HOPE Farmers Market

I have a confession.  I am starting to fall in like with the East side of Austin.  Yes, it is filling up with hipsters, but they are people too, and they haven’t completely taken over yet.  This slightly rainy Sunday, I visited the HOPE Farmers Market.  I planned on walking through and maybe getting a coffee or something.  Then I ran into Jackie Venson on stage – and hold it – the guitar music and vocals are amazing.  I ended up staying for both of her sets and enjoying her performance.  I did also get some coffee and had some fun walking around the Market.  There were lady bugs, flowers, guitars, music, fountains, vegetables, coffee, tea, monsters, people, and dogs.  Hurray East Austin!

Gourdough’s Public House

I went to downtown Austin tonight for a DJ Concert and decided to give Gourdough’s Public House on Fifth Street a try. Of course, this place is awesome. I had the Cubano Donut Sandwich, Fried Yukon Chips, Warm Cream Corn, and a Vanilla Porter to wash it all down. They have a daily happy hour, and the staff is super friendly, so go check it out if you have the opportunity.
