Yeah, so I haven’t posted since February, big deal.
Recently, I’ve been making sporadic missions to Sixth Street after nearly ten years out of circulation. Last night I took my camera and captured what I believe to be a typical drunken night on Austin’s “Boulevard of Sin,” or whatever colorful description you might like.
Just before 2am when the bars kick everyone out, the streets look like this:
A few of the more faint-of-heart types (or those who are just plain smarter than the average drunk) try to head out before the circus comes to town…
Then there are the hungry drunks who stand around and gaze at the culinary delights that line Sixth Street… Fajitas, sausage wraps…
Pizza of several different varieties…
Dudes try their damndest to secure the evening’s lodgings…
Some apparently succeeding…
Others succeed at simply standing (with help)…
And then the hoards of drunken filth are pushed out of the saloons and told in no uncertain terms to GO THE FUCK HOME!
And Johnny Law swoops in on horseback to make their quota for the evening.
Meanwhile, the quest for drunk grub continues…
And soon, children, the streets of Austin, Texas are coated with a thick slurry of vomit and cigarette butts…
Not to fear, though… This guy show up about this time every night to hose the hole mess down the sewers. I caught him starting off his night’s work in the parking garage at 5th and Red River. Good job!
