I LIKE AUSTIN

I ate so much queso in Austin that I was sweating half and half. I love that stuff. It's basically mexican cooking cheese melted in cream with jalapeno pepper and soft tortillas to dip in. You can make it at home with any cheese. It's hard to make cheese and heavy cream taste bad.
I finished posting pictures below. Margaret grew up down there, knew tons of people and knew her way around. So we pretty much ignored sxsw. There were too many bands, you had to figure out who was playing where and what party is what time etc. Then you get trapped in a showcase for hours. I could care less so we just met friends and ended up whereever. The bars that catered to local hipsters were amusingly darkened and had their doors shut to try and make themselves invisible to the hipster cancun throng on the street outside. We did go to some shows. Things have a way of working out and stumbling on an awesome shows by accident is so much more fun. Like we randomly headed over to Emo's outdoor one afternoon and walking down the wall to the entrance I was like, "wait, that's The Hold Steady...yes!" Free admission and when I tried to buy a beer, they were like, it's free. So that was the best show we saw. I text messaged Catherine and bragged because she's a huge fan and took me to see them 2 years ago.
