You would not believe how peeved I was last year that I missed crawfish season here in Austin, Texas. Well, as peeved as you can be about leaving the country for a year - but still - you get my point. Every year there is a small window (March - June) where crawfish boils are… Continue reading Hometown Tourism: Crawfish, My Little Mudbugs
This is part of the #WinosOnTheRoad trip series with Diana of D Travels 'Round as we drive across country to start her new chapter in life. I wrapped my arms around Shaun and refused to let go. My hands entangled themselves around the bottom of his shirt. I inhaled into his chest deeply. While we… Continue reading Road Trips: Look Out the Freaking Window
After a total of 17 and a half hours of driving, Shaun and I made it to Keystone, Colorado in a weird dream -like state. Did we really just convince ourselves it was okay to drive to and from Keystone (from Austin, Texas) in a 4 day weekend? I'm starting to be concerned at the… Continue reading It Feels Like Keystone was a Dream
“Aroooooooo!” Hundreds of wolf howls could be heard echoing across the hillside and close buildings. Either we’re surrounded by a pack of animals or a pack of crazy mad men. I guess in Austin you’re a little more likely to find the latter. Welcome to the Full Moon swim at the Barton Springs pool in… Continue reading Hometown Tourism: Barton Springs Full Moon Swim

With Erica still out on the road with Diana, I'm having to keep myself entertained. So, tonight I thought it would be fun to have a modernized, psudo-LAN party with a friend that I haven't seen in quite some time. And while setting up our laptops side-by-side on a wireless network it isn't quite the… Continue reading Travel and Gaming: The Best of Friendships
This week Erica left me unsupervised while she is road-tripping across the country with Diana of d travels 'round (you can follow their adventures on twitter with #winosontheroad). I know a week and a half isn't a very long time, but it's the longest Erica and I have been apart for pretty much our entire 13 years together.… Continue reading The Unsupervised, Gaming-Fueled Man-Fest
You heard that right. That sad depressing donkey from Winnie the Pooh that keeps losing his tail? There is never a shortage of things to do in Austin. Yeah. We celebrate Eeyore's birthday here in Austin, Texas. While we do try to “keep Austin weird”, there is actually a bit of history behind the celebrations.… Continue reading Hometown Tourism: Eeyore’s Birthday
