I'm sorry, y'all, but if you want to go to a bar and are over 21 or 80 IQ points, whichever comes first, do NOT go to sixth street. No. You need to go to fourth, or second. Also, Kerbey Lane Cafe is the best non-mexican food in Austin. It beats Magnolia Cafe hands down. Also? Drink lots of tequila. In frozen margaritas is how I prefer it but hey, to each their own. The museum route is fun but I'd say see the water, even if it is a winter month. The sun will most likely still be out. Also? The Mexican Freetail Bats only make their really grand appearance in the summer months. They fly south for the winter. Also, the vintage shopping is superb. If you're ever back in Austin, shoot me an email and I can give you specifics.missrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595843215458849973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-3732793767916746602007-10-28T11:59:00.000-06:002007-10-28T11:59:00.000-06:00I hope you had a great time and that the wedding w...I hope you had a great time and that the wedding was beautiful - did you get any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-70675299523904853882007-10-27T16:44:00.000-06:002007-10-27T16:44:00.000-06:00I just went to Austin for the first time a few mon...I just went to Austin for the first time a few months ago, but I think this comment is too late to provide you any advice, so I'll just say I hope you had a great time.<BR/><BR/>Also, only your second wedding EVER?

Also, me.<BR/><BR/>Also, on our first (or second? I don't know) flight together, they seated me in the front row and him in the veeeeeeeeeery back row, and wouldn't let anyone change seats.

It's about as good as it gets in TX.<BR/><BR/>The obvious choice for stuff to do is 6th Street (street downtown with restaurants/bars/clubs/etc.) Austin is known as the "live music capital of the world" (EYE ROLL GET OVER YOURSELF TEXAS), so there's usually plenty to do there.<BR/><BR/>Also, they have this weird/cool thing downtown where there are like millions of tiny BATS that fly out from under this certain bridge at a certain time every day. Sounds CREEPY and GROSS, but it's actually pretty cool.<BR/><BR/>Plenty of good BBQ and Tex Mex too, obviously. <BR/><BR/>Have fun!
