it looks like Craig is slapping Vlads hand away there ... "get your hands away from me you damn dirty commie"
I bet Bruce Boudreau to win the Jack Adams. SMHlet's review a few of my pre-season wagers
Canucks - over (Demko back)
Columbus - over (additional of Laine)
Boston - to win Cup
Colorado - to win Cup
there were a few others, but yeah.....
Counterpoint: I was there for a conference and wandered down there and somewhat enjoyed watching all the weirdos who were gathered far more than the bats. Especially the two who were flashing their boobs at each other and taking pictures.PSA
Dont bother going to Austin Texas. Shouldnt need to explain, but here is why
The stupid, stupid STUPID bats that live under the Congress Street bridge are one of the worst over-blown, over-hyped, let downs in the history of mankind.
They are tiny, even smaller than the little one Lorentz nailed. You will wait forever to see them, and when they do come out, there is no big killer swarm. And yet, suckers stand out there every freakin day to see them.
Sad.
If you got to Austin, go to eat, watch live music and swim in the springs downtown.
Our conference was right by the convention center, so it was relatively clean. Couple blocks up was 6th street where all the bars and food was. And yeah, pretty sketchy at night. Extremely aggressive homeless population there. Business district and around the statehouse was much nicer. 6th street was fucking crazy, not helped by the fact that it was biker week for part of the time we were there.And be careful. Not the safest of towns, esp the downtown area. Its sad, actually.
Barbecue is great, live music rivals Nashville (although the locals get offended if you say it, they say Austin is the Live Music capital of the world). Cannot vouch for the springs though lol.
Stayed at The Driskill back in January. I believe their claim about it being the most haunted hotel in the US. We had some weird stuff happen in our room. Unfortunately the area around there is a little sketchy after dark.
