It's just any given Wednesday night in Austin, Texas. Come summertime this city blows up with even more things to do, like the Texas Music Series at Nutty Brown, Unplugged at the Grove, and Blues on the Green at Zilker, among others I'm sure. I had heard of Blues on the Green before, but in all my years in Austin, I had never gone. Blues on the Green, sponsored by KGSR, is a free music series scheduled every other Wednesday during the summer. Tonight, Kate and I rode our bikes to the park, found a spot on the lawn, and enjoyed the people watching and sounds of Bob Schneider, both of which were highly entertaining. I was surprised to see how many people came to Zilker for the music, although I'm not sure why I should be so surprised. We were pretty far from the stage, yet there were still hundreds of people behind us on the lawn. The crowd ranged from college students, to young families, to older couples, high school kids, and whatever one might classify me and Kate as. I can't think of any other city where a gathering like this might be possible without tensions or irritations running high. For such a big city, Austin really has quite the community feel on nights like this one.
