Dear People of Austin,
We recently spent a weekend in your incredibly great city and wish to convey our thanks to you, the people of Austin, for being such gracious, wonderful and weird hosts.
Both of us are Irish and chose Austin as a destination for the simple reason that one of us, Austin, shares a name with your great town. The purpose of the journey was to have fun and we put our collective shoulder to the wheel from the outset; we had a blast from top to bottom in the following incredibly great places: Joe’s Cafe, Austin Motel, Home Slice Pizza, Peter Pan Golf, the ABGB, Sixth Street, Magnolia, public parks and Barton Creek, Gospel Brunch at Stubb's … too many great places to mention. But the best thing about Austin is undoubtedly you, its people. What a great lot you are from the fabulous Felstead family to the many strangers we met traipsing around your walkways, highways, and byways. We laughed, we cried, and we laughed again during our two fantastic life-affirming and fun-filled days with you.
The highlight of our wonderful weekend was undoubtedly a Saturday evening spent in costume plucked from the rails of Marsha Laine’s Flashback Vintage store. The people our costumes attracted and the sense of shared joy the evening provided (we were playing a game whereby we had complete artistic freedom to dress the other person) lightened the load of living in a crazy world.
People of Austin, we love your blessed town and your luminous souls. You are all incredibly great. Keep Austin weird and if you get a chance to bring some of your easy livin’ over to the Emerald Isle get in touch at [email protected] and [email protected].
