Progress Coffee at Fifth and San Marcos in East Austin


Title:
Progress Coffee at Fifth and San Marcos in East Austin

Description:
Coffeehouses abound in Austin and many of them sell beer, as does this place. That makes them a bar too. This is a good one, I met the owner and you can see him walking towards me at about three quarters of the way through the video. Hell of a nice guy with a popular business. As an aside, I recorded a band from Norman, Oklahoma on their deck last year at this time. I'll attach it to this video. Caution, they are loud and distorted but they still sound good. http://progresscoffee.com/ http://www.wisegeorge.blogspot.com http://wisegeorge.blogspot.com/2008/03/progress-coffee-on-east-fifth-at-san.html

Dirty Martin's Kum Bak Place on Guadalupe by UT in Austin
I had been to Dirty's exactly once in thirty years although I have passed it about five thousand times. It is packed inside and out on a typical weekend. But I like showing these places on the off hours because I'm thinking historical record more than anything else. Austin is diasappearing or being infilled by mall like structures. The buildings across the street could be magnificent with the input of Art Grant Money and UT Talent. But, I'm just thinking outloud. Dirty's speaks for itself in ...
Scoot Inn - Oldest Bar in Austin Texas - Navasota and 4th
This used to be a run down Mexican Bar called Red's Scoot Inn. Now it is just a rundown bar, but a lot less run down. East Austin is slowly but surely becoming part of the City of Austin after years of decay, neglect and general apathy. I've been in love with the Eastside for at least twenty years and a lot of the change has been for the good, let's just not get carried away and gentrify everything. Red would be real proud of what his little beerjoint has become. SXSW2008 www.wisegeorge ...

Nina Simone - Lilac Wine
Nina Simone - Lilac Wine words and music: James Shelton, 1950 Lyric: Lilac Wine I lost myself on a cool damp night I gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Put my heart in its recipe It makes me see what I want to see And be what I want to be When I think more than I want to think Do things I never should do I drink much more that I ought to drink Because it brings me back you Lilac wine is sweet and heady, Like ...
