Austin, Texas


So we planned on leaving for UT Austin after a night at Arizona. Taylor called an audible, and we scored (little Graceland reference). Instead of staying a night in Zona, We decided to leave at 10pm and drive throughout the night to Austin. 12 hours. Plus a few stops and changing time zones turned into a 15 hour trip. 

We stocked up on energy drinks and 5 hour energys. Bad choice for Tay. 2 hours into the trip he is tweaking out while driving. Im talking shaking his head, fidgety, couldnt control it. We had to pull over in the pitch black of Arizona while he got out pumped out 30 pushups and did some jumping jacks. Never seen anything like it. Kid cant handle a little caffeine. 

Before we got into Texas we were dangerously close to the Mexican border. We got stopped at border patrol and they interrogated me for not being a US citizen. Crazy stuff. 
(Seeing the sunrise was pretty cool)

New Mexico smells like absolute shit. Stopped for gas and it was the grossest thing weve ever smelt. 

I couldnt tell you how many bugs we splatted on the windshield on that ride. Every time we got gas we had to scrap the blood and guts off. Taylor got the biggest one. 

Got some great authentic Texas BBQ from a place called Rudys. They called us rookies and did some weird chant. But the meat was delicious. Finally made it to Austin where we staying with one of Taylors friends. Took a tour of campus. Mark got his standard shirt. Snuck into the football stadium cause were badass. Went back and showered for the first time in a while. Felt great. 

We started pregaming for the night and then got a ride in a pickup truck to 6th street. Im talking 8 kids in the back of a pickup. Apparently its legal in Austin. We thought it was sick. Got to 6th street which is a famous street of bars. First place we went to let us in. Taylor got a splinter in the bar. What a knock. Who does that? Pretty classic night. Mark got a dog from a street vendor. He says " it was really spicy. I was dying dude. It was good tho. Paid 5 bucks for it. "


Got some nice breakfast burritos this morning. Now on the road to LSU. Stopped at this place called Buc-ees. Unbelievable toilets. Marks thoughts on the toilet "number 1 ive ever been in. Unbelievable. You get your own room. Granite floors. They took care of you. You had your own kings throne". 

Driving to Houston for lunch. And then to LSU where were staying at the Theta Chi chapter. Should be a good night.
