Oh My! Texas!

Another 8 hours on the road and we finally arrived in Austin, TX tonight for a 3 day visit with our son and his fiancee.
This is the second weekend of Austin City Limits festival, so the city is buzzing, packed, and traffic getting into Austin was… actually not so bad!
We are too tired to venture out of our place this evening so we’ll have to wait till tomorrow to get an idea of what this is all about, as bystanders of course, because we don’t have tickets for any of the events.
Anyway, the drive from Little Rock, AR to Austin provided some exposure to local flavor and surprised me in some ways:
I didn’t get it at first and my husband had to translate. My knowledge of american slang is still severely lacking…
I guess this is another way of saying “I’m from Texas and I’m cool”
The driver didn’t even bother to close the driver side door while shopping! I imagine this is part of the ACL festival’s cool dude attitude…
Stay tuned…

Deep in the heart of Texas! Enjoy your time on the fringe of the festival. xox
