Something to do in Austin:

http://austin.about.com/od/austinattrac ... Austin.htm

You can see the bats in the evening from TGIFridays and other places to eat around the lake.

Wayne, check out Cedar Door south on 2nd toward the Hampton Inn from ACL for the original Mexican martini.

La Condesa, north of ACL $$ is known for best Margaritas in Austin. I'm gonna see if they make a "rattlesnake."

There's alway's Threadgill's. Zax is across the lake too. And Hooter's.

I've never been to El Arroya.

I have Let's go down to the El Arroyo have some tacos and Beer, Hell let ourselves go

thanks for the other ideas.. BTW.. What's a " Rattlesnake"?

A rattlesnake is what Jimmy says he had before the shows. During the Dallas preshow he shook his tequila on ice and said it was a rattlesnake.

La Condesa also has Mexican Street Corn.

I will be goofing around Austin and checking to get in line whenever the line starts. I really have no idea, but I would guess no later than 5. I plan on being in Austin by 10:30 or 11:00 in the morning

There is a new post on acl live on FB.

Not sure what the 21 is, but i think the events are either at the W Hotel, or the patio at ACL, the W hotel and ACL are an attached building. It is all basically all on second street or Willie Nelson Blvd between Guadelupe and Lavaca.

so im assuming the earliest the line can form is 3:00 since this is when the porch opens up?

Happy Buffett Day!

I get a SANTA hug today!

Do we all want to say 3:00ish at the ACL Patio? That is the earliest I can be there.

I really hope that the first show of this tour is as good as or tops the opening show last year in Tampa.
