That's the night that the lights went out in Austin

We went to Geek Bowl! What an accomplishment, yet what a failure.



We certainly didn't dominate like we had hoped, in fact, we finished somewhere in the middle of the pack.



The pomp and circumstance of the tournament was a lot of fun. Paul and I enjoyed a couple of hours of Austin entertainment before the Geek Bowl and feasted on pizza and walking around.



After the Geek Bowl, we hi6 6th St. which is the mecca of Austin's live music.



We managed to be in one bar for 15 minutes before 90% of the power in downtown Austin went out. The streets started filling up with hundreds of young kids because the bars they had been in went dark.

Luckily the bar we were in retained 40% of their power and the two guys in "the band" kept singing and eventually they had to quit. We decided to walk the 5 blocks back to our hotel and lucky us, the power was out there also.

We got a few beers from the convenience store and called it a night. Not much to see or do when it's dark.

We leisurely drove back the next day.....because of course.......Paul had to work.

It was a nice, short, mini get away.
