AM/Austin

I don't think I spent any money while at the AM in San Antonio, or at least I spent very little, but I promptly made up for that by blowing $450 in three days in Austin.  Not sure how I accomplished such an impressive feat considering it's one of the most affordable cities I've visited, but I know I had ALOT of fun and ate ALOT of delicious food and drank ALOT of tasty margaritas and heard ALOT of totally awesome music.  Suffice to say I LOVE Austin.

Hey all (and by "all", I mean Holli and Lizzy) - I am in San Antonio/Austin until next Tuesday so won't be posting my fascinating reports on my frivolous spending.  I know you're disappointed, but I'll be back at it soon.
