Visiting Austin question

you know this weekend is sxsw right?

 

That effects the level of the water?

 

it affects the number of tourists. it maybe really crowded.

 

haha, this post made me laugh.

 

i went to the greenbelt about 3 weeks ago and it was dry, dry, dry.

 

Bone dry. No water in Austin. Many scenester tourists and wannabe record execs pacing around town forcing me to stand in line for tacos. God this town blows durins SXSW.
Stay where you are.

 

there was a little water in the creek the other day from the rain we got monday but its pretty dry.

Bring your dogs and take them to redbud island or somewhere like that if you don't want to go to the creek

 

This town is at its best during SXSW

 

I used to think the same thing. 1989-2005...

 

heady.

 

You couldn't PAY me enough to go downtown this weekend. I'll stay my ass out in the suburbs until everything's all gone.

 

lame.

 

You're probably right, but given the fact that I have mobility issues, should I want to go anywhere downtown, I'd need close parking and a short walk without bumping into hundreds of people. It's rare enough during any other day of the year, it simply doesn't happen during SXSW.

Therefore, I'll entertain myself in the suburbs by drinking and grilling with my friends and spending WAY less money having just as much fun, if not more.

 

i second the redbud park suggestion if you're bringing the dogs. perfect place.
if it's just you swimming, then go head on over to deep eddy or barton springs pool.

and yes, it'll be a big giant scenester cluster*****. enjoy!

 

the weather is beautiful today! come up!
maybe dd will organize a rockets watching game on sunday.

 

I would be down...where at?

I can't do it on my back porch because it is daylight, and my outdoor theater needs dark...but I would be willing to meet up and bring that rowdy spirit to 3rd base etc.
