The Round Up Is Here

So the Round Up is here… I was gonna say that I was busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest, but I’m pretty sure I’m busier than even that miserable bastard. Maybe, just maybe I am as busy as a cat trying to cover a turd on a marble floor… Yeah, that sounds about right. I’m that busy.

Not Really. I’m actually farting around today while the rest of Austin is thrashin’ and stressin’… It feels good to be a gangsta lazy.

Anyway, as the the weekend approaches I figured today was as good a day as any to start listing all of the activities that can be enjoyed in Austin while y’all are here. I’m no expert on the subject and will almost certainly miss a few things (hell, I stole most of these times and dates from a post on the HAMB), so if you know of something I don’t have listed please reply to this post and make it complete.
