I’ve got a bunch of friends who live in Austin or come in from other parts of the state, and occasionally from other states, and it’s a gathering of friends who don’t get together often enough and never know if we’ll get together again. Good music, good food and drink, good time, basic formula. Often we do a little bar-hopping after, and here’s a lovely second-floor bar on South Congress Avenue. If you know, you know. If you’re headed to Austin, ask and I’ll tell you. What bar it is isn’t the reason I love this photo. It’s because friends, light, color, neon, happiness.
