My SXSW trip 2012

Super late again.  LOL.  I know that SXSW (South by Southwest) was weeks ago, but work has been crazy and I haven’t had the energy to update posts.  Blurgh.

So, here it is, weeks later.    My SXSW trip.  We got into Austin mid afternoon, and after dropping off our stuff at the Driskill (GORGEOUS hotel, btw) we made our way towards the convention center.  On the way, we stopped by the Mooseknuckle to grab lunch.  I got the BBQ brisket sandwich and the Hubby got pulled pork.  We ended up liking the other’s sandwich better and switched.

Both sandwiches were good.  Little disconcerted that they took our credit card when we placed our order and kept it until we finished eating… but I heard that’s common for bars.  The wait staff was incredibly friendly, which was nice.  Food took a little longer that I would have thought considering they only had about 5 things on the lunch menu to choose from.

Korean spa food

My neck has been killing me lately, so I took a trip to the King Spa & Sauna in Dallas.  It’s a Korean spa (which is VERY different from your American spas).  For one thing, you can’t be shy about being naked in front of strangers.  But, you’re only naked in the bath area, and it’s segregated by men and women.  The main area with the saunas are co-ed. 

How to buy meat from scary Mexican guys

No, the Mexican guys weren’t scary.  At least I didn’t think they were scary.  I have been hearing my coworkers rave about this place, La Azteca, for a while now.  They’re always talking about going to La Azteca and buying fajita meat.  They claim that they have the best fajita meat in town, and now I have to agree.
