In between catching Phantom Planet and trying to complete the always elusive they-are-playing-at-the-same-time-but-at-different-venues bill of Two Gallants and The Spinto Band I decided that I was hungry. What should I get? I know! The Best Wurst!

Earlier in the week a record label client stated when he first started coming to Austin, he was certain these carts of pork stuffed goodness would immediatly give him Botulism upon eating.

…you walk down the street and start talking to the hotel shuttle operator named Freddy. This dude was too cool! He started talking to me while I was sitting down checking messages and then next thing I know, I’m in his shuttle getting a ride to a venue 16 blocks away while getting the lowdown on where the best jalepeno cheeseburger in Austin is.

Big props to Freddy for getting me where I needed to go and not having me wait for a cab. Next time Ice Cube is in town, I’ll try to get you some tickets!
