We're in Austin!

Quick notes: I haven't had time to read my flist for the past three days; if you've had momentous news and I've failed to comment on it, please forgive me; I'll try to catch up later, but we didn't bring our own computer and don't want to hog our friends', so I'm not reading everything.
We've seen Liz and Joe already, and we went to the rehearsal tonight of our former band. There is a tornado warning in effect, and a forecast of 3-inch hail. I didn't really MISS weather reports like that, you know.
Our rental car is an incredibly bright red; our friends Larry and Jeanne from the band have nicknamed it the Tomato Express.
Rob, you'll be glad to hear that practically everybody here is wearing flip-flops; we noticed that almost the instant we got off the airplane. (I will get around to offering my congratulations to landley and fadethecat later, I promise. Sorry we had to miss the wedding!)
Wednesday will be a visit with squirrel_magnet's dad, among other things, as well as squirrel_magnet's birthday. Happy birthday, you!
