Exchange at Indie Record Store
Salesperson (on noticing T-shirt): Austin, Texas, huh?
Me: Austin is not Texas.
SP: Really.
Me: Well, I guess it is, but it's kinda like the West Berlin of Texas
SP: (Laughs)
Me: Or some say the San Francisco of the South
SP: (Still laughing)
Me: But without the earthquakes.
SP: (Still laughing)
Me: Or the outrageously high rents.
SP: That Brian Eno album is awesome.
Me: I know. I bought the LP in high school.
SP: Cool.
Me: Yeah.
SP: (handing bag to me) West Berlin of Texas. Gotta remember that one.
