The 7th edition of the Lonestar Rod & Custom Roundup (a/k/a The Best Little Car Show in Texas) is going down this weekend and a few of us will be in Austin for the festivities. Per his previous post, Noteboom is already en route from San Jose. Ryan is commuting from across town. I'm headed down on Thursday.
If you're in the area, swing on down to South Congress and/or the Expo center to enjoy 3 days of cars, music, and weirdos. I'll be liveblogging some if time permits. Some scenes from previous years:
2006
2007 (Skip about halfway thru for Round Up, first half is 2007 Detroit Autorama)
BTW -- I've got a pretty full dance card right now but if there's enough interest maybe I can sneak in a quick tequila breakfast with Bolus and Iowahawk readers. BYOPB (bring your own paper bag).
Enjoy your time in The Promised Land. Too bad it's not the following weekend, when I will be bicycling in from Houston in the 2008 MS-150. I would surely let you buy me a cold beer after I'd burned about 14,000 calories during my two-day trek. Anyway, have fun, and Hook 'Em.

How about the Art Car Parade in Houston the 10th of May?

Donn's BBQ. Take Decker Lane (the road the Exposition Center is on) South about 2 miles until it dead ends at FM969. Turn left (east) and go about 2 more miles. Donn's is on the right. The best brisket in Texas. No shit.
Also for breakfast try their menudo.
