Beyond the Cove

Hopping away from the Austin recap-it's funny that I associate this person with the Capitol City...

Happy birthday to Randy (lostncove). I really can't be as creative as everyone else right now, so I'll drop back into the past and link to THIS. It has something to do with all of this. That was a lifetime ago, though.

Have a good day, Randy!

Take It to the Limit: Austin City Limits Music Festival Part 2

After the day before, this was the day we decided to take it easy. Matty (mattycub) already had a bitchin' cold, and the rest of us were totally wiped out by the day before. I think we woke up around 11, and took our time moving. Sure, there were bands we wanted to see, but driving ourselves further into the ground wasn't as attractive. The sun had already been up for a few hours, and the high was to be 97 degrees.

The gang assembled, and Matty, Jeff (jeffbear63), Scott (xkot), Sean (schnitz_mi), Owen (murphy) and Chris (oakleycub) piled into cars an we went down the road for lunch at Furrs Cafeteria. Despite my feelings about older-skewing food places, it was a good choice to get something for everyone, quickly. Still, despite the smarter choices people could make, there was an awful lot of starches consumed.

We still needed some supplies for the day, and the only place we really saw was a Wal-Mart. Today was really taking a white-trash turn. Still, I didn't know where a Target, or much else was nearby, so we held our collective noses and went for it. Who knew that Wal-Mart didn't have 1 liter bottles of water? Some of us picked up some gallon jugs of water, but we were unsure if they would be allowed in. Sean found some ground cover, since there wasn't a true stadium blanket to be found in the place. Still, they were some of the best purchases of the weekend. That, plus the collapsable chairs I had in the trunk really made days two and three much, much more bearable.
