And of course the bats are in the air. No proper Austin rendering would be complete without the bats.

Are you referring to the woman with tattoos?
If so:
Really? A woman with tats has suicide issues? If it was a guy?
Not cool.... sexist at best.....
Guess you're the person in the pickup that yell's at people different from them..
.... how does that stereotyping feel?

C'mon, man. He's referring to the girls at suicidegirls.com. It's an innocent joke.

But back on topic, I can't wake for the Line Hotel to get underway. That's such a prominent location in Austin, and I can't think of a better group to handle the remodel.

Don't forget that some of us are not female savvy. I was a bit confused by what he meant as well but figured there was some social media star calling herself that or something. Had no idea there was even a website called suicidegirls.com lol.

But yes back on topic, I agree. Looking forward to the remodel. I especially like the signage.

I'm not sure exactly where this photo was taken inside 111 Congress, but one of my cousins just posted this on facebook:

"Pretty cool installation by @hsuoffice #111congress"

This is hilariously off-base. So much so, that I thought it was a parody.

I guess you're right. Suicide Girls have been around for a long time. I thought everyone had heard of them, but obviously not. lol It's a very weird name to call themselves, and I have never really understood it.

Oh, I've seen them with tats, I just didn't know there was a name for them. My cousin is covered with tats like that. I'm not sure I'd call her a suicide girl, though.

Anyway, that hallway looks vaguely familiar, but I doubt I've been there. It does appear to be underground, though, which makes me think it might be the tunnel that connects the building to its garage across the street.

I have tats, not all over, but a few, can I change my name from the genral to suicide girl?? Just kidding Kevin, please don't. The hallway reminds me of the connecting tube to the terminals at the old airport. As far as any renovations to the Line Hotel, other than the new signage, I don't imagine the outside will change except maybe the color. Its nothing but windows. I don't want them to mess with the circular drive on the parking garage.

No, it is definitely a reference to Suicide Girls the website.

Sorry for the confusion.

Just having tats doesn't make one a suicide girl, I'd imagine you'd have to be on the website.

Don't google it at work.

I do not drive a pickup, anymore.

It kind of reminds me of when you've just gotten off a plane and are walking up a jetway (with lights) to get to the terminal.
