I saw TF3 perform with the Austin Symphony a few years ago. Their rendition of Hallelujah brought me to tears it was so beautiful.

Pre-pandemic, I used to use Wingz for my occasional trips to ABIA. Has anybody used them recently? How are they doing?

I love the Paramount theater. I just don’t like seeing shows there. It is brutally uncomfortable. And the audiences are often awful.

The State, on the other hand is one of my favorite places for shows. And I’ve seen all sorts of things there. Trained cats. A live re-enactment of Jurassic Park. A somewhat impromptu performance by the creator of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

Long live the State Theater.

Which Austin Java are you liking? I had eggs benedict at the Menchaca location a couple weeks ago and it was kind of gross – slathered in a very poor hollandaise sauce. Maybe it was just a bad pick.
