Kinky Friedman, the original Texas Jewboy, takes us on a rollicking, rock-and-rolling tour of his favorite city: Austin.Maybe you want to know which restaurant President Bush rates as his favorite Austin burger joint. Or maybe you want a glimpse of Willie Nelsons home life (hint: Willie plays a lot of golf). Perhaps you want to get the best view of the Mexican free-tail bats as they make their nightly flights to and from the Congress Avenue Bridge. Or maybe youre itching to learn the history of a city that birthed Janis Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and countless other music legends. Its all here in The Great Psychedelic Armadillo Picnic, the slightly insane, amazingly practical, and totally kick-ass guide to the coolest city in Texas by none other than Kinky Friedman.This aint no ordinary travel guide, neither. Like most other busy cities these days, Austin is not very effectively traversed by foot, Kinky explains. You must understand that a walk in Austin is primarily a spiritual sort of thing. As might be expected from this politically incorrect country-singer-turned-bestselling-mystery-author, the Kinksters tour includes a bunch of stuff you wont ?nd in a Frommers guide, from descriptions of Austins notable trees and directions to skinny-dipping sites to lists of haunted places and quizzes and puzzles. So put on your cowboy hat and your brontosaurus-foreskin boots and head down south with the only book you need to get to the big heart of this great city.From the Hardcover edition.
