Default Taking my best friend to Austin for his bday...

What are some fun and/or crazy things for a 21 and a 23 yr old to do?

6th St. obviously, what else?
I have the Alamo DraftHouse on the list, figured it'd be cool to go watch a movie and have a beer, we don't have that here.
Other than that, clubs, shopping centers, bars, strip clubs, etc.

We wanna get fawked up, have fun, and eat some good food.

I heard that 6th St bars give u a free shot if its ur bday, this true?

6th street isn't the only place to go, but it's pretty much the only place to go. Y'all'll (y'all will) have a good time. As far as giving him a free shot, I'm sure when someone hears that, they will buy him one.

Well we'll be there Fri, Sat and Sun.

Friday we're going to see Wicked (Broadway show). Not sure what we're doing Fri night.

No plans for Saturday during the day, probably shop. Saturday night will probably be 6th St.

And no plans at all for Sunday, maybe the drafthouse.

Some great BBQ here, it is worth the drive
http://www.saltlickbbq.com/
-6th street for bar hopping
-Barton Springs was fun, but way to cold this time of the year
-not sure if it is bat season, but seeing all the bats under congress bridge was cool
-if you play disc golf, bring your disc as there are parks everywhere

I will try and find more things for you guys to do, just need to know what you are into.
My sister-in-law lives there and always has a lot for us to do when we are there

Added SaltLickBBQ to the list! That looks yummeh... and haunted.

What exactly is Oasis? I tried figuring it out. Looks like a bunch of dinner salons, or lots of different resaurants. Is it a club too?

get cab reservations for your 6th street experience, you will definitely get drunk and the Austin Po Po's love to sit and wait for 6th street closing to pop everyone they can leaving in their cars and you may get

We will have to use cabs as we're flying lol, no other way but it'll be better. I hate parking in big cities.
