I’m back in Austin today and tomorrow before heading back Sunday — a short trip but long enough to squeeze in a couple of my favorite things — mainly food and friends.
I worked remotely today at my friends’ place, with a Thundercloud Subs lunch of course. After a post-work walk we met up with some other friends at Sour Duck Market, a new place for me that had uncrowded outdoor seating and a truly excellent chicken sandwich. We kept the vibe going after dinner and went to The Butterfly Bar. I thought that place was also new to me until I got there and realized it was also the Vortex where I attended an interactive show years earlier (that was very cool and weird and I wish I remembered the name of it).
Laughing with friends was incredibly cathartic as the conversation turned satiric and bizarre and legitimately might have resulted in a D&D one-shot I’m going to run for people set at The Rainforest Cafe? So you can only imagine.
Here’s to good friends and good food and a sorely needed reset this weekend.
With Love,
Natalie
