We just stumbled upon perhaps the coolest thing that ties together our life experience in Portland (Keep Portland Weird), Austin (the original, Keep Austin Weird), and SA – it’s called Keep San Antonio Lame (!!!)
Here’s a highlight we’ve found on their MySpace page that gives a little introduction to what we’ll be learning about the city real soon:
You Know You’re From San Antonio When… |
You lost your virginity at Mission Drive-In. You know exactly how to get to the Ghost Tracks from anywhere in town. You think pro-choice means flour or corn tortillas. You’ve never been to the Alamo. You think a health drink is a margarita without salt. You think being able to read the Taco Cabana menu makes you bilingual. You used to live in a neighborhood you wouldn’t even drive through now. There has been a road crew on your street since before the Alamodome was built. You remember when Crossroads Mall used to be called Wonderland. You’ve been to Midget Mansion and the Fat Farm. You know all about the Dancing Diablo and the Donkey Lady bridge. You know that Wheatley and Brackenridge is the same school. You remember the Captain Gus show. Your subwoofer has twice the value of your car. You have three rodeo outfits but never have been on a horse. You are an expert with the brake pedal, but you have no idea what a blinker is. Your idea of culture is wearing a Hard Rock T-shirt. Your cholesterol is over 300. Your idea of a tropical vacation getaway is Port Aransas. You have had nightmares about the giant cowboy boots in front of North Star Mall. (these are in the blog header, BTW) You think the exit ramp is your own personal lauch pad. |
Also, we’ll be reading up on our Texas Ettiquette from Kinky Friedman and are VERY much looking forward to the Willie Nelson 4th of July concert with KK and Boolia/Bri-Bri in Austin.
