Day Six: Austin

Hey look, my name's Sam Korda and I write up-to-date blogs. Butthole


When we first began this project, Easton was the first place we really thought of. Easton hosts an eclectic group of people in a shopping environment where they have oodles of free time to just wander and hopefully ask us questions. But, being the Easton nazis we all know, when we asked if we could set up our stand, we were met with some interest, and then a resounding no. However, we did find a way around said road block by writing "I will answer any question honestly" on the front of white t-shirts.

As we made our way though Easton, we were asked very few questions, which leads me to believe people aren't terribly attentive or interested in what others are wearing. Eastoners asked us such insightful question as: Do you like llamas? Why do cats sound like they're dying when they mate? and What movie should we go see today? While we stewed over these brain busters, we did have one of my favorite questions so far: What is your most cherished memory. It seems quite simple and mundane, but that was the first time someone has asked us a question like that. Usually people ask about the most embarrassing moments, and sadly I was able to respond a lot quicker to the embarrassing than the most cherished.

 Tired from walking, we decided to pop inside Brookstone to sample their message chairs While sitting and being pampered, we had a great conversation with a Brookstone Employee named Patrick. We talked about public vs. private schools, the feel of the north vs the south (since he was from texas), and how we thought Obama was doing in office.
