I know Lakeway very well. I promise you. There will be a woman in a bathing shuit. She should not be wearing. That's had too much to drink, I promise you. And there will probably be a guy too in a bathing suit. He shouldn't be wearing. That's had too much to drink. That's a horrible sunburn.
Yeah, he'll be wearing a bathing suit and with a T shirt on with the drawing of a really cut ripped a shirt.
Yes. Yeah, are the girls that wear the long ones with the girl with the great body with the bikini on the T shirt? Yeah yeah seen those two. So that's it's a great event. Though again that's that hot dog Wali's. I wonder what kind of food they have, Jie, you've got a list of some of the big fireworks shows happening around Yeah, you were.
Asking about it, of course. The big one is the Austin Symphony HB at vic Mantea's Shores or Audium Torque Shores. If you're a long time Austinite, that's pretty cool. That's free too. They suggest getting there early and ride sharing. Yeah, obvious reasons. Uh there's Stars Spangled Fest at the Long Center on the third well today.
Tonight at seven o'clock.
I'm sorry us a question real quick. The Long Center. Is there a big thing?
I've never I've been there once, it's been years, But is there like a big lawn to sit out on at the Long Side.
Yeah? Yeah, In fact, they're doing a whole summer concert series on that lawn. Oh really, it's just opposite Auditorium Shores and up the hill there's a nice, slowly sloped hill. It actually makes kind of a nice little amphitheater in a way.
Very cool.
All right, then you might see my daughter out there. Willie Nelson's Fourth of July at the Germania Insurns Empathy at Coda and uh that ends, that ends with fireworks, Bob Dylan Avett brothers man.
