After being pulled down by a massive jetlag, I’ll try to sum up my travel from Germany to Texas’ capital, Austin. Here’s the timeline from March 10th:

03:33 leave Nuremberg train station

06:43 arrive at Frankfort airport

10:50 flight AA71 takes off from Frankfort airport (delayed by 20 minutes)

14:30 flight AA71 arrives at Dallas Ft. Worth

16:20 flight AA416 takes off from Dallas Ft. Worth

17:19 flight AA416 arrives at Bergstrom airport in Austin

On the flight from Dallas to Austin I had the pleasure of meeting Markus Rill, a musician from Wuerzburg, who’ll be performing at SXSW Music. He was picked up at the airport by a friend, who was so kind as to take me to my hotel (La Quinta – Capitol). Thanks Maria.

After my arrival I took a stroll down to the Convention Center to pick up my badge. On my walk back to the hotel I took a detour past the Ginger Man Pub, where the famous “Break Bread with Brad” was in full swing. But it was just too crowded for my jetlagged self, so I walked down the famous 6th Street, to get some more taste of Austin’s crazy nightlife. It really is crazy here.
