out and about in austin, day 1
March 5, 2008
We ran ourselves ragged in Austin today. Some of the highlights:
- Chris Marlow was gracious enough to set up some time to connect with several other church planters: Jonathan Dodson, Jeff Mangum, Jeremy Self, Jacob Vanhorn, and Charles Whitmire. Thanks for your time…I hope there will be more opportunities to sit with each of you.
- Max was kind enough to sleep while we spent time driving around the city. He didn’t even get sick when we went in circles.
- Chuy’s…mmm. I forgot what it is like to have Mexican food that is, well, good.
- They have this pretty neat thing here they call, um, …the sun. (Here’s a wikipedia article so my Seattle friends can learn about it.)
- Flipnotics coffee was very acceptable to my Seattle trained palate. Progress Coffee? Not so much.

This is the personal blog of John Chandler. The wonderings -- and wanderings -- you will find here were probably true when I wrote them, but that doesn't mean they will be when you read them.

I’m jealous. Its freezing here in KY and the Mexican food is probably worse here than in Seattle. Did you find a good place for wings?

JW,
While I do love my wife, wings is something that I will need to experience on a more testosterone centered outing. I did note the presence of Buffalo Wild Wings, so even if there isn’t a local wing joint that is suitable, I will be alright.

Good to meet you too, John. I am encouraged to know more thoughtful, compassionate planters are coming to town.

Dude, I had another 3-4 hours in me. C’mon, what kind of life do you Seattle folks live? Slow pace or what.
Also, I may whine about my cafe issue, but at least I don’t whine about the coffee.
Shalom

God’s up to something! Glad you are coming to town, it was fun to see you live and off blog. …by the way, just for the record - Chris whines about everything and not just coffee - but we love you anyway, Chris

[...] warmer, and drier than Austin today. Apparently, the cloud and rain gods took offense to my comments [...]
