  • Nice building.  What's the name of this hotel? (That is, if it's a hotel)

  • @hop208 Hint: It's in the title of the video :)

  • @distracteddispatches WOW! I'm dumb! It was late when I asked that though.

  • @hop208 You're not dumb!  I do things like that all the time. :)

  • In some online communities I go to, people compared the partying after Obama's victory to the Return Of The Jedi ending in that each represented a major victory over something.

    Ironic, because as the cracked.com article "6 most depressing happy endings" argues, the RotJ ending doesn't imply as much of a victory over the empire as it seemed to. Similarly, the Obama victory didn't imply as much of a victory over the far right as it seemed to.

  • Hurray to the couple that was making out!

    I would have done the same with anyone that night... I was so thrilled!

  • Not too surprising. Austin is one of the few liberal enclaves in Texas.

  • I LOVE Austin.

  • Ah Austin, home of The Atheist Experience. Another good reason not to kick Texas out the union.
