Lala’s Little Nugget, where it’s Christmas 24/7/365 
It’s a wonderful life
Santa, Rudolf, and an elf smoking something in the parking lot by their motorcycles
who's watching NOW, fatso
Gather 'round kids, and I'll tell you the story of The Bus That Harshed Lala's Buzz
So I'm on the front patio, enjoying a cig and double shot of Kentucky Holiday Cheer, taking in Lala's psychedelic yuletide atmosphere, when what to my wandering eyes would appear was the NINJA AF PARTY BUS *uhnt uhnt uhnt*
not merely Ninja, mind you, but NINJA AF
so the doors of the bus open, and from the disco lights and fog machine emerges 30 or so Cougar Moms and Untuckit Dads, snapping pictures like Japanese tourists. *record scratch* The look on the bartenders' faces was priceless
"well that's not very Ninja," noted one of the bartenders, as he scrambled to organize an improv entry line into the bar for the selfie-taking party touristas
I suppose it just added to the randomness, but it was my cue to move on. And now you know the reason behind those "Keep Austin Weird" t shirts
In conclusion: visit Austin, enjoy its dive bars, but please don't turn it into Weirdo Country Safari
