austadbound: Start Your Week Off Shitty with Chicken Shit Bingo

That is a picture of a chicken who was about to make someone $114 richer. Chicken shit bingo is just like it sounds. You buy a ticket with a number on it, if the chicken deposits its load on your number ...... boom, you are a rich man/woman. The lower half of the woman you see in the picture is Ginny, of Ginny's Little Longhorn bar. On her awesome shirt is the the phrase gracing this post, "Start Your Week Off Shitty."

It was a hoot. Billy and I had the great idea to ride our bikes up to Ginny's. Not from my house, no no no, that would be too easy. We rode the bus down to the Continental Club, then got Billy's bike, then rode our bikes from the South Congress ALLLLL THE WAAY up to Ginny's. It was at least 7 miles up to Ginny's. At first it was just hotter than hell, and I was grumpy. But then it was fun. I loved getting some exercise, and Austin has had this random breeze blowing through for the last week or so. I would not call it cool, but it was nice.

This was the sight that greeted us when we arrived. There were as many people outside as inside. They had speakers hooked up so you could enjoy the tunes outside. Inside, there was that chicken in the cage, and a bunch of people intensely focused on the "shit." Others were enjoying the sounds of the band, Dale Watson and his Lone Stars. Of course there was dancing, two stepping and whatnot. During one of the set breaks, I met up with these amazing dancers. They were so friendly, we talked about everything from hurricanes to fly fishing.

Best of all was the free flowing lone star beer that everyone bought me. Yum! There is nothing better on these hot Texas days (and nights, and mornings, and evenings) than cold watery beer. I have developed a new love for all things lone star and bud light. When I am not drinking it, I place the bottle down the front or back of my shirt. I don't care that it looks crazy, it feels good, and tastes good too.

Here are some other fun pictures.
