Spent a LONG weekend in Texas for a radio conference/birthday trip... because my birthday is TUESDAY, AUGUST 12TH if I haven't mentioned it already!
We stayed right in Downtown Austin which was cool because it's the capital and near SO MANY things. These bridge views were phenomenal.
Got to see so many cool radio peeps who I've spent years listening to and learning from. Shoutout Ricki, Kevin Rolston, Elizabethany, JJ Kincaid (I met a bunch but here's the ones in the photos)
Here's my baby in our hotel pool.
We found this club called 'Mala Fama' on Sixth Street- which by the way is INSANE! So active on a Saturday night. I was taking a shot in this photo and some guy bumped into me so Alyssa caught the drink actively spilling on me and it's hilarious.
Some more radio friends, Payton from Phoenix and Bree from Chicago, with Alyssa and I at a Spanish club called 'Tex Mex & Chill'.
We could NOT leave Texas without trying on cowboy hats. They have them in so many corner stores and bodegas.
One more photo from a cool lounge on Rainey Street. Wanna hear something crazy? Why are we at a lounge club in Austin, Texas and KARE 11 is playing on the television!?!? So odd, Alyssa and I thought we were in a simulation because 1. Why is MN news playing in Texas?? 2. It's so funny because Alyssa works at Kare.
We finally got home on Sunday and picked up our Ava girl from the sitter. I think she recognized us but was confused at first.
That's it from me! If you need any recs for an Austin, Texas trip feel free to steal from here or DM on Instagram @vontleak. Also, check out my podcast, @morningcommutepod. No new episode because I was gone but you can catch up on clips and recent episodes.
