AustinPalooza is over but not forgotten

Ok I promised some stories of AustinPalooza with Becks and Bobbers....I found alittle something for all the SG crowd.



So proof that Chicken Shit Sunday at Ginny's Longhorn Saloon exists and Becks and Bobbers attended. Becks was in the back but I hear she got up close and got some great photo ops. That's Ginny with the chicken. Ginny's the one in the blue shirt.

Saw some of Nancy's relatives while browsing around South Congress.

Even found a cowboy for Crystal!!



Great BBQ for Soxonthebeach!! mmmmmmmmm Salt Lick BBQ is the BEST!!

and for those country music lovers, here's some live band music. I really liked the steel guitar player.
and last but not least.....we were closer to our favorite tall pitcher than all you realize.


All in all, the week was over WAY too fast. Bob told me that this was the first time in a LONG time that he didn't want to go home after a vacation. Just gave me warm fuzzies all over. I had a blast getting to hang out with fellow SGer Becks and her hubby cos both of them enjoy live music venues of all kinds like I do. We all acted like we were in our twenty's all week but I'm sure they are feeling like me today.....like I'm about 80 years old.
In two weeks, we celebrate ElmerPalooza in Boston. I have a feeling I am going to have to pace myself to last those three days in Boston. I can't see myself drinking weakwaters....

Nothing wrong with weakwaters, Tex. ;)

Glad you had such a great time with Becks and thanks for the pictures.

I think you made honorary Texans out of 'em.

Tex said...

Dang, this looks fun. What a great joint. I SO should have made to side trip to see you in Austin when I picked up Lily in McAllen.

ELMERpalooza?! Have I been so deeply drawn into the bizarre world of squirrels (yes, oh yes, I have--and I'm ready to be done soon with the world of squirrels, please) that I'm out of the loop? What is Elmerpalooza?

Tex said...
