• PBR Gambler Days at Moody Center in August

  Campus traffic is a headache I try to avoid. I would rather stay out in Dripping Springs than fight traffic around Robert Dedman Drive on a Friday night.

• Road to Lone Star Le Mans Racing Fanfest at Branch Park Pavilion

  Too many people moving into town these days, but at least this thing is completely free for families. Might bring my grandson down to see the race car displays if I can stand the drive.

  Get yourself a cheap blacklight flashlight and go hunting around the yard at ten at night. They glow bright neon green under UV light.

• Franklin vs interstellar - what is worth the line right now?

  Too many people in this city now. Lines everywhere you go. Used to be you could just get good meat without turning it into a four hour festival.
