weather up

I rediscovered these photos of Weather Up from my trip to Austin back in October. Jenna took me here and introduced me to the Williams Collins and later, our kind waiter suggested his own version of an Old Fashioned with ginger and mint (at least, I think that's what they were).

It was still early in the evening when we went but it was quiet and charming and refreshing to be two friends reunited and catching up over some damn good drinks.

Austin was one of those cities where I experienced more in real life and less behind a lens. Not that I didn't want to-- the colorful murals reminded me of the Mission back home and I don't think I've ever eaten more (delicious) tacos.

I've heard that Austin isn't conventional Texas but I didn't believe it until I found myself driving around in a smart car on my way to pick up Asian fusion for lunch. It's a charming little town in its own humble hippy kind of way. I just hope I won't forget the colors and the vibrant people who gave them a home.
