In honor of my blog friend turned real life friend NIKKI, who is already soaking up the greatness that is Austin during SXSW!

I go listen to a band play on a Wednesday night
You see rainbow Mohawks at noon
BD Riley’s isn’t offering their lunch menu
It’s Thursday at noon and you look around and everyone else in the restaurant is drinking an alcoholic beverage except you.
6th Street is closed down
An 18 wheeler passes you downtown and the truck is full of Port O' Potties
I can hear music perfectly all the way on the 14th floor of my office.
All the lampposts are covered in saran wrap {several people have asked why? and it is so bands can't tape random flyers/concert info to them}
You come home from a show with WAY too many: koozies, cigarette lighters, bottle openers, bracelets, pins, and cd’s
Everyone downtown has on a green wristband
Auditorium Shores is having FREE concerts
It takes 15 mins to get to Hwy 35 from downtown b/c the outer two lanes are full of parked beer trucks
You pass a table full of “Greaser’s” and it’s NOT 1953
T~ and I went and saw Golden Boy on Wednesday night at the SoHo Lounge. It was really fun
