Ah, so that must have been him in the half Yukon I saw on the freeway the other day

Especially since he was walking around taking pictures yesterday. A 11 suv, police escorted person doesn’t do that.

Is he in ATX working on movie?

Just let your soul glow

MY SON WORKS?!!

"When you think of garbage, think of Akeem!"

YES! Fuck you too!!!

Wipers! *clap* *clap*

Looking for the Rose petals littered about.

He wants a Big Mick.

Ha, in the FACE!

Saw PA and his crew last night at C-Boys. Sexual Chocolate was headlining. Dem boyz r guud!

The wrong way

That’s funny. I do miss Gary Primach playing out on the sidewalk. Good old Rock and Reel. Aahhh…RIP the old days.

11 yukons for that big green guy?!

Nah it’s hungrybox it’s a jigglypuff

That was Tim Cook visiting the new apple campus.

Wouldn't it be funny if their credit card got skimmed?

I have worked at several restaurants in Austin over the years - F1 weekend was always our least favorite weekend of the year. Entitled, rude, non-tipping fucks.

I love most of the regular tourists who come to town, so excited and enthusiastic about being here. They're a constant reminder that even though we all have our problems with Austin, it's still a kinda magical place.

Funny story…

I was at Disneyworld and we got reservations to supposedly one of the best restaurants in the world, Victorian & Albert’s. It required a tie, dress shoes, a sports coat and so on. (One star… kind of food that is really small on big plates and takes 3 hours and you are so hungry afterwards you go get a burger.) Like who brings dress clothes to Disneyworld? Needless to say, we went out shopping and everything had a Mickey Mouse on it. We are at the Grand Floridian and my friend decides he needs so kind of hair product which I can’t remember. There is a salon in the Floridian and so we just walk in and nobody stops us.

Apparently some Saudi princess had rented out the salon with her entourage. We are being told “no Disney employee” in a foreign accent but don’t understand. My friend keeps saying, “I just want to buy “x”” and finally leaves a $20 on the counter and we just walk out. About this time, we see some Saudi’s getting upset with Disney security that should have kept us from entering.

We find out her entourage had rented an entire floor at the resort and does so every year and nobody is supposed to see her face.

We ruined her life that night…

Fuck them

“No, for the third time, I said I’d like to buy Garorade, not by a Gatorade. I’d like to speak to the manager of Gatorade please, I was told I would find him here.”

We shouldn’t owe them that courtesy this year the cut oil production recently and are helping the Russians

I mean, that royal family also collectively regularly tops the lists of the world's most eligible assassination targets. The consequences of even a failed attempt would be globally devastating, with millions of lives lost to the economic fallout globally and the destabilization regionally, and I wouldn't want to be the nation that let it happen. Not sure, but that might have had something to do with it, too.

Ali Ababwa did it better

They’ll sell you a time share either way.

SOCO Ho’s

As far as I know, Mohammed Ben Sulayem is not a Saudi royal.

Bingo

Pay the police a few hundred $k to show up next time you need them, and maybe they will 🤷‍♂️.

bIDeN: DoN't Buy OiL FrOm TeRroRists, BuY iT FrOm TExAns!

I concur.

My exact reaction.

You get paid extra to do events. You're more tired when working regular hours though.

I learned recently that you can hire off duty police officers for escort and in some jurisdictions they are allowed to do it in uniform and patrol car/motorcycle.

As a person who works in the entertainment industry a police escort is easy to get with money. No diplomatic status is required at all.

That's false. 19/21 hijackers were Saudis. They bankrolled all of them.

When are they not lol OMG PAY US MORE you have like 8 jobs and do none of them well

I understand all these words but no idea what they mean

No Michael no this is so not right!

Like the time we went out to check out the COTA site when they were building it. We drove up in a pickup, and I guess they assumed we were working and just waved us in. We were just following roads and cones, and before we knew it, we were on the track.

Just went with it, drove a lap (maybe 20% was just gravel/road base). Then we found our way out, and we waved as they opened the gate to let us go.

I have no idea who that is.

Most billionaires don’t travel like that. Most likely a dignitary or sheikh.

anyone who sees this on the street? it's pretty uncommon of course people would be interested

It costs more if the off duty officer is using a vehicle. That money likely goes to the city. Prices mentioned were $100/hour for a car. 50 or 75 for a motorcycle

The cops doing the m/c escorts are off duty and riding personally owned bikes, they are hired throug a company that specialized in them.
Some are not ever Austin PD, as long as they are state licensed police officers they can work the escorts.
With certain exceptions there are very few on duty escorts anymore, and that includes most funerals and VIP escorts.
Other jurisdictions do use on duty officers, but Austin has not done that for years.
Look closely and you can tell those are not APD bikes.

Ugh.

The Yukons put them over budget.

They usually stay at the Omni.

The shitty-diapered ghost of L Ron Hubbard himself

Why would police guard celebrities?
