checked out the lower 9th ward before crushing an 8 hour trek west to Austin (hence the limited activity), breaking only to load a few thousand more calories at another Cracker Barrel breakfast.
During the drive, Parker and I continued to build on our already close (and increasingly dependent) relationship with Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant, hosts of the Stuff You Should Know podcast. Building on our random manknowledge, we learned such things as:
- How easy is it to steal a nuclear bomb?
- Is it possible to brainwash someone?
- How do biohydrocarbons work?
- Can you control your dreams?
Austin
Stopped by the frog studio to say some hellos and grab a few beers with some Texan frogs.
Cruised out to outer austin to drop off our stuff and grab a killer brisket, sausage, turkey, and rib dinner at the Salt Lick (epic Texas BBQ joint).
At this point, my digestive system might hate me even more than my liver does. Our last 5 dinners were: BBQ - BBQ - cajun - cajun - BBQ, which if were pooled and weighed, would scale in at somewhere around 35 pounds.
Fought the food coma in downtown Austin around 6th street, where the streets were teaming with UT students who weren't able to wait until Saturday to breakout their costumes. My favorite 2 were a guy who was somehow talked into wearing a full Peter Pan costume (tights and all) by his girlfriend (tinkerbell) and 2 girls who were either victoria's secret angels or cabaret performers.
Wandered around, hitting Friends for live music, Buffalo billiards for pool, and Lucky's for more music.
Final resting place for the day: outer Austin, the Burton residence
