Everyone Should Party Like A Rockstar Every Now And Then...
The opportunity presented itself for Kate and I to join some of my classmates for a night on the town in Austin. We did what the kids now call, "Tearin' it up." It was alot of fun to get out with some of my flightmates (cloudbuddies in Navy terms) in a non-academic, stress-free environment. Besides, we had a relatively low workload over the weekend, so why not?
Of course it rained the entire time we were there, but that didn't dampen our spirits at all. After dinner and a basketball game at the Outback steakhouse we caught cabs downtown from our hotel room. One of the col things about Austin is that you don't have to drive around if you want to go someplace. Everything is in one place! We went to a ton of cool bars and saw a couple of live bands playing. A lot if the bars in Austin also have small, private courtyards in the rear of the buildings. One bar is even open to the outside once you enter through the main door. They're all really old buildings with great architecture, but surrounded by highrises. It is quite interesting. Lots of homelesss people though.
The next morning we went back downtown and had brunch at a great place called the Old Pecan Street Cafe. Kate had crepes and I had a delicious bacon wrapped chopped sirloin. Delicious... Afterwards, we had to drive home in a torrential downpour. It rains every weekend here.
After living like rockstars for two weekends in a row, Kate and I had to do something responsible so we put our extra money into the savings account. So now we're poor again. Hopefully this weekend the sun will come out for a day or two so Kate and I can go camping! We're really looking forward to that. Also, Sea World and Six Flags have both opened and that should be a lot of fun as well.
Well that's what we're doing, being rockstars mixed in with the tiniest bit of responsibility possible. But we're enjoying ourselves and everyone deserves some of that.
Also: Kate and I bought delicious, bad-for-you, wonderful pepperoni and bacon-topped pizza. Kate got vegetarian pizza. It was AWESOME! We are so rockstars!

You better save some of that money so that you can still live like rock stars when I come to visit! A visit to Sea World is an absolute requirement!!!
To Kate: Are you, like, ever going to read my blog again?
I read your blog! I just haven't been posting comments lately.
