Halloween Nostalgia: Year 2000, 6th Street in Austin Texas

in #funny6 years ago (edited)

I just came across this old collection of photos that I took back when I lived in Austin Texas in the year 2000. I admittedly was really wasted, but was having a great time on 6th street. Sorry the image quality isn't fantastic, but hey - these were taken on a crappy low res 1st generation digital camera.

I hope you this flashback to the good ol days in Austin!

I wish you could have seen this in real life, as the picture doesn't do it justice. I still can't figure out what these girls were trying to do.

By the way, this is mostly a re-post from near the time I started on Steem.

Anyone who lived in Austin in these days will know about Leslie Cochran, AKA "The Hungry Broke Desperate Dude" that used to hang out all over town. He apparently rode his bike across the country back in 1996 and decided to stay in Austin. Although very eccentric, he was a super nice guy. Unfortunately he was killed by some druggies after confronting them about the dangers of drug abuse. RIP Leslie! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Cochran

These kids are way too gangsta to dress up.. Or maybe they actually are in costume?

Superman is not impressed by Thor. @fyrstikken, is that your cousin?

I don't know why my camera aim was so bad that night.

I'm not sure what I was being.. A redneck? A carpenter? I know one thing I was - Drunk!

These guys might be barking up the wrong tree. I'm not sure what the Hef would have thought!

The ghost buster guys were BY FAR my favorite that night. These dudes weren't playing around. Look at the sweat on that guy's face. They were hardcore in character for the whole night.

I'm not sure what would happen if you got colonel Sanders together with Pinhead. Probably best not to know.

I will leave you with these girls. We were chatting up the one on the left, but I cannot remember anything beyond this point.

Eventually they walked away from us and my camera aim failed again. Oh well, what can you do.

Lol...I think the ladies on the first image were trying to go mad or unclad because of the music that was going on.

On the other had, I dont think the camera quality was that bad considering the period it was shot.

haha yeah, they were pretty drunk, so that probably contributed a little bit. But everyone was having a real laugh.

The funny thing is, those photos are all at full resolution at 640x480. haha. I loved that little digital camera! But someone stole it from me.

Still great that you preserved that night with digital pictures. Looks like a fun time was had.

Yeah, it was a riot. We had a great night! I wish I could turn back time.

You have good memories my friend. It looks like you did a lot of fun. Old is Gold.
