As it is the Live Music Capital of the world, Austin will never want for a great music venue.  One of those venues is, apparently, the Nutty Brown Cafe off Highway 290.  They've developed a modified amphitheater, which is sponsored by a host of companies, including KVET, the local country station.  Every Wednesday night, KVET hosts a free concert at Nutty Brown.  We were finally able to make it out there tonight and had a really great time.  We didn't know the band tonight, for reasons we were able to discern when they started playing, but such is life.  The rest of the evening made up for the questionable tunes, though!

A few weeks ago I received an email from the Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity asking whether I'd be willing to sit on a panel to discuss what law school is like and answer questions from undergraduate students.  Because I like hearing the sound of my own voice and because I am always looking for an opportunity to give back to the University, I agreed.  Tonight, I sat on a panel with two other law students and discussed my experience in law school, what worked for me and what didn't, and the like.  By the end of the evening I realized how much I'd forgotten about the process like how anxious I was and how  I had no idea what I was getting into when I decided to go to law school.  All I did know was I simply needed to go.  It worked out for me, so far, and I hope our advice to the undergraduates this evening will help them.  Having become somewhat cynical about law school, it was refreshing to meet people who are still excited about it.
