Austin

Then, we made our way to the wonderful city of Austin, Texas. We had been told of Austin's greatness countless times along our journey, and needless to say we we're pumped to arrive in the live music capital of the world. We spent our first night with Julie, an internet tycoon, and awesome host. She opened up her awesome house to us on short notice. She had so much to share with us. we had a really nice time. She also happened to be the owner of a unique instrument known as the theremin. (an instrument best known for it's classic 50's sci-fi UFO sound).


The following day we spent the afternoon at Barton Springs, a natural swimming pool, a great way to beat the heat I'll tell you what.











Later that afternoon we made our way to Waterloo records and caught an in-store performance by a Chicago band named Maps & Atlases.















Nick locked his keys in the car for the second time in two days and we found ourselves stuck at a record store waiting for AAA once again.
















At dusk we went below the congress bridge in Austin to watch the nightly exodus of bats.














That night we made our way to a local bar called Emo's to see The Maps and Atlases concert. The opening acts were The Globes and Cults, great show, great show. After the concert we spent the night couch surfing with Ryan G.
