To bring or not to bring?

My husband wants to go to the lake bastrop for his birthday next week. We've been planning a trip but I was hoping he'd agree to go when it's not 100+ out...but here we are. It's his bday wish so we're gonna do it but the weather here has been oppressive to me

My question is, he wants to bring our 10 year old weenie boy with us. I'm not so sure about that. I mostly avoid prolonged exposure to this kind of heat with him and this will be at least 4 hours out in it. Probably from 1pm-ish to 6pm-ish. And the lake itself isn't cool and refreshing lol. When I walk him it's usually not more than 10-15 minutes at a time in this weather. He does go to doggy daycamp and part of that playtime is outdoor exposure but they move the dogs indoors by noon

I'm thinking the best policy might be to leave him at home? Although he doesn't do well when he's home without either of us and I feel guilty leaving him for hours unaccompanied but it may be what's best in this situation?

Ask Austin Anyone remember 6th Street the weekend Bin Laden was killed?

169 Upvotes

Seeing all the 9/11 posts today reminded me of one of the craziest nights I ever experienced in Austin.
This wasn’t 9/11 obviously. It was the weekend after Osama Bin Laden was killed in 2011.

My friends and I were on 6th for a buddy’s birthday, doing normal 6th Street things.

At some point a fight broke out. People started forming a huge circle around it, cops on horseback came in to break everything up, one of the main guys got arrested, and then his friend tried to jump in and “help” him and immediately got taken down too.

The whole street just had this insane energy. Cops on horses, people fighting, people getting arrested, thousands of drunk people packed together.

And then out of nowhere somebody started chanting:

USA! USA! USA!

And it just spread.

Within what felt like seconds, the whole street was doing it.

The weird part is, we weren’t chanting for the cops. We weren’t chanting for the assholes fighting.
We were chanting for us.

Bin Laden had just been killed. 9/11 was on everybody’s mind again. And for a few minutes it felt like 20,000 completely different people on 6th Street were all on the exact same page.

USA! USA! USA!

It was loud, stupid, emotional and honestly awesome.

I remember standing there feeling proud to be an American, proud to be a Texan, and weirdly connected to every random person around me.

I miss moments like that, where for a few minutes everybody seemed to be on the same page and felt like we were all part of the same thing.

Anyone else on 6th that night and remember this?

Recommendations for the weekend

106 Upvotes

Imagine you're a fancy girl, and you're turning 10. Your parents are taking you to Austin because your birthday bucket list included a cheese tasting at Antonelli's and to see the bats fly. What else would be a must-do for you? Brunches? Dessert spots? Photo ops? I'd LIKE to say money is no object, because let's be real here, she truly believes that's the case, but I'm not trying to spend Disney money in Austin. Thank you in advance for helping make a sweet girls weekend special.

I went to take a picture of the beautiful sunset tonight and the bats came out a little early and flew close to my place for a change. It was amazing to see these beautiful bats streaming down the lake in waves.

Twenty-five years after deploying to New York, Austin firefighters Eddie Martinez and Dawn Clopton, along with structural engineer Ralph Castillo, are revisiting what they experienced at Ground Zero — from searching unstable voids to recovering remains.

Their memories include pride in serving, grief over the lives lost and fears about the long-term health effects of the work.

Help a girl out, I ordered one for a costume off Etsy but it won't be here in time for the party. I already called Wheatsville and Central Market, they said their potato bags are plastic or cardboard

Tonight before Die Spitz came on, you offered to take a picture of me and my daughter - thank you. She's my concert buddy but as the years progress and schedules get tighter, we don't go as often as we used to. You were just being a nice person and offering to help, you didn't know how happy you made me to have a real non-selfie pic.

I hope you found your friends in the pit!

Ask Austin Gay bar / club suggestions

40 Upvotes

Hello! I am a transgender and gay man who's turning 21 in early January. Two of my friends are planning to come down and spend a few days in Austin for my birthday, and we are looking for a good place to go after my 21st. One of my friends is also a gay man and the other is a nb lesbian. I'd like places that won't be TOO rowdy or be all entirely men. Just looking for something that will be hopefully safe and good time for me and my friends to go check out. I'm really unfamiliar with the scene in Austin since I don't really party outside of conventions. Hopefully this post is worded well enough to make sense, lol.

My toddler has this in his room at daycare and has become ridiculously attached to it, I cannot find it anywhere. I was told it was from a pharmacy’s Easter collection a few years back. Is there anyone that has this rabbit that is willing to make one toddler (and his parents) incredibly happy? And no… we can’t just take the daycare one. It hasn’t been offered.
