If you enjoy a good hamburger, go to "hopdoddy" on south congress. Its actually across the street, and up a little bit from continental club. The line may look long, and out the door, but its not that bad of a wait. Its also worth it. The salt lick is in driftwood, about 25 minutes out of Austin. The drive can be very nice going out there, you get to see some good hillcountry. If you drive up to Austin from S.A. then you should stop at the Bucees in New Braunfels to see the "cleanest bathrooms in the country", also they have some ridiculous like 85 gas pumps. Honestly South Congress would be a very good place to walk on a nice day, in Austin. As for night life in Austin, Rainy street would be a cool place to go and have drinks. THere are a couple spots to eat out there as well.

You beat me to it GW. X2 on what Weld says.

Greg/Rob good call, food was excellent. Funny short story, had no idea it was in the same parking lot as the Round Rock AAA baseball team, A kid I coached for many years and best buds w/my son since about age 8, Aaron Cunningham has played in the bigs up and down for the past 5-6 years for several different teams played there this year, missed him by a day, had to call and give him a little sh=t.
Greg, great call on SW.

Thanks, next time the boat tour first to get acquainted w/surroundings. Whole walk pretty fun, food and drinks plentiful!

Off the subject, there is a MONSTER gas station called Buc-ee's in New Brumsfield just north of San Antonio that is amazing! It's like the size of a Walmart and doesn't have big truck stuff. They have bathroom attendants that clean the stall every time it's used! Yes, I am easily impressed!! LoL!

Jimmy, we stayed on S. congress and had an absolute blast, downtown 6th also sweet, music everywhere!

On a side note, Buc-ee;s,,,,,I'm also easily impressed

SW took us out to dinner at an amazing Italian restaurant (Thanks again SW, above and beyond the call of duty). Had a great time w/you and your girlfriend. Greg Weld called it, very good people, made us feel very comfortable. Also, a couple of days later got to go to SW's daytime hang out, THE GREATEST MANCAVE OF ALL TIME, ALL TIME! Did I also mention, outstanding taste in vehicles/play toys. Thanks again, had a great time.



me/SW and the red ta, beautiful car.

Yes glad you got to hang out with SW he is a great guy and has an amazing Trans Am collection going on.

Also good to hear you managed to avoid Brian's advice on BBQ and had a good meal.
