Last weekend my pal Dae flew in from Los Angeles for a visit. We had a great time running around town and doing stuff with Ernesto, Chris, Jonathan and the rest of the gang. When he went home on Sunday, I was pretty tired and completely full of food (from two BBQ dinners and IHOP for breakfast), but it was worth it! Here's some of the fun highlights:
We walked eight miles (according to SportBrain) around the UT campus and visited one of Dae's old colleagues. The chemical engineering building was cool - tons of papers tacked on the walls and bookshelves full of the latest issues of Polymer magazine! We also went to some campus museums and saw some dinosaur bones, then played some frisbee in Zilker Park (close enough to watch bikinis at Barton Springs!). We rented a pontoon boat and drove around Lake Travis (one of Dae's favorite activities), stopping to swim and eat some junk food. After the lake we ate some BBQ and took a two hour nap! My jazz combo Stella had a gig while Dae was here, so Dae borrowed a guitar from Chris and sat in on a few songs. Ernesto sat in on his sax, so it was a Day Jobs mini-reunion! Chris played a song with us, too - it was one of the most fun Stella gigs ever.
