Cool (dance) clubs? Restaurants? Malls? Fun and games? We're both drinking age but I don't know if that'll be in the equation.

Wait wait wait wait WAIT JUST A MINUTE!

When is this spring break? 'Cuz if it's the week of March 13-18, then you're heading there during South By Southwest, which is the biggest music geek orgy known to man.

Dude, if you are in Austin on 3/17 and don't swing by Colin's pad, you really WILL end up in a coma! Come to think of it, there's a greater than zero chance that being at Colin's place might result in an alcohol-induced coma, so you've got some extended down time coming your way, regardless.

Proof that Bobbo clearly missed his true calling as a salesman.
