BIRMINGHAM THREAD (Home of the 2022 World Games & a Better Place to Visit than Serbia)

Taylor Sarallo is a cutey on NBC 13 weather.

She used to be Spann's sidekick

 

Any good place to go for golf lessons. Preferably somewhere close to Trussville.

 

Amazing dinner at Automatic last night. 8 of us racked up a significant tab. Got a little out of hand.

 

Where’s a good/new place to go sit at the bar on Thursday without a reservation?

 

Say hello to SH?

 

Ha. I didn’t see her

 

That's pretty huge. Also cool it's at that location. It'll be nice when the urban development stuff links up with the neighborhoods in SW Birmingham. I think that's a multi-decade thing, but needs to happen.

 

Me and RJF-GUMP would crush Archibald & Woodrow’s on Greensboro back in the day. Then my brother lived right by Watermelon Rd in grad school so we’d hit up the OG then.

 

Archibalds is my favorite bbq of all time. Used to love Woodrows too

 

getting destroyed on rebounds and can’t make a damn three

 

we talkin BBQ up in here sir

 

I actually went to soho social tonight and it fucking sucked. I’m done

 

Write it off! Write it off! Write it off!

 

I never had a good experience there fwiw

 

File this under the "I'm old" thing, but I didn't know the Refinery or Fennec existed. Are either of these places worth trying if I don't want to Otey's?

 

The Fennec is a great substitute for Otey’s. They’re a lot alike.

 

Concerning

 

spreading the word on this excellent deal and promotion!

 

There's always some shit going down in Tarrant.

 

Pete Thamel with the Magic Johnson tweet

 

Stopped reading at Hoover lol

 

any word on this Wooden City place on morris ave (other than a very lackluster name)

 

I’ve heard a lot of good things actually

Also food related, Mas Sabor food truck off Valley is delicious. Tried it out for the first time today and the burrito is immediately top 3 in the city for me

 

I went to one of his games and it was pretty fucking cool.

I remember there being a big ass billboard off the hwy with this batting average on it.

It just went down down down

 

and here it is

 

Delete this!

 

Caught a foul ball from him out in the grass down the first base line where kids would all just fuck around. Some kid twice my size punched me in the stomach and took it.

 

We saw him out at Senor Frogs one night(with his bodyguards) and my buddy went up and asked for an auto and was told NO with the quickness.

 

it's all starting to make sense

 

update: it’s quite good

 

Is everyone ready for Crestline Village’s Super Bowl?

 

yea, it is, which, like you, nearly caused me to cancel my reservation lol. but glad i didn't, really enjoyed it. idk that it really has a niche--it's a bit like what the essential was in its heyday--but it's def a solid one to have in the rotation

 

Sturgill didn’t sell well here at all

 

I would have bought a ticket had he played the Mercedes Amp in Tuscaloosa.

 

Surprising. The crowd for Childers last year was huge

 

Last album sucked

 

Dogshit take

still enjoyed the show, but yea, disappointing and also super MAGA and MAGA-adjacent crowd, which always baffles me

 

I don’t doubt the show was great. Looked at some of the setlist and they looked great too. That sad last album was ass

 

Show was much lower energy than when I saw them in Nashville in October, but I thought the setlist choice was awesome, particularly all the covers. By the end, they were rocking. Was great.

While a bit disappointing it didn’t sell well, kind of makes sense when thinking about how this tour unfolded. Announced dates in spring 2024 with the closest show in Nashville. Due to demand for those shows, added dates to the tour, including Huntsville. Did the tour, killed it, went to Europe, then added more dates in general areas they had already visited (OB, Bham) on off nights (Tues, Thurs). Supply exceeded demand for this 9-10 month tour.

Also Heard the promoter cancelled OB specifically because of poor ticket sales, taboot.
