Back from Austin... (w/ pics)

Well, the trip to Austin for the record convention was a big success. I bought a bunch of reissue LPs of New Orleans R&B and Soul that once graced my collection but have regrettably left me for one reason or another. I found nearly everything on my wants list, had some great BBQ and picked up a pile of 45s too.

Retail shopping...


The Haul...

I'll be back soon to post some of what I found...

Beef ribs at the Ironworks?...the roll of paper towels on the table is a giveaway....and not that many places serve beef ribs..[the pork are good too]..

I go to school in Austin, when i'm not causing trouble in N.O.

Good eye! Yes, that's ironwoks. We had a good time down there but aren't too knowledgable about Austin. Would you have any better recommendations for bbq and record shopping for next year?

BTW, I lived in N.O. from 1994 until Katrina chased me back home to Dallas...

Next time make the drive to Lockhart, TX (about a half-hour from Austin) and hit Kreuz Market. It'll blow yr mind, and demonstrate how the real deal don't need sauce.

Of course, for BBQ in Austin you should go to The Salt Lick

Kreuz market keeps coming up in my conversations with people on this topic. That's starting to sound like a must!

Is the Salt Lick vegan? Because I only eat vegan bbq...

Damn, sorry I missed ya at the ARC - I'm sure we passed each other in the 45 bins at some point. Looking forward to more finds...
