I've heard that Salt Lick is quite good if you make it over that way. If I was going to Austin for anything, I would try to score tickets to an Austin City Limits taping. That is on my bucket list! I hope you have an awesome time. I think the restaurants that are doing things right are thriving. I was in one the other day getting some takeout and it was so loud I was about to have a mental breakdown. It wasn't great for me, but it was great for the owners as that means they are likely thriving. As for the other stuff! I'd be worried about the directions my mind would go. I was talking to my brother in law the other day about how I need to listen to more podcasts....

Thanks for that recommendation! I'll look them up. An Austin City Limits taping would be fun. I bet that's booked out a ways in advance. There's a few taco trucks in Austin that have gotten a lot of praise, I'd like to find at least one of those. It's insane how loud some restaurants are—we learned from our travels overseas that this is a uniquely American thing. We'd been to a lot of crowded restaurants in Europe and people tend to keep their conversations to the table. We also didn't see as many loud FaceTime/video calls taking place in public spaces like you see here. That's a pet peeve of mine. Podcasts can be interesting, in good ways and bad. Like any media I'm careful of what I consume.
No problem. I have never been to Austin, but I have some family that lives down there on my wife's side. It seems like a pretty progressive place for being down in Texas. It's also the new silicon valley from what I have heard. I started taking a look at some podcasts on Spotify the other day. I am not sure when I will listen to them, but I added a few to the list. Yes, loud calls are annoying, and tacos are always a good choice!
Oh cool that you have relatives down there! Yes, I've heard Austin is a kind of oasis in a lot of ways. It'll be interesting to explore the city and talk to people. There are so many good podcasts. I tend to listen to them when I'm doing my cardio or solo walks.
I found a Jazz one that looks kind of promising that I am kind of eager to dig into.
That should be a fun one.
