I had an incident today that reminded me why I love South Austin. While I was driving I noticed that I needed an oil change, so I went to the local Kwik Kar. Normally getting my oil changed is a bit of a whip. I was greeted by a cool looking chick who was very helpful, but not in a small town sort of way but in a hippie sort of way. After a few “no worries” I was also helped by a young guy who walked me through some of the things they were doing to my new truck. Then there naturally began a very interesting discussion on the latest shows coming to town and some philosophical issues. When my car was finished the friendly hands-on care continued.
It is always neat have interesting philosophical conversations while getting your oil changed. I guess there was nothing that special about my oil change experience, but it was a little reminder about why I love this town.
By the way I am becoming more of an Austin-ite because I consciously choose locally owned joints, especially for my coffee. Keep up the good work Ruta Maya and Hill Country Coffee.

Good to finally meet you last weekend. Good to hear you are supporting local business too.
Holy cow! I came across your blog a while back and I checked back today to see what you've blogged lately, which I enjoy, and come to find out not only do you live in Austin, Texas, but South Austin. So do I. Too cool! What a small world. And thanks for the info on the U2 book. I too love U2. I'm going to have to add your blog to my reader so I know when you post. Thanks and keep on keeping Austin weird. :)
