Ausin is a city that is well known for it's eccentric nature. In fact, I'd say that the city motto or slogan could be summed up in a phrase that is commonly heard and even found on T-Shirts in Austin: "Keep Austin Weird"
One of the many ways Austin keeps itself weird is through it's many festivals and happenings. From Blues on the Green, a free blues concert every Wednesday in the summer, to the Austin Bat Festival, celebrating the nearly 1 million bats under the Congress Ave bridge.
Today Tica and I volunteered at the Austin Hot Sauce Festival, which includes hot sauce entries from local kitchens, companies, and individuals alike from around Texas. We worked the hot sauce tasting tent where there were hundreds of different types of salsa and sauce. For payment we got to taste all of the salsa without waiting in the sun in the 1.5 hour line. Plus we got some really snazzy T-Shirts to boot. The salsa was awesome, and the bands playing were all pretty cool, which made for a very cool (yet really hot) day.
