ryan, have you been to Austin? the night scene there is incredible. you can hear good music every night of the week. and the restaurants are so good....everything is there. they have tons of barbecue places, seafood, etc. and as i said, you're only going to be about a 3 hour drive from us!! Shar and i will drag you all around the hill country too.......better ask, do you like to hike?

you're so welcome. that's what friends are for.
