This Pilgrimage Story is important, because the ATX Festival, My name being Christopher, and New Orleans and March 23rd specifically:
Twas on the 32nd of the Sunth of Bridestide after Yuletide ( ABC/Psi/Fe,Ur,Thorn):
As I listened to Napoleon I by At the Drive In, I thought, does Austin have a Yellow Brick Road? Yes, Austin does have a Yellow Brick Road Shopping Center on Airport Blvd. After finding Austin's Yellow Brick Rd, searching today by the way, I thought, when should I go? Well today is Friday, the day of Freyja, and I'm Mother Nature's Son, so since I thought I should go after work tonight, P.M. Paul McCartney; the Knight of Godmother Nature, the night beIV Aegirsday.
I arrived at around 7:30, and saw Kung Fu and Tai Chi (which I want My children to be trained in), a Hookah Lounge, Chinese Palace, and Arpeggio. I opted to go to Chinese Palace, sat down at a table next to the television while the Miami Heat played the New Orleans Pelicans in New Orleans. There was a large picture of two tigers behind the table. I got two beers, Tsingtao. I explained to the server there, who had a Washington Nationals hat, that I was on a Pilgrimage due to the At the Drive In song, and since New Orleans was on tv, this was special, a magic moment.
I asked for the Bill, and the cost was $8.66. I tipped 2$ on the bill, as I paid with My card, a total of $10.66 and then $2 in cash. $4 tip. I wrote on the invoice about Article 3 of the Adams Onis Treaty, and the Napoleon song. Then I kept one of the Tsingtao bottles and came home, passing a blue genie and lamp, obviously based on Disney's Aladdin, on the way back.
I also kept the fortune cookie message I got, "Go above and beyond you duty. You will benefit from it."
Two weeks later, on the 1st Day of Freystide and Spring (I'll add an extra day to Freystide for the Leap Year, so this year 2 45 day Sunths, and 6 46 day Sunths. Elliptical orbit.) I practiced a very civilized civil disobedience to the closure orders:
I visited a friend, and We talked and discussed the current situation as he told Me he had to close his food operations and file for unemployment. We smoked the sacred herb of Great Communion, and I discussed turning around this commercial down turn with civil disobedience. I stated that I was going to go to the Iron Bear, which still has it's food operations open, and then request to eat there and have a beer, in defiance of the Governor's order.
We picked up another friend, who is also now unemployed, and went into downtown Austin. There were shops on 6th street boarded up as if a hurricane is coming, and I had a sense of impending disaster. As We found a parking place, a former coworker from Punch Bowl Social, Margot, came up to Us and talked about how the Brazilian restaurant was taking care of their employees and with $15/hour pay. I inquired inside for an application, and they stated they were not hiring at the moment.
My friend and I went for his check. As We walked along Austin's Walk of Fame, I thought... oooo... Wouldn't a Yellow Brick Road motif in Austin be cool, with Emerald colored solar paneled skyscapers? A yellow brick road from the Riverside trail up Congress Ave to the State Capitol? Yeah, you're not in Kansas anymore, I'm in Austin, Texas. And as I thought about tourism, I suggested that South by Southwest could be rescheduled and combined with the ATX Festival.
My friend went to pick up his check at a restaurant and I spoke to a manager about turning this around, and she agreed. I encouraged the bar tender to serve patrons if they asked.
After picking up the check, I asked if they wanted to join for the Iron Bear act. They woosed out, and I got dropped off at the Iron Bear. I entered and the employees were eating, and I asked them if I could join. They explained they were employees, and I told them I meant ordering food and eating there. I began to explain that I was unemployed and I worked at a restaurant and want to overturn the business closure decision. I was asked to leave... Shocked and terrified by the response and lack of courage, I walked around to see if Rain, Oilcan Harry's, and Seller's Underground were open. They weren't.
Where could I do this Civil Disobedience Act? I got on the 7 and went back to Austin's Yellow Brick Road Shopping Center. I entered the China Palace, asked if I could be seated, she responded that the restaurant portion was closed to customers at this time, and then I ordered the Triple Mongolian combo, which came with Chicken, Shrimp, Beef and Vegetables, Fried Rice, a Hot and Sour Soup, and a Spring Roll. I also ordered a Tsingtao. She opened the beer, and had Me sit at a table, serving a plate of wantons. I drank the beer, got the meal, and finished eating the food there. Twas delicious. And I thought about a Mongolian Balléteau, no, certainly not a taste one would expect in a burrito, and then I thought, yes, you must see past the burrito (little donkey) to see the Balléteau. When I left, I said, May TAO be with you.
The fortune cookie said... A sign of return to regularity. As is the Commonwealth Pearl I saw on the way back, as at the intersection of 45th and Duval, the Shell Gas station, the Australian flag was flying upside down. So I called the station and requested them to correct the Australian flag, Jack side up. Australians took to the beach in order to defy the social distancing and beach closures that same week.
