FR: Finesse does Austin
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 10:25 pmAlright.... I didnt post me coming down there sooner because.... well... it was a random thing. But yesterday on the 2nd me, a fellow PUA from Dallas and one of his lady friends make the "day trip" to Austin.
RED BULL!!!! I need some. I am out. So I go to the gas station to get one and wait for Fenix.
Fenix: Yo.
Finesse: Sup?
Fenix: We're pullin in now.
Finesse: Cool.
Me and my Red Bull make our way outside and hop into the tiny Corolla.
I immediately start reading for my government test I have to take when I get back..... I made a 52 out of 60. My A in this class is almost secured.
We stop in.... umm... well... the town is irrelevant, I cant remember it anyway, but there was a Rudy's. It is supposed to have the best breakfast burritos in the world. I would have to say that Fenix was right. They are amazing! It was like an orgasm in my mouth.
I get facebook closed by the cashier before we leave.
Back on the road again. Ipods are the greatest invention EVER! You would think that the phone is or maybe something else other than the Ipod, but you'd be wrong.... it's the Ipod, yeah.... the Ipod. God Bless Apple. While they are listening to various rock'n'roll. I am listening to my beloved RnB and reading.
An hour later.... we arrive in Austin. Time approx. 12 noon.
We park at UT and visit the bob bullock mueseum.,,, then the capitol.... we do the touristy stuff. I like the capitol. I like the picture oppurtunities butI have seen it before. Im here for the. She has never seen the capitol building, and he's from Florida, and only been there like once. I of course am taking LOTS of pictures..... you know... for blackmail purposes. You never know when a picture will be useful.
BTW, Fenix.... you flipped the camera off.... what would your mom think? uh? would she appreciate her baby boy flipping the camera off? no.. thats right I don't think she would.
Back to the trip.
Side note... I have no jacket. I have a long sleeve shirt and a t-shirt as an over shirt. Later on I would regret the no jacket thing..... and so would my nipples.... my nipples hate me now. It is semi cold and windy, and we are walking everywhere.
There is almost NO one on 6th street or walking around at ALL. Except the bums. I love the bums.
Stop by Jamba Juice.... I love Jamba Juice.
Visit, Katzy's great sammichiches, excellent fried pickles. We then decide to fatten ourselves up further and go to a pizza place that was recommended to us by someone. Frank and Angie's. Great pizza. We decide to walk while we eat it to burn off the calories as we consume yet another meal. Bunch of fatasses we are. Gosh.
After the pizza and mid-walk I have a GREAT idea. I want to take a couple of shots with my camera of the Austin skyline, and I want to do it up close and personal. We find a 25 story building, pass the front desk people, and to the elevator, I push 24. Once we're of the elevator there are NO windows available for my camera viewing pleasures. So I find the stair well and decide to go to the roof. We see a sign that says,"Caution do not conduct roof checks during high wind advisory days." Never once does the wind cross my mind until right then. My heart starts pounding, my mind is going a mile a minute. I ask myself, "Am I going to fly off the building because of the wind?" I assert myself, "No." I reach for the handle and then BAM....
I get stopped, "Wait!!!" "If you open that door a light will shine on the security console downstairs that will alert someone that we are up here." Fenix said. We decided it would be best if he went back downstairs and called me once he was in a position to watch the gaurds. So I wait.
and wait
and wait... I never recieved a call. I decided I should be able to run out there and get back in really fast before anyone was the wiser. I would be going down as they were coming up and everything would be good. So I go for it.... I grab the handle, and push. "Click click." Its locked.
Well damn. All that work for nothing. I decided to try the 24th floor, because it had roof access too. Nothing. Locked.
I still have not recieved a call from Fenix.... What the hell??! My pocket vibrates as I am heading back down the stairs. I try the door to get back into the building and out of the stairwell.... but its locked. WTF? I go down to floor 23.... locked.
22... locked....
and on the 21st floor, I see Fenix and his lady friend..... 21.... locked. Damn.
Finesse: What the hell? Yall been up here this whole time?
Fenix: Yeah.
Finesse: damnit lets try the next one.
20th ... locked. We check all of the doors down to the 15th floor. Fuck it. theyre all locked...... Seriously. If there was a fire in this place and people tried to get to the roof they would die. EVERY DOOR from 15 up was locked. Major fire hazard.
By this point we got tired of checking the doors and decided we should just go all the way down. ...... 24 stories .... wow. That... sucked. My legs were like jello once we got to the 1st floor. Needless to say we went out the back door.... not the front.
And, we still had to walk, the car was no where near. Time: 4pm.
Walk around a bit, hustle the chinese shop lady.... find the hat shop with a shit load of fedoras..... a friend of mine loves them... me.. not so much so I send him a picture of hat heaven.
Ride the armadillo... my brains are scrambled now.
and we visit a vintage clothing store. I have to say that I am hooked now. we found some zebra stripped platforms, and I found out that a large from the 70's is actually like a medium in the 00's. I will be back.
6pm rolls around.... and finally we start seeing younger people. I start asking them were a good happy hour place is. I got
Docs, Sherlocks, Blind Pig, and a couple other places, All these people I asked were at an HEB, and since we wanted to stay on 6th street, we did not venture to red river, and we went to the Library.
not a bad joint.... the pool tables look to have been thrown up on a couple times.... but hey. $1 drafts.... hell yes. Grab a round.... then I open a 6 set. 3 guys, 3 girls they recoomended me some more places. Went up stairs to play some pool, and kill some time..... watched OU get their asses kicked.
We went to Coyote Ugly... if I kind find any sets I can at least oogle some hired guns. Flirt with one of the bartenders... they dont have any Red Bull there.... WTH? but she does... I use my cunning skills and persuasive eyes to con her out of some red bull. I thank her and make her dance for me again. We leave after a couple of drinks.
Then we started walking around some more..... Theres a theme here somewhere..... We ate more pizza at Roppolas(?) good pizza, I had a second slice. Walked further, and I finally found at least a 2 set. One had grunged hair opened her. Her friend was a cute little blonde... but then she smiled. We then walked and talked to.... some techno place.. I cant remember the name, but that place was pretty cool.... empty, but cool. Kick ass sound system. one of the people I open in there say's its supposedly the second best place for drum and bass in Austin.
We leave. and head back to the car were it takes 3 HOURS AND 10 MINUTES to get back to Dallas........... I dont know why. It's only a 2 hour drive, but I was asleep and thats all that matters. Get back around 2:30am ish
The day after new years is a horrible time to go sarge and try and be social at all, but hell.... live and learn. Next time Ill give you Austin guys a holla.
