    Austin shackers

    Shackmeet Reminder: Don't forget we are going to Casino on Saturday evening. CrustaR suggested 6:30pm because he has plans later that night. If you want to be added to my reminder list, SM me your cell number or your email address. Shut up, biskits.

    What is a good place for brunch on Sunday? Last time I asked for vegetarian restaurants I got this list: Mr. Natural, The Woodland, Mother's, Hula Hut, Red's Porch, Haiky, Veggie Heaven, Torchy's, Mandola's Are any of those good places for brunch? It doesn't have to be a vegetarian-friendly place because most places have non-meat options during brunch.

    How do you feel about Scholz Beer Garden? We're going there Friday night for a family dinner.
