new is the new new
So much action... I've spent the last week or so moving into a new place - out of the Richmond and back into the Mission with @alpha_beta and @jrowland1976. I've a great sunny room that's just big enough to fit me and just small enough to avoid clutter. I'm also with two awesome little K9 beasts, Loki and Talula.
While there are already a few things that I miss about my old neighborhood, namely Nibs, it's nice to wake up to a 65 degree mid-morning rather than what felt like a blustery morning at sea. I'm also so much closer to so much more although I have to say that I will miss (and likely my body will, too) the long-ass rides to and from the 94121.
On top of the move, I also just returned form a quick jaunt over to Austin, TX. My friend grew up in the town and we decided in a somewhat compromised state to get tickets for my inaugural visit to the Lonestar State. That said, I very quickly realized that Austin is clearly not your typical Texas town. I unfortunately misplaced my camera before my trip so I've no photos but I had a great time meeting Jason's friends, attending the 2nd National Banked-Track Roller Derby Championship. I also managed to score a Media badge. So this is me blogging about it.
Other things that are awesome about Austin: Queso, the bike culture (although equally pretentious to SF's, just more spread out), Jason's friends, the fact that people have normal bodies (gay clubs are filled with normal looking guys who are not on steroids and are actually fun to talk to).
I'm definitely looking forward to a return visit - and to some of the folks we met coming out here.
Next stop: Juplaya!!
