The sign foreshadowed the joy to be found inside!

DJ-P's surly side took over.

J prepared herself for outrageous dancing with sweaty hippies.

Mmm...

Rastafari!

Tall-J and the Rastafari, a new series this fall on ABC!

On the way back to the table, Tall-J met a happy hippie ;)

The libation equation - 3m x 1h2o = delicioso!

DJ-P used a little European magic to make a taco disappear ;)

The hero took a fall!

"I'm sorry, mam, but the Kentucky Derby's over and, no, we don't serve mint juleps."

Summer is a special time in Austin ;)

The hero got tackled! Oh well... at least her headlights were on.

"Einmal ist keinmal!!!"

Cold bucket baptisms are the best!

Before diving head first into the Best Thing Ever, the crew made a pit stop at Texas Chili Parlor.

You could hear D's tongue frying!

The universal sign for "OMFG! That's H-O-T!"

After suitably torturing the newbie, it was back to Tree House for the real deal... Kölsch!

It knows what you crave.

Ol' Dad was flanked by Kölner coolness.

J, Mama and D shared a moment of beer induced bliss.

Babycakes did what she does best ;)

The glory of XXX chili ies within!

C put in an order for XXX chili, much to the amazement of parents and immediate bystanders.

The Force is strong in this one!

"I feel a little tingle right here but it's not that hot..."

After the chilifest, we watched the carnage as Spain conquered Italy. Afterwards, Babycakes and C after fired off an email to El Diablo asking him to come over and staged an anticipatory lightsaber duel. P kept his head down while reading El Diabo's reply, which said that he was busy in Málaga at the Euro 2008 afterparty. R2D2 was busy vacuuming the floor in the background.

Babycakes was ready to brave the Patchouli in her fabulous hat ;)

Tacos are long and strong at Maria's Taco Xpress.

Mama and Babycakes pose with a positively groovy tortilla.

Beer + Tacos + Sweaty Bodies + Dirt Floor = Hippie Church

Thanks for the warning ;)

Hippie chicks know how to stay alive.

Somehow we knew this was our kind of gospel ;)

Business-hippies enjoyed the air conditioning inside.

The warmongers tried to break free of the chains of love.

Where hippies retire in style!

Playa-Pimp and Shady let onlookers know they best be steppin'.

Mama shot Ol' Dad the universal hippie girl holla.

It was a stressful day, so we decided to ease into the evening with a little help from the good folks at Hula Hut.

Texas Martinis and flautas took the pain away... just like Slash.

Babycakes entertained herself by harassing the local wildlife.
