billbradleyYou want BBQ sauce? Get the fuck out of my house. 2,914 Posts
thanks again for the recommendations, I'm checking some of these out. But are any of them in the downtown area? I'm staying at 2nd and San Jacinto so I'm very near most of the film venues and there are tons of restaurants around, but most of them seem pretty corporate and/or corny.
Not afraid of a long walk... although sometimes my window of time for a meal is tight?
Oh, and is the food served by Alamo Ritz any good? the idea of falafel and a beer over a movie sorta appeals to me since we don't have that option in Bmore, but sometimes theatre food is a l'il on the side.
None of those are downtown. Here are a couple other recommendations.
Thai Passion 620 Congress (the entrance is on 7th street just west of Congress)
Pita Pit 619 Congress
Do go check out a movie at the new Alamo Drafthouse at the Ritz. They have good food and a decent beer selection. It isn't the cheapest place to eat but I think it is worth it.
I am doing my thing at the gigacrate party on saturday night w/tittsworth and klever along with the homie troublemaker. they are also doing the rub party on follow the link to rsvp suckas...
from my experience last year, RSVP. i will send a link out to a free list that congregates almost all the parties. i am also looking to rock some house parties with some folks. more info when i have that...

Yeah, the drafthouse is one of the main venues for the festival so I've already seen 1 movie there and will see several more... was just wondering if their food was decent, and glad to hear that it is. that'll make my life a lot easier actually being able to fit meals in as I watch some of my movies.

That shit had to be pretty incredible...
my homie got into that, I was running late, but he said High On Fire murdered that shit. I guess Motorhead was good but not amazing, mostly got 40 year old metal fans excited.
Holly shit.. I got wasted last night... My friends got me into the Ticketmaster house... I then began to drink beer after beer... I never want to see another Lone Star in my life! shit, I had those in my bag running aroung drinking in the street. I got hooked up with a vip pass to EMO's and also found myself at Beauty Bar.. Yo Cosmo... I think I ran into you there... I was hammered though. ALL in ALL a great trip.. I had no problem getting into any shows I wanted to see. I wish I could stay for the rest of the shows, but back to LA i go. I also think I picked up the flu.. feel like shit. Peace
fader had it going on almost every day there i saw lykke, ting tings, dri, and a few more there lines were too massive for the santogold/nerd afternoon
and i caught them at stubbs the night before santi was dope but her two stoic cute young chef pants & white glasses wearing backup dancers were mesmerizing other highlights included yacht on wave rooftop DRUG RUG lykke li that late night playboy party that cosmo rocked at even though it was too ravey for me. moby played 'paradise city' and i got to meet my heroes from upright citizens brigade the heavy getting to meet yael naim neon neon at blender
lowlights vampire weekend mgmt missing david banner cuz i got too dronk the night before
I saw the mic was open in between bands. I went up and spit a few minutes before the mic was cut. I walk off stage. Not long afterward I get the escort out and told I am banned for life.
Me and the mic is like Pookie and the pipe, I'm a fiend.
Using Graemlins.
