Nail The Cocktail's Guide to Austin!
It was my birthday last week on the 28th of February, as I'm sure you know because I talked about it since the 1st...and I may still be talking about it now a full week later. Regardless, I spent my golden birthday in Austin Texas and it was lit. Obv.
I decided to do a food and drink tour because what else would I do to celebrate my life? No really...I'll wait. But I don't want to bore you with words so watch this vlog I created. What the hell else are you going to do for the next 10 minutes of your life? I thought so.
