First Day of Music at SXSW and it just so happened to be St. Paddy’s Day too. Hung out in Downtown Austin with my old time high school pal, Andrew Dominguez, who just so happened to be the best host of a city we could ask for. Went to the Speak Easy Kabaret to pick up some free Jameson Whiskey gear and to check out the Stone Throw’s record label lineup (J-rocc, Madlib) then met up with our host’s boss at this lil beer bar called the Ginger Man.
Tonight we needed a place to stay, we had exhausted our welcome at Walmart and there were no campsites available so Thankfully, to Ryan’s quick thinking we posted an ad on craigslist asking anyone if they had a spot for us to park our RV and stay for a couple days. To our surprise, several people called us and had an open spot that they would let us stay in, but one lady in particular caught our attention. She was a cool woman from Choco Canyon, New Mexico and grew up on an Indian reservation. Her name was Karen Lee and she is probably the coolest person we have met on our trip thus far. She drives a cool old Honda scooter like us and has the most adorable boston terrier named CK. She let us keep our scooters in her garage and we parked our rig out in front of her house, for get this….FREE..absolutely nothing. She told us that she usally let’s bands stay with her but she didn’t get any this year, so it was perfect for us. Couldn’t have worked out better.
