I’m back.
Luckily – I’ve worked so many hours this week……
Anyway.
A short timeline – I staggered awake yesterday, and set out in search of a breakfast place in Austin. I picked The Omelettry. I was not disappointed. It was pretty much the quirky like diner type of place (cash only) that I would expect to find in Austin. Excellent food. I had a Popeye’s Favorite (spinach and bacon) Omelette and a side of ginger pancakes. The pancakes were great – although ended up weighing like cement on my drive back to Corpus. Before the comedy show I did go to Antonio’s Mexican Restaurant. No great shakes – Migas con Fajitas was pretty good although the place was deserted.
Back to Corpus I went. These road trips have really made me detest fast food. Really. Rather than leave and get home earlier, I stopped for a sit down at Jason’s Deli. Had a really good Chicken Panini – the bread was not greasy with butter as most panini sandwiches are. Protein in belly, drove back to the office. Got home at two am this morning.
I just watched the Mitch Hedberg DVD, and while it was short, I did find the uncut version of his TV special really interesting. The set of material that he had prepared for the special itself – was pretty much bombing. It wasn’t until he pretty much said, “Well, that was it for the special, I’ll keep telling some more jokes for editing”. That’s when he really started to flow.
Austin has got a lot of funny comedians (and comediennes) – the show was a lot of fun, my throat hurts from laughing – which is always a good sign.
Time was well spent discovering things about Austin. I can’t wait to go back.
