austin is a great little city.

however, when youre walking down Guadalupe St. and you've actually taken a shower & put deoderant on for the day, you feel a LITTLE out of place.

.

yesterday was easter & i completely forgot about it.

after Nicole & i left the hotel where we stayed, we decided to go to the legendary Stubbs BBQ joint. its where sxsw takes place, one of the places, and a lot of great shows are there, as well.

when we walk up, theres a small group of folks, and we're like ..."uh.."

and the lady at the door says "do you guys have reservations?"

"no?"

"well, its Gospel Sunday Brunch, so let me get your name, and it'll be a few minutes.."

"sure...tiffanie."

"ok."

so as we're standing around, we can hear the gospel band getting down inside...and nicole looks at me, and she says: "OH! Its EASTER!" and i just exclaim with a simple: "godDAMNIT!"

we look at the stuff displayed in the window, flyers for upcoming events, menus, etc...we see a sign that reads:

"GOSPEL SUNDAY BRUNCH!

14.95 PER PERSON, NO COVER FOR BAND!"

i dont care how goddamn famous the place is....we refused to pay 14.95...so we left, and couldnt find a damn place open.

we ended up eating at Taco Cabana.

never a place i want to find my money being spent.

sometimes, i hate austin.

sometimes, i like austin.

but mostly...i hate austin.
