Yes indeed it's sun time, sun time

Just got home from an exhausting, but delicious and fun Austin trailer (aka food cart) tour. One unexpected aspect - we all ended up sunburnt! We did find a bunch of delicious new places to eat that are inexpensive because their overhead is so low. The nice thing is each trailer creates their own fabulous outdoor atmosphere, and several may share one atmosphere. One of my favorite had a fire pit that overlooked a creek. Can't wait to write about it over at PSD!

A couple thoughts for next year before I forget. One, a two day event might be beneficial. We didn't get to try all the trailers today as we were too full to continue after the first five or so. Second, WARN the trailers that we are coming. Most did well with this, but one wasn't aware of the expected volume. They actually were refunding money because the wait was too long, and personally told me they had only expected a group of 15. Had they checked the facebook page they would've seen 351 confirmed guests. That's only the ones that bothered to RSVP on facebook. Hopefully that particular trailer will take me up on my suggestion of offering their trailer tour prices to customers for another day, since a lot of people ended up not being able to try them even after waiting half an hour like we did. Third, remind to people to bring sunscreen! I'm going to be saying ouch quite a bit the next few days. Fourth, have a map at the check in point. It would actually be inexpensive to create with each trailer contributing a little to have their advertisement on it as well. It also would serve as a GREAT future reference to attend the trailers again or try the ones you might've missed.
