We had a pretty standard Austin weekend (or what Tim and I like to pretend is a standard Austin weekend, though in truth we mostly sit at home...). We went to Guero's Taco Bar to eat dinner (Tim loves this place, I think it's OK, but we always have to wait forever) then the boys got some draft Paulaner at the Ginger Man. Sure, we know it's a chain, but the beer selection (for one who likes beer) is apparently impressive. We're getting old, though, and called it an early night that night (after running into one of my students at the bar).
The next day, we had a quick bite to eat at Jo's Coffee:
then wandered around the South Congress neighborhood. We took Lucky to a very goofy store called Monkey See Monkey Do!, which was simply fun. Then we met James and Laura and a friend of theirs at our favorite Italian spot in town, Asti. It's not quite Italy, but it's the closest we've found in town.
After dinner we all headed to the Elephant Room for some flamenco guitar:
We had a good time with Lucky visiting...we only hope he likes Austin half as much as we do and wants to join the small group of friends we're gradually pulling towards the Lone Star State.
