Back in Austin for the First Time

This past weekend I went back to Austin for the first time since graduating to catch the Texas v Nebraska game. Coincidentally, Halloween weekend happened to fall on the same days! Let me tell you, nothing compares to Halloween weekend in Austin on a football game day! In fact, I am making Halloween weekend the unofficial official Alumni Weekend. It starts with the game and spills right over on to 6th Street. Here are some notes from the weekend:

  • Matthew McConaughey is the unofficial mascot for UT...its a done deal. I think I saw the UT Co-op selling shirts with Matthew on it. During the game, I was sitting right underneath his box so we saw a lot of Matthew. In fact, at one point in the game, I proposed to McConaughey...he said no. Check pictures below to see Matthew.
  • UT Football games, hell all college games, are the best. It felt so good being back watching a football game with passionate fans. Whoops, for the most passionate fans. UT fans are bandwagon fans to the fullest. UT v Nebraska is a big match-up regardless of records. The game did not sell out. Sad.
  • College kids in costumes = pure entertainment. The best costumes that I saw were three kids dressed up like Tetris pieces, Chewbacca and The Wild Thing from Major League. I dressed up like a soccer fan aka a normal night out for me. I just put on my Aregntina Maradona jersey. Also, I really like the fact that girls can make any costume slutty! I saw a slutty nun, a slutty slut and a slutty Harry Potter...God bless Halloween.
  • 6th street is still the best party scene. It was so good seeing people my age having fun!
  • While out on 6th, a few people came up to me and asked me if I was the guy from Aaj Kal...that was really cool. I felt like a star. I told them that is me but I big timed by getting my entourage to beat them up...jp.
  • Here are the pictures from the weeeknd....

Who is the 4th guy you can barely make out in the last picture? He looks like someone I interned with this past winter.
