Part two at Thunderbird Coffee Manor. Check out part one here.

Listen in as JIB, Josh (little beard/@itzsprad), Aaron (CraftAustin/@elmachuca), and myself finishing up our beers and talking about more stuff.

Enthralling content, believe me.

We were joined by recent Statesman Social Media Award winner, Cindy Royal. She was my New Media professor at Texas State. She had some good stuff to say about social media, using it in journalism, and some cool sxsw stuff.

Check out her music blog On That Note.

It was great to run into her.

We also talk about Aaron’s recent plate winning at Flying Saucer… and why he didn’t invite any of us out to share in his celebration. Chump.

We talk about the next bike pub crawl and why they are awesome. More info on that soon.

The audio is off in this one. We tried to have Shawn call in and put him on speaker phone, but it didn’t work, and somehow I ended up turning up the reverb on my mic. Annoying, I know.

We will be recording the second Thunderbird sponsored podcast some point this week.

Listen to this episode for info on how to WIN A $25 THUNDERBIRD COFFEE GIFT CARD LIVE AS WE RECORD THE NEXT EPISODE.

Follow us on TWITTER for info on when and where to go and what to do to win.

FYI, this episode isn’t as crusty as the others, but still not alright to share with children.

Our apologies for the less than perfect audio levels (we’re recording at a bar while drinking beer, cut us some slack) and also sorry for talking about Twitter so much… we have no excuse for being so pathetic.

Anyways…

Much thanks to Chris and Ryan of Thunderbird for the beer and the support (emotional and otherwise).

Thunderbird, where you come with full intentions to be productive but you just end up hanging out and drinking beer, and that’s OK.

Cheers!

Last month we went on our second bike pub crawl. We rode, we drank, and then we repeated. Several times.

Here’s some photos from the night.

If you think this might be some action you wanna get in on, keep checkin the site and we’ll post info about another one soon (hopefully at a time when just the thought of biking won’t make us cold…)

Muchos Gracias to Crown&Anchor, Draught House, Flying Saucer, and Billy’s on Burnet for fueling us with a wide variety of great brews all evening. And also a big thanks to ATXBS.com for getting the word out (and thus supplying a good percentage of the riders)

So we had a Bike Pub Crawl raincheck ride a few weeks ago… and it rained again.

At least it wasn’t cold this time. Just wet. Really wet.

We cheated too. Shawn and I drove our bikes to Dog & Duck just in case anyone showed up to ride in the rain… and people did. And it was fun. Just wet.

We drank at Dog & Duck till about 4:15 (heard we just barely missed the Independence crew), then had a nice leisurely ride through campus to Crown & Anchor. Here our pack of five turned into a pack of SEVEN plus a car!

We stepped up our game and decided from that point on it was worth documenting.

The ride to Draught House was rough and we lost a few riders who later joined back up after they swapped their wet clothes for dry ones and bikes for another car. Yeah! TWO CARS on the BIKE Pub Crawl!

On the ride to Flying Saucer we lost that second car and a third rider (all of the original riders). Two of the three rejoined later.

On the whole, it was fun, wet, automotive, and beery. But mainly, WE DIDN’T CANCEL THIS ONE!
Thanks to everyone who came out and got wet and drank beers with us, it was fun. And thanks to the bars who tolerated a soaked group of cyclists on a Sunday afternoon.

We think we may make this a reoccurring thing. I don’t think any other bike groups have called Sunday afternoons. Maybe every second Sunday? We’ll let you know.

Enjoy the video.
