A whole bunch o people headed down to Austin this weekend to see Fu Manchu at Emo's. I was one of them. I got to get the fuck outta the dfw area for a whole 27 hours or so. Sweet. Best part was I DIDN'T DRIVE!! well cept after the show when everyone was drunk. more on that later. We got to Austin and checked into the hotel. The lady at the counter was a bitch and stupid. JOY! Red Roof Inns are dumps BTW. Hung out there for a bit and then headed down to The Drafthouse Pub. They drank, I watched. Drove down to 6th street and hung out at Coyote Ugly for a bit. Interesting place, but rather annoying after about 20 minutes. Went over to EMO's. I haven't seen a show there in probably 8 years or so. It was awesome and so were the chicks. Hot ones everywhere. Anyways there were two opening bands Lions and Honky. Both were rather good. Between sets i was talking with one of my best friends and he told us him and his wife are moving to California next month. Huge surprise. I'm happy for them but it will suck to see him go. I've known this guy ever since the 10th grade. Anyways Fu Manchu came on and kicked serious ass. Super loud and great. After the show Johnny and Amy were trashed but wanted another beer. So we walked on down to the next bar and they proceeded to buy some beers and then just drunkenly hold the beers and not drink them. I must mention this is almost 2am and the last time I ate any kind of food was before 2pm. I'M Fucking HUNGRY!!!!!. And so are Tim and Minh. We drag the drunks back to the car where Johnny tries to tell me he's good to drive. I tell him to give me the fucking keys cuz he ain't driving, I am. I'm sober. very very sober. It's Amy's car and she is freaking out that I'm driving, but she is waaaay drunk tells me to switch seats she's driving. I ask her if she knows any other jokes and proceed to tell her to shut up. So we get the drunks back to the hotel and then we meet my brother at Kirby Lane for some much needed food. I had kickass eggs, bacon, homefries, toast, OJ and coffee. It was sooooooooo good. I had decided that i would crash at dave's instead of the hotel. I was gonna end up sleeping on the floor at the hotel and fuck that Dave has a spare mattress. Crashed at his place finally fell asleep around 5 am or so. Minh called around 1030am to ask if I knew where the car keys were. They thought I had them. Turns out when we got back to hotel before going to eat, I gave the keys to Johnny and since he was trashed, he forgot that he actually had them in his fucking pocket. Dumbass. Got up and went to the Omlettry, another kickass diner in Austin. Had some Gingerbread banana pancakes. Damn they were goooood. And then we left. Driving back we got stuck in about 4 areas of very shitty stop and go traffic. One of them featured a completely burned out tour bus. Just the metal frame, everything else was GONE. Rubberneckers suck. Well I';m finally home writing this. Gonna go BBQ at Timmy's. I think they're gonna tell everyone else that they are moving. See ya laters.
