Jessamyn came to visit this past weekend. Yay! One of the best things about having someone come visit is all the Austin-y things you invariably do. This weekend was no exception. Things got started Friday evening with a trip to the Oasis. I hadn't been since the fire and it was nice to see the place still doing well. Jess got the big drink with the souvenir glass and the sunset was gorgeous. Afterwards we went to Trudy's for a late dinner and Spider House for coffee. I think that was an appropriate first Austin night, don't you? Also, did anyone know that Spider House showed movies in the back area where the big stone table used to be? It certainly surprised me.
Saturday we eased into the day and didn't leave this house until the early afternoon. I did get to show off the home theater before we left. She might have been putting on a show but she looked impressed ... or possibly scared. Who can tell? After lunch at Rudy's, always a crowd pleaser, we took a little driving tour of Austin showing off the usual suspects: campus, the capital, Congress, 360, etc. The idea was to see as much as possible from the car since the weather was a little on the warm side.
Back in the summer of '98, Jessamyn and I both started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and subsequently got hooked on the show. It just so happened that on Saturday night Alamo Drafthouse had a Buffy Sing-A-Long. It was awesome. Bubbles were blown, Dawn was yelled at, lighters were used and broken, even Jerry, a non-Buffy watcher, had a good time. Man I miss that show. Afterwards we went to the Ginger Man for some tasty brews and then walked down 6th stopping at Casino El Camino for some liquor. Again, a good Austin-y evening.
Sunday was a laid back day. We got started late, had brunch at Cafe Java, and then went to Jerry's. Of course there was the obligatory driving of the Vette and starting of the Harley. I mean it's not a tour of Jerry's house without those. Then we just chilled for a while before Jess had to leave. It was a lovely visit and I hope we see her again soon.
Awwww. Don't we all look ... silly.

i deeply miss weekends like that.
Yeah, you all are always welcome to come down to the Austin area!
By the way, Chad, what was the second episode that they showed this time other than OMWF?
Vaths, we miss having weekends like that with you. Come down any time.
Taylor, they showed the first episode of season five, Buffy vs Dracula. It's actually a pretty good episode once you realize they aren't introducing the villian of the season and it's more a monster of the week type thing. Of course there is the WTF moment at the end where they introduce Dawn.
I enjoyed the dracula episode. And yes, there was the dawn moment.
Did everyone yell at Dawn when they introduced her?
Yes, Dawn was yelled at, a lot, but honeslty not as much as last time so that was a welcome change.
