Austin Texas RFI

The 37 will still be running but on a limited schedule.

I'm on the 10 now, actually, but same deal.

I don't want to ride a scab bus, though. I'm close enough to take the Red River and add a few blocks to my walk. I'll do that.

Thinking on it, I guess I could take the 37 if I wanted, but the 10 is easier.

guys, what bus do I get from the Days Inn University/Downtown on I-35 to party street?

party street? Like, the Capitol for election stuff or 6th street for teeny bopper drunks?

party street = wherever good times can be had on a friday or saturday night, which I understand is 6th street

In that case, it's only 5 blocks. How drunk do you expect to be?

5 blocks? http://tinyurl.com/699lj3

OK, that link just takes me to "Europe" on google maps. When I looked it up on before, though, it said it was on 11th street. Clarity is needed.

yes, bus from Europe

I think maybe the 37 is your best bet.

I would highly encourage you to hit Red River rather than sixth. Maybe jackalope or casino el camino if you must go down sixth.

I suspect I will end up going where I'm told, and the people doing the telling will be astrophysicists, but thanks for the tips. Where on Red River St?

Red River intersects Sixth Street near 35 and for three blocks or so east there are some cool bars/clubs there. Less drunk college students at least.

gold dust, thank you.

I see the Crown and Anchor in your future.

Haha, Crown's not bad.

haha, I know exactly the kind of pub you mean.

It's walking distance from the physical science area of campus, too.

Relatedly: anyone heard what's going in where Showdown used to be?

I was just in a Daily Texan meeting where I heard it's becoming a Little Woodrows. I miss the Showdown. ;(

Got to work on time without crossing a picket line.

Walking? UT shuttle?

a little of each

god no more showdown suuuuucks

had my first legal beer there!

Wrote my name on the ceiling when I graduated. :(

Go Windsor Park.

Was woken at four by the police chopper circling our block. police chased after five guys ho had shot someone off St. John's. They shoot at police with an AK-47, cops kill one in front of the Short Stop on Berkman. Others get away. Every exit and entry to our neighborhood is blocked off but they let me out. Statesman is showing Chief Acevado in the parking lot of my Randall's. Hey! Watch those home values!

Yeah, when I turned on 8 this morning I was hoping the strike was over, not that there were running gun battles in a neighborhood where a few of my friends live.

fuck.

heh, my roommate was complaining about the helicopters last night... so many ILXors in the neighborhood! our house was outside the perimeter though.

i'm going to call news 8 austin and ask them if it's safe to leave my house yet.

I assume so. My boyfriend finally left and went to work. (I was brave and just left.)

this sounds fun! can't wait to arrive!

this town! good times!

(although it is unnecessarily difficult to purchase a cellphone)

What you in town for boss?

astronomy conference/sucking up in preparation for postdoc application/hanging out with film festival ppls

i have sunburn from falling asleep on a bench on 24th st yesterday

just had a dish called "protein 2000" at veggie heaven

ahahaha

Have you been to Ruby's yet?

Sorry I was just there last night, have BBQ on the brain.

No Ruby's. Went to Trudy's earlier in the week.

Veggie Heaven was full of these guys today: http://www.socialismconferencetx.org/

And El Chilito in East Austin last night was excellent

Ha I know those dudes! I went a couple years ago. They love drinkin.

re: the socialist conf i mean

You are hitting the best caek.

I did not go to the Crown and Anchor, but I did have most excellent times and now really want the paying astronomy gig at UT. I will revive this thread in three months if I get it. Wish me luck!
