Austin Texas, and the follow up on our first hitch hiking trip

Our friend Nick, from http://www.couchsurfing.org/, told us good spots to hitch from, and dropped us off about an hour outside of Dallas next to an on-ramp. I pulled out my guitar and played happy diddies while Lauren waved our AUSTIN sign wildly and with much gusto, and literally no more than ten minutes went by until someone stopped. We got picked up by a friendly old gentelman by the name of Les, who sold unregulated electricity to people with previously regulated electricity. Needless to say, the ride was rather dull, but very much appreciated, and still quite exhilerating just because the simple fact that we were hitch hiking.
Anyways, he dropped us off in a city called Round Rock (which is about half an hour outside of Austin) at a Taco Bell. My good friend Joseph Winters (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=664289800&ref=ts) from SLC who happened to move to Austin the day before I left for the road, came and picked us up from the Taco Bell. We went to the largest Whole Foods store in the world, literally, because apparently Whole Foods started in Austin, and got sushi, and then me and Laurn went and walked around downtown Austin for a bit. There is a road here called 6th, and apparently every weekend they shut down like four blocks of this road and people just roam from bar to bar to bar, but there were hundreds of people... drunk!... wandering!... In the middle of the street!... It was crazy and wonderful and foreign all at the same time! Next weekend we are going to go street perform there and, hopefully, but without much doubt in mind, make a good sum of money.
Unless something arises, we are going to be in Austin for about a week, and head to Houston his next Saturday or Sunday for my first show there!
