    Bangers was awesome! I loved my sausage. :D

    Hipsters... everywhere....as far as the eye can see. And I come from San Francisco, the land of hipsters.

    I think Austin has a more focused hipster than SF. SF has a lot more variation within the hipster community due to the many types of people/gender/sexual orientation.

    Yeah, but....DFW has the street system to handle it. Austin? Not so much.

    Y'all are also gonna have a $68mil football stadium for a high school.

    Dude, vertigo sucks.

    I bet I could get on an 18' boat and feel normal.

    In the meantime, I'm watching my puppies play.

    Vertigo does suck. My mom and brother in law suffer from it. Fortunately I have never suffered from motion sickness, but I have been drunk so I can imagine it's like that....but it comes at inopportune times.

    Puppies seems like a decent alternative to working though.

    If you're bored tomorrow, I'm thinking of touring Hops and Grains sometime in the afternoon.

    Can't drive, I am under "medical observation" (which is bullshit). Current plans are to lounge around all morning, and then ride with Missus America to the vet where the little pup gets her staples removed from being spayed.

    Other than that, my short term plans involve going through a list of things designed to help resolve the vertigo. Weird thing is that I'm not nauseous or anything like that - never been seasick, even on rough water - but technically I'm impaired until the vertigo subsides.

    All that being said...Hops and Grains sounds pretty good.

    If the weather is clear, you should check out the Moontower Saloon. They're having a crawfish festival this weekend. http://www.moontowersaloon.com/sat-sun-may-14-15-crawfest-iii/

    Bummer. Sorry to hear about your vertigo. Wish I had some tips to help it go away.

    I'll definitely try and check out the moontower. Sounds pretty cool.

    A co-worker was just talking about this today. Think I might check it out. I live about a mile away so it's real convenient.

    I'm even closer...wait, is your truck Silver, or is it white with a 1" or 2" lift?

    Are you in Bauerle Ranch? Someone honked at me the other day, and I've been trying to find out if they were on here!
