Notes from the blue dot

::waves from the nice blue dot in the scary red state::

What I like in Austin, TX so far:
Nice, quiet pavement to drive on
Wide streets with wide driving lanes
Wide sidewalks with room for peds and cyclists
Barbecue
Bats (which I hope to get to see take flight this evening)

That's some list! Well done on the not dying part, btw. We did watch the bats take off last night. Way cool! I've been thinking about Threadgill's--and 5 vegetables sounds really good right now--but I think we're gonna try to go to Oasis tonight. I noticed the many tattoo places on Sixth when we were out strolling yesterday. I really need to get my Monkey tattoo, dammit! I just cannot decide where to put it. Blarg!

Ick. Oasis has a lovely view of the lake, however, the food leaves much to be desired.

The seafood crepes I had were well yummy. Perhaps they've stepped it up since you were here. Or maybe I just got lucky and ordered the best thing on the menu.
