoided. It’s also … Continue reading →

Gary Numan

Posted on March 19, 2014 by Steve

I didn’t have my picture taken with Gary because I wanted to be polite to the other autograph seekers at Waterloo Records. Being first in line (for once), I felt obligated to not be that asshole who gobbled up his brief window … Continue reading →

Not done with Photoshop®

Posted on March 15, 2014 by Steve

I caught this on the way to the train Thursday (leaving SXSW). Not sure who was behind the skywriting which involved possibly five planes or one with a very specialized ability. After the declaration of “Pi in the sky,” the … Continue reading →
