Lake Travis
The Oasis is a huge bar overlooking Lake Travis a half hour away from Austin on yet another windy road. The bar is as large and tackily decorated as Seacrets. During the off-season, it’s as desolate as the Great Salt Lake.
Carsickness headache.
Lake Travis
It was 22 F in Austin when we visited. Those are icicles hanging from the bucket.
Actually, the decor is worse than Seacrets.
Lucky Lizard
Some embrace Austin’s weirdness, while others exploit it. We went to the Lucky Lizard, which is part store, part museum, and all weird. Its Museum of the Weird, which is the modern version of a Dime museum, showcases a few freak-show items – few real, most fake. We even got a tarot card reading. Unless you’re into that stuff, I would save yourself the money and just check out the store, but be prepared for the hard sell on their t-shirts.
Bird: Real; Gator: Fake.
Fiji Mermaid: Fake
Two-headed cow: Fake
Lizards: Real and squirmy.

6th Street
Austin is the Live Music Capitol of the World. Or so they say. Our friends recommended we visit Stubb’s, but they didn’t have any live shows on a Wednesday night. Instead we went to Friends and Dizzy Rooster. They had decent cover bands, but I’m sure we would’ve seen something better if we were there on a weekend.
Ads don't lie.
Dear Austin: Parallel parking is not supposed to be front-end first. Learn how to park properly. It’s not that hard. You can always try again. (Ours is the red car actually close to the curb).
