YKYW - Nursing Student Blog

The web developers for my new employer are based out of Austin, so I am heading up there tomorrow to meet everyone. We are in the process of doing a site redesign, so it will be good to be able to sit down and have a discussion in person. I love telecommuting, but being able to sit in the same room and discuss things does have benefits.

I’ve never really gone to Austin to STAY in Austin. Once when I was in college back in the day, I went with some of my tree-huggin’ hippie friends to a political march. To this day, I can’t tell you what I was shouting so enthusiastically about, but I had a grand ole time! Since I was underage, I didn’t get to do much. But - I did get to see the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue.

I’ve also gone to Hippie Hollow a time or two with friends. For those that don’t know, it is the nudist part of Lake Travis. Sorry Chumas, no pictures of that either Other than that experience, I’ve only been to a couple of gay bars, like Rainbow Ranch.

Austin does have a wonderful place to eat called Shady Grove. They have these drinks called “Shady Thangs” that will knock you off your feet! I hope I can find the place. Maybe April can help me…

Speaking of April, I will be playing a poker tournament on Saturday. April has been kind enough to host me on Friday, so I’m going to stay Friday night and add my dead money to the prize pool on Saturday. I’m really looking forward to playing in the poker tournament.

On another note - I still have a few spots open for Fantasy Football if you are interested. Don’t worry if you’ve never played before. I think we are all Fantasy Football n00bs. C’mon! You Know You Wanna!
