Ribs for breakfast. It had to be done. Andy took us to a well known BBQ restaurant this morning to compensate for missing out on the classic Texas BBQ last night.

We arrived in Austin at 12am after yesterdays automobile incident, and didn't have much choice as far as dinner was concerned. We found one place which was still serving dinner late at night and the burgers they cooked up were great. We briefly checked out a live hip hop show, and then took a little late night tour around the downtown area on foot. It seems like a really cool place. An oasis of liberalism amongst the strange conservative surrounding areas that we have encountered so far on this trip.

Now we're on the way to Dallas in our brand new Canonball 2. We're going to hit the JFK assaintion tour first, and then the guys will be dropping me off at the airport where I'll be flying to Buenos Aires, Argentina for David Shulman and Fernanda Cohens wedding. I'm excited to begin the next leg of my trip, but a bit sad to leave the guys and miss out on the rest of the road trip. It's been awesome. We've driven through15 states in 6 days. It's been exciting and intense, but by no means relaxing. Fun times. I may drop another couple of messages from Buenos Aires if I can be bothered. I'm really looking forward to being able to relax and explore the city without any time constraints.
