So Monday morning I left to San Antonio to spend the day. It was still about a 3 hour drive. About an hour drive in I realized I forgot my pillow at the shitty motel. I called my mom because I felt bad. She legit got it for me like a month ago. ?

The ride is pretty straight forward. It’s just signs and places to eat and get gas. Nothing special. 

However. San Antonio was quite awesome though. I don’t know that I would enjoy spending more then a day or two there but it has its own charm to it. The river walk is beautiful. I took a nice boat ride around it and then stopped to have some delicious Mexican food at the first restaurant to open up on it. I forgot the name of it because I suck. But I assure I assure you it was amazing. 

​

That snow one ice drink was terrible btw. And it costed 5 bucks. Son of a bitch. It was like pouring bubblegum flavored syrup straight into my veins. I had to throw it out. The Jew in me was mad. 

After I drove up to Austin and on the way to my Airbnb I drove down dirty sixth. Dirty sixth is a 21-23 year old dream of hammered kids everywhere. It was hilarious to see it packed on a Monday. Lots of young girls. ??

 My host josh is a pretty cool guy. You can tell he’s a little quirky and reminds me a lot of my buddy manny but he is a really nice and genuine guy. When I got here however there were two other random dudes who were suppose to be staying but didn’t pay for the room yet but left their bags out back from philly. Christ I know philly people. I know the whirlwind. This guy doesn’t. Lol

They show up and it’s exactly what I’m thinking and out of the gate the guys hadn’t paid for the room yet and we’re trying to sell an American Airlines voucher of $350 for $150. The way and manner in which this kid brought it up though. Sketch city. Like. I’ve been worrying about my stuff for the last two days and even hid my wallet in the pantry behind some cheese maker thing and a wooden salmon plank. Lmfao. 

I ended up just hanging out bullshitting with josh and gathering ideas of what I should do for the next day. I gathered some Intel and we tried to go to a late night taco spot but it was closed. Sad. 

So bright and early on Tuesday I’ve decided two things. I’m going to start off the day with a dumb amount of Texas Bbq and I’m also going to stay an extra day. This city looks so awesome. I try going to the infamous Texas Bbq Franklin. When I pulled up and saw the line though. I just laughed and drove away. Fuck. That. My time is limited and I’m not spending three hours waiting for food unless each piece of meat is also given to me with an 18 year old Spanish girl so I went to this other place remarked as the third best Bbq place in Austin. Jesus fuck this was absurd. I had tears in my eyes. It was the best sausage and brisket I’ve ever had in my life. Like mind blasting. 

  That’s the house I was staying at and the turkey vulture just chillen. 

Graffiti hill. Exactly what it sounds like. Very cool place where people are allowed to go and tag everything on the property. 

The picture of the puddle with tons of specs are actually hundreds of tadpoles. Hope those guys make it before it dries up haha. 

Next I went to Barton creek and hopped in. I met some really nice girls Corrine and Jess. Jess was from jersey right by me visiting her friend which was pretty random. They helped me figure out a few other things I should do. And then my man Cody came by! I forgot his lovely gfs name because I’m a bastard but we hung out talked music and the like. He might even come to crash at my place when he comes to visit New York in a month. Cheers dude you’re more than welcome. He told me to run straight up to mount bonnel and check out the view from there. Did not disappoint. 

It’s coming. It’s coming. 

After all of this I tried to catch the bats which I was unsuccessful at seeing them from the beg fining. I did get to catch the tail end which was still amazing but hey I should’ve left sooner. Went out and grabbed some beers with josh on the east 6th which is this amazing area that’s like what I want when I go out to drink. Dingy. Priced properly. Cool people. Good eats. And you feel just a little uncomfortable walking around at night. It’s a recipe for greatness. 

If there’s one thing I have to give 100% credit to josh on was his food choices were all 10/10. Even the vegan cabbage Thai dish I was making fun of him for. But it was preposterous. And the other two were equally awesome with just the right amount of spice I knew I would pay dearly for. 

(I know what you’re about to think, he just ate how the fuck is he getting more food? It’s called not having self respect and knowing that the little Mexican man and his food truck with produce happiness in the form of a lunch special 11:30pm at night. That’s right two tacos and a side of rice and beans for $6.50. The Jew in me was trying to make up for that lost snow cone.)

On the way back we grabbed tacos from a taco truck. They looked stupid amazing. I put them in my dash to drive us home really fast and josh says dude they are probably gunna fall up there want me to hold them. Ya man good idea. Thanks. We roll up. He hops out. And so do my tacos. Face first. On the ground. That is gravel and dirt. I slam the car in ebrake and run around the car. Oh no. He’s apologizing and I mean it when I say it’s not a big deal. But Jesus fuck can we SALAVAGE ANY OF IT PLEASE. So we get it off the ground. Dirt and all. I still ate about 45% of it because I’m an animal. Only a couple grains of dirt but God damnit I’ll be stronger for it. Haha

I finished the night out after I dropped josh off on rainy street and it was pretty dead. But I had two beers and talked to a few random people so I was happy. Cheers. 

Oh how Wednesday made for a fun and interesting day. That’ll be fun to write later. For now. I love you. ?
