Austin day 3...?

[dr4b]

Well, we have some downtime while trying to get everyone together so I figured maybe I'd write another short trip journal update. We got up this morning and after some confusion ended up going to some dive place with Ben and Kat and Jason and Julie. It was Star-something. The food was really good and it was good to see all of those people again. While I don't know Kat very well, she seems like a really fun person and is really easy to talk to. And they're going to the Mariners-Rangers game tonight up in Arlington, luckies! And of course me and Ben go back like 12-13 years so it's always good to see him. Jason and Julie are doing exceptionally well but the reasons for this are their business so if you read their journals you'll know :) It was good to see them and they gave us a ride back up here, too. We met up with Roman, Oren, Tom, and Brad, and now we're all chilling here at Brad's. We played some IIDX (Roman tried it out), then Brad let me try to play Unison, which is DUMB, and then Brad and I played Bishi Bashi Special :) It's such a silly game but nowhere near as much fun as with the arcade machine. Oren's playing GT3 now and I think we're going to head out soon to meet up with people.

The big irony of course is that I kept saying "If I go to Austin for the 4th of July it's going to rain, you know..." and people laughed at me and sure enough it was raining earlier this morning. Hopefully it'll clear up so we can do fireworks somewhere tonight, though.
