Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

Happy Memorial Day!!

Bastrop River Company

What a weekend it’s been so far!  From group dinners to 90s rap dance parties to hitting baseballs in the park to eating the best chicken wings and pizza in town – one might have thought we accomplished it all by Saturday night.  But as the clouds in Austin cleared out and made way for super Sunshine on Sunday, we packed our coolers and headed southeast to the Bastrop River Company.

In addition to coolers filled with beers and snacks, we also brought a couple Dickie Boards.  Four people floated on tubes and two of us paddled most of the way.  At one point, Brett (a paddler) roped himself to all of the tubes and toted our herd down the river.  I can’t tell you how amazing it felt to be back on a board!

When we arrived back on land, we made sure to get plenty of pictures of Justin’s ridiculous America outfit Dickie Boards in the park.  And after lots of photo wonderfulness and hanging with the Bastrop River Company guys for a bit, we headed back to town.

I hope everyone’s Memorial Day is filled with lots of family, friends, and appreciation for what this day represents!

Bastrop & Blues

June 28, 2012 by Kristin

If anyone ever needed a reminder of how wonderful Austin life is, Blues on the Green is a good start.  It’s amazing how many people come out every other Wednesday to gather and get their rock n’ roll on.  Amazing.

Over the weekend, Billy mentioned that his friend Lee was looking for some ladies to hand out koozies for his new business at this week’s Blues.  And since I love to make cocktail induced commitments, I quickly committed Kara, Jodie, and myself to hand out 1,000 koozies in blazing hot weather.  Hey Kara and Jodie, you’re welcome!

The new business?  Bastrop River Company!  Bastrop offers tubing, paddle boarding, and kayaking a bit closer to town and at a fraction of the price as other river adventures.  Ohhhh and the best part?  Beer is legal in Bastrop!  A recent ban on cans could set you back a whopping 500 bucks if you’re planning on drinking on the Guadalupe.  And since tubing and cold beers tend to go hand in hand, I’d say checking out Bastrop is most definitely the way to go!

And as far as the thousand-koozie-task-at-hand?  Total success!  Not only did we have a blast and get nicknamed “The River Ladies”, we also managed to hand out every single koozie in less than 30 minutes!  We were pleased as punch and signed ourselves up for handing out another thousand in two weeks.

If you’re out and about at Blues on the 11th, keep an eye out for The River Ladies and be sure to get yourself some Bastrop swag!!!
