The Travel Channel Was There, Were You?
If you couldn’t find anything to do last weekend in Austin, then you must not have tried. Between the Custom Hot Rod Show on Soco, Texas Relays, Louisiana Swampfest, Urban music festival and any number of smaller events and shows, our city was on display.
Apparently, the Travel Channel’s Samantha Brown was in town to take advantage of the chaos. Our spies spotted them at Threadgill’s WHQ and walking South Congress with Threadgill’s owner and Austin legend Eddie Wilson.
Word has it they also shot some great scenes at the Continental Club and with proprietor Steve Wertheimer.
Other spots they hit included BBQ in Lockhart, the bats and Zilker. We didn’t get out much this weekend, so thankfully we can see what we missed when it airs!

It is so nice to see you saying things that are cute and sweet instead of mean and nasty.
I will look for this TV special that you mention.

Errr…. Tarnation! If I wanted cute and sweet, I tune into the Disney Channel.

Craig, I think Mr. APR was concerned about having discussion of Threadgill’s and Lockhart BBQ juxtaposed with a comment that involved fecal matter.
Now, I must must say, “tarnation” is a cute word, and it goes well with the sweeter turn that this blog has taken.
