This afternoon diane and I got back on a plane and headed to Austin. We’re heading to our cousin Josh’s wedding…
I’ve had at least three phases of visiting Austin:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the late 70’s I \u00a0used to head to Austin to get up to mischief when I was in high school. It was 168 miles from our door to the main drag in Austin.. Many happy memories from listening to music.. and swimming where we shouldn’t.<\/li>\n
  2. In the late 90’s I worked on several big chip projects down there.. One year I was in Austin 17 times ! \u00a0Worked super hard, made some great friends.. and really got in to the Austin music scene<\/li>\n
  3. In the lat 2010’s I started going down there for more fun stuff.: I gave a talk at SXSW, one at Sente, a couple of visits to the hill country<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In each of those phases I saw how Austin had grown.. and also \u00a0seen how it has kept its goofy unique culture.

    DIane and I found an airbnb in the south congress section of down town.. The airbnb wasn’t so great.. but the area had been totally transformed. When I used to go to the \u00a0continental club on SoCO.. the street was full of interesting second had and junk stores.. now it’s full of high end brand stores and boutique restaurants.. Still fun though

    Mission one on our trip was to eat at Chueys.. Love that place !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
