    Taking the girlfriend to Austin for a few days to celebrate her birthday. We plan to check out 6th street, graffiti wall, Uchi, etc. Any other must see things to do in Austin?

    Oasis is pretty cool. Just the view not really the restaurant. There is a park near 2222 and 360 which I like.

    I felt the same way about the Oasis
    The Food was nothing special
    The Drink was ok to good . . . . unique experience
    but not a Highlight

    Oasis, amazing view for the sunset...food is okay (had a burger), drinks are decent.

    If you're looking for outdoors stuff: Krause Springs, Barton Springs?, I think Hamilton's Pool is still closed from flood damage.

    I have a gig in Steiner Ranch in a few weeks and will probably take the wife and spend the weekend.

    Anything cool to do in that area besides Oasis?

    Get ****faced on 6th street, **** a transient beat poetess in a the bathroom at Chuggin' Monkey, **** a Catholic college girl on the track field at St Edwards, eat the Flying Pig at Gourdough's, convince girls to go topless at Barton Springs, **** a vegan artist hipster chick in a bathroom at Kerby Lane, and top it all off by downing an entire bottle of Tito's Vodka and then floating down the San Marcos in an inner tube.

    Whenever I go to Austin I usually like to drive with my wheels partially in the bicycle lanes and at red lights I like to block the crosswalk with my car.

    Watch the Bats at Sunset at the South Congress Bridge. Shop SoCo. Swim in the frigid waters of Barton Springs. Hike and visit/swim at Sculpture Falls. Swim at Hamilton Pools near Spicewood.
