Last night I played at Meanwhile Brewing Co. here in Austin, Texas. It was my first time at Meanwhile, but it won’t be my only visit. This is a great spot! There’s indoor seating, and an expansive outdoor area with tables and an astroturf lawn. It’s both kid- and dog-friendly. And, though I did not have the chance to sample one, their pizzas looked really good. I’m definitely going back on a day off to eat and hang out.
The event was a Halloween party, with the highlight of the night being a costume contest for dogs. Yep, a doggy costume contest! There were soooo many cute dogs in the house, and so many great costumes. They all deserved to win! The dog who took home the big prize had a pretty great costume: she was Carmen Pugranda, a pug dressed like Carmen Miranda, who was brought onstage on her own mobile mini-stage! It was quite a sight. The runner-up was pretty great, too. That dog was dressed as butter, and whose owners were corn and “the juice.” Nothing beats a timely meme costume, am I right? Except Carmen Pugranda, apparently!




What did I play? A fun mix for dancing, drinking, and hanging out, sprinkled with some Halloween hits and, of course, a few dog-centric tracks.
