The Great Psychedelic Armadillo Picnic: A "Walk" in Austin

The Great Psychedelic Armadillo Picnic: A "Walk" in Austin (Crown Journeys)
- Used Book in Good Condition
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 Nelsonâ€™s 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 youâ€™re itching to learn the history of a city that birthed Janis Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and countless other music legends. Itâ€™s 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 ainâ€™t no ordinary travel guide, neither. â€œLike most other busy cities these days, Austin is not very effectively traversed by foot,â€ Kinky explains. â€œYou must understand that â€˜a walk in Austinâ€™ is primarily a spiritual sort of thing.â€ As might be expected from this politically incorrect country-singer-turned-bestselling-mystery-author, the Kinksterâ€™s tour includes a bunch of stuff you wonâ€™t ?nd in a Frommerâ€™s guide, from descriptions of Austinâ€™s 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.
