Holiday Observations
The swans are swimming.
Distractions
I must be one of the worst holiday shoppers around. First of all, I waited to tackle my Christmas shopping until mid week when the crowds aren't as bad. After I went to 2 stores I called it quits. Going to a beer tasting sounded like more fun to me. So I headed out in the freezing night to WOB and ordered a Winterbourne. Mmm, it tasted like a Newcastle with a hint of nutmeg. I get sucked into the long couches and 5 big screens showing winter scenery. As I looked around the bar I noticed that it was filling up fast. I wondered how many others were supposed to be "Christmas shopping".
Legendary Stubb's
This is one of my favorite places in Austin, Texas. If you're not into music, Austin will convince you you should be. Stubb's has the right mix of BBQ along with some of the finest world class music. What I like about this town is you cannot put a label on the music. Stubb's hosts all types of bands and does not discriminate based on genre. This is my belief in music as well.
Allens Boots
We have a situation over here. Allens Boots is legendary among shoppers looking for unique western wear with a no frills setting. With a price tag of $600 on these boots they are going back on the shelf for some lucky lady.
