New Orleans & Austin Excitement

What’s up Tumblinas!

So, my friend Ronen (filmmaker/photographer/adventurer/superhero) and I are about to embark on a Southwestern US adventure. It starts in Austin on March 14th (he’s doing SXSW, so he’ll be there earlier; I’m just meeting him at the end of it) and then follows some Texan and Lousiana roads to New Orleans, where we’ll meet up with my British friends (and possibly another really awesome writer!) from approximately March 16th - 20th.

I’ve never been to Texas before (unless you count the Houston airport, which I don’t)…and have been to New Orleans only once…

Anybody have tips on things to do/see in either city or along the way? More importantly, if you live along/near our route or in either city, come hang out with us! (You can e-mail me at  rachmouse|at|gmail|dot|com or Ronen at  ronen|at|ronenv|dot|com.)

See, here’s the thing: traveling, to me (particularly road tripping) is really about the amazing people you meet, conversations you have, and seeing a landscape through the people who inhabit it and understand it.

It’s all about connection! Come live the moment with us.
