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.

My amigo JJ has been in town since Monday. Yesterday, I had the deep honor of introducing him to Zoka. Can there possibly be better coffee that Zoka?

On the other hand, lunch yesterday was another attempt to find good wings in Seattle. Seattlites rave about WingDome, so I thought I’d give it another shot. Just like the first time I went with Zach a year ago, it just wasn’t able to satisfy my wing cravings. Can there possibly be any good wings in the Northwest?
