Gig 'em Ags!!

Trounced OU, despite the cruddiest third quarter ever and injuries and penalties out the yang. You know you're on the edge of your seat during an entire football game when a full five minutes after the win and subsequent celebrating concludes is the first time you realize have to pee so bad you're not really sure you can make it to the bathroom. Just saying.

Gypsy Picnic was an awesome Austin-y event! Had a great time with Scott, Julie, Jim and the kiddos. There were a few details the event might think about working out, but it was the first year, so I think they did an amazing job. The food trailers were in a giant circle on Auditorium Shores, but the lines were very long and winding, so it was difficult to figure out where the end of your line was and to cross lines to get anywhere. They definitely could have removed all the trailers and tents in the middle of the circle to help that. Long lines took only about 10-20 minutes for most places, which is pretty good.

Ideally, they would have all 30+ trailers lined up next to each other and the waiting lines coming straight out with ropes between. Ahahaa. Impossible, but ideal. You're welcome, Gypsy Picnic planners. :)
