Our First Visitor!

Last weekend Eric Chu (a friend of Michael's through Jerimy in LA) came to visit us in Austin. Seeing as how we don't know our way around too well yet, we didn't make the best of hosts, but it was great to have company! The South By Southwest festival (aka SXSW) was going on, so there was plenty of action to be seen around the city. Next year we plan to get our act together before the conference, and find lots of good free shows, etc.

Our camera is dying on us, so we haven't been able to get very many good pics lately. But we're thinking about upgrading this weekend. Eric is a very talented photographer and graphic artist, check out his flickr page here.

Well, nothing too exciting to report: we're still getting settled, finding our way around the city, and trying new restaurants and stores. Our favorite place to eat is the Texas Roadhouse, a chain owned by Willie Nelson. When you come to visit, we WILL take you there! Really puts CA steak houses to shame :) The best part is they serve you peanuts in a bucket and you just throw the shells on the floor.

Our favorite new place to go is called the Central Market. It is like Trader Joe's only ten times bigger and better!! A couple of nights ago, we went there to shop and had dinner in their little cafe. And wouldn't you know it, an adorable 5-piece blues/honkytonk band set up and played. That is Austin for you. Michael took some video with our stinky camera. If you come to visit us here, we'll take you there too :)
