Everything’s coming up Austin (and Houston, and Amarillo) in this checklist.
READ ‘EM
A journalist I worked with decades ago has written a book about Austin. I have not read it yet, but I can only imagine it’s as nuanced and thoughtful as the rest of his reporting.
PACK YER BAGS
Yellowstone recently shot and aired an episode (Szn 5, Ep 10) in Amarillo, which we drive through on the way to Colorado. Looks like on my next trip, I will be staying at the Barfield Hotel (an Autograph Collection by Marriott – aka points!) and having a drink at the Paramount Recreation Club speakeasy—though I may skip the 6666 vodka.
BUY ALLLLL THE THINGS
Two things I love. Together. TMNT x Texans.
Also in the Houston rapper Lecrae x Texans merch, my cousin needs this shirt: In Houston As It Is In Heaven.
AUSTIN
Just found out you can get free reblend paint? SO COOL!! There’s also up to $5K rebate for rainwater harvesting. I love programs like these that incentivize rather than penalize behavior.
