I didn't realize you were that close. We really don't have any excuses for not having gone on a double date.

Pwned.

I think I'll have to live vicariously through you for this one, Sabrina. Although now that you are there, if a conference came up in Austin I would at least look at it twice!

I know I'm late to the thread here, but I also just moved to Austin. I think everyone pretty much covered most of the places you should go except for Torchy's Tacos on 1st (there's one further north, but I forget where) and Redbud park, which is a dog park/place where you can go swimming. It has some cliffs you can jump off of and usually a rope swing as well.

And just for kicks I live near 35 and 71

Jeffrey used to live down there.

We are scheduled for snow tomorrow!

**Sean** · 12-03-2009, 12:00 PM

That would be nice. I wouldn't mind working from home tomorrow with my wife.

**beanbag** · 12-03-2009, 09:20 PM

I would LOVE it if it snowed. snow = no work = getting all of my stupid grad school stuff done.

Man all this talk about Austin and stuff is making me want to live there! I'm originally from Dallas, just north of...

It figures that once I move away from Houston they get a big snowstorm and the city I move to just gets flurries

IT WAS LIKE A BLIZZARD OUTSIDE THE CHIKFILA!!!! WHY WERE PEOPLE DRIVING!!! WHY WERE THE SCHOOLS OPEN!!!!

I'm not going to lie, I'm slightly bitter that I didn't get off work yesterday!

and...so that I don't make a new thread:

if anyone needs something to do next saturday or sunday evening, my church is having our christmas special those days. it's the christmas story set to music...sort of. it's a whole bunch of christmas carols blended together with some additional music thrown in and a worship section in the middle. I think it was written as a musical/living nativity type of thing..? anyways, if you have people around you who are curious about what christians really believe about christmas, it's a good opportunity to invite them and perhaps get a chance to share your faith. if you're interested, pm me and I will give you the details. =)

it should be fun! my church is amazing, my pastor is totally great, and if nothing else, you can come listen to me try to squeak out a first soprano line. (life-long choir alto here. ha.)

Snow!!!! Today was so awesome. Too bad my classes weren't canceled, but there were many impromptu snowball fights that made up for it.

**beanbag** · 02-23-2010, 11:34 PM

I was very excited to play in the snow. =D (and..my students did have class cancelled today, so as a result my work was cancelled too.)

I would've posted a couple of pics in the pictures thread, but for some reason my browser is refusing to open the attachments manager. I guess the world will never see the smiley face on my car windshield!
