Danny & Kevin: Austified (Day 3)

Day 3 was, without a doubt, our most active day and, in turn, our most fun day. Danny and I were unleashed into the streets of Austin without our hostess, Gina. And my how we tore it up. The day started at a free party that was serving up straight whiskey (Jameson, to be precise) on the house. I hadn't eaten breakfast that morning, so two Jameson's in and I was feeling good and sloppy. Check out our adventures from that point on.



After heading back to Gina's place for a quick refresher period (where I snoozed for about 20 minutes and pounded down a few Blue Moons in order to maintain my goal of staying drunk the entire day), the three of us headed out for the night. We knew the Smashing Pumpkins were playing a small venue and Gina had some connections that could possibly get us in. But we had no clue whether those would come through. So we were just looking for a night of whatever adventure and trouble we could get into. Find out where we ended up in this here video. Also, SPOILER ALERT: I did stay drunk the entire day. And it was fantastic.

Danny & Kevin: Austified (Day 2)

Day two in Austin started with what we were told was a half mile walk to the flagship Whole Foods for breakfast. Our stroll was immensely pleasant as we walked along Lady Bird Lake where people were out, birds were chirping, party boats were cruising by. But after a while of walking, we began to realize that the definition of "a half mile" was much different in our host Gina's head than it was in ours. Two and a half miles later, we finally arrived at the Whole Foods. It ended up being perfect though because we were able to see what downtown looked like during the day. We may have been exhausted when we finally got back home, but the walk was worth it. And we were able to catch a little nap before we got ready for the night. That was about all we needed to get into party mode.

Danny & Kevin: Austified (Day 1)

Since we arrived in Austin around 7pm, you'd think our first day would be short and uneventful. Well your thinking skills are awful if you thought that. Instead, we crammed AS MUCH as we possibly could into the night. And we extended it for as long as we possibly could. I don't think my head hit the pillow until 6am.

Check out our arrival in the beautiful city and our fun around town during night one.

Brace yourselves. Danny and Kevin got Austified.

My best friend Danny and I spent 4 days in Austin, Texas for the South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival. Which turned out to be not just a festival of music, but a festival or drinking, wandering, socializing, dancing, food trucking, flirting, flip booking and drinking. I'd suggest that SXSW put all those in their tagline, but they might not think it's catchy enough.

I'm not much for spoiling things, so I won't go into detail about the weekend here. Instead I'll let my day by day video recaps take care of that. And to whet your appetite for said videos, please check out this short trailer of our adventure. You will regret it! ... wait... won't. Sorry. You WON'T regret it!
