Austin: My Ambitious Austin Weekend
Waaaaaay back in 2009, I wrote a post called Top Ten Things to Do in Austin … the list still stands as an excellent guide, but as I spend a wedding long weekend in town with locals and not, I thought I’d make a list of things I want to do this weekend. To be clear, this…

Plus it connects to…

Coco Brevé will likely taste better than Keystone on the river—although I did not test this assertion. This is no small feat. Because literally nothing tastes better. But the coconut water bevvie’s bubbles and alcohol…
