It’s sort fo one of those things. It’s like being concerned that the banks aren’t open when you get off second shift at the factory at midnight. The commercial world serves the most people who are awake at any given moment.

Movies on Sunday nights at a late show are always good as most folks already DID that between Friday and Sunday, mid-day. But you can still be ready for water cooler conversation on Monday morning.

Also: there’s just drinking yourself into oblivion in the dark in your own home.

This town has stuff going on 5-6 days a week, and does really well on Thursday-Saturday. I'm not sure what sort of three-ring circus you guys had going on in the Bay Area, but Sunday is usually the day to do chores, etc... and get yourself together for the work week here in Austin.</p> <p>That said: TXRD had a bout on Sunday. So Sunday wasn't totally devoid of activity.</p> I think the thing with slow Sundays in this town is that Monday is a school day, in both the literal and figurative sense.
