I finally had a chance to eat at Alinea in Chicago

I finally had a chance to eat at Alinea in Chicago. Me and a few friends flew up here basically just to eat dinner there. It’s a 3-starred Michelin restaurant, one of the top restaurants in the world, and at one point was the top restaurant in the US. All of the food was amazing and it was such a cool experience!

Alinea is doing a special temporary outdoor setup called Alinea Air, so we got to be part of a pretty small group that gets to experience it before they go back to their normal setup.

I decided to put together a resource for everyone

I decided to put together a resource for everyone who is still coming to Austin despite SXSW being cancelled. There are still going to be lots of interesting people in town and we should all coordinate to meetup. On the site, there are links to my events list (doing my best to keep it updated), a few different WhatsApp groups, and a Twitter account (hashtag #StrandedInAustin). The goal is to organize the community here and continue to support and promote local businesses and startups. Check it out at StrandedInAustin.com!

So nice to live in a city where you can see great

So nice to live in a city where you can see great live music pretty much any time you want. Even better if it’s on a rooftop drinking mimosas 🥂 @nickswiftmusic .
