I had been to Main Event this Friday night. It is an entertainment place, where we can play a number of funky games like video games, rock climbing, laser tagging, not to mention bowling. I like the racing games. Most people like them, because they get to do what they would love to do on the real roads, like riding a 18-wheeler smashing up all cars in the path, driving a Ferrari at 250mph, carelessly hitting the curb on the side. Many like the shooting games, where they get to kill enough people to make an army of a small country. Later we hit the bowling alleys. The lane next to ours was occupied by a bunch of girls in 10-12 age group. Every time one of the girl bowled, irrespective of whether it was a strike or a gutter ball, they all used to start a celebration ritual, which included a little dance and more importantly, a high-pitch scream at a volume high enough to scare the cattle in nearby farms.
At beyond 1 in the night, Manju didn't want to end the day yet, so we went to Mozart's, which is a coffee bar, located on the banks of lake Austin. It is close to downtown and is one of the tourist attractions in Austin. It has all the old-world charm intact and the wooden benches on the lakefront offer one of the best places for spending a casual evening chitchatting with close friends. Since it is close to UT Austin, a number of students spend time there, some doing their homework and some surfing the web on the free wifi connection Mozarts offers. A place not to miss if you are visiting Austin.
