<header>Starseeds Cafe: Gentrified Punk Diner</header>
<p>3101 North IH-35, Austin, TX</p>
<p>Starseeds at 3am. The coffee is weak. The punk can be talked over. We are all grown-ups around here.</p>
<p>Patrons of Stars have childlike qualities. Stars has rules. No one will ask that the music, punk or rap usually, be turned up, down or off. While I write, Circle Jerks (an eighties punk band) is playing in the back ground. I wonder, does anyone really want to listen to this? I own the CD though I haven't listened to it in years. It is a classic but at 3 am? I am thoroughly enjoying the album none the less. I recognize that it wouldn't be playing if I were at home, but that is why I go to Stars.</p>
<p>When entering Stars', one enters an alternate existence. Welcome to the fifth grade. Nothing ever approaches the levels of coolness achievable in the fifth grade. Stars' does though. Outside, the world is grown up and disillusioned. There are pretensions. Few care anymore. Inside Stars, the customer can relive the passion of their punkrock childhood.</p>
<p>First timers at Stars' ask, "what should I order?" Well my friend, don't stray from the narrow path. </P>
<p>The Trucker Breakfast is 2 eggs, bacon, toast and grits with coffee: $5.41. </p>
<p>The Welfare Taco with eggs, blackbeans, homefries and cheese, coffee: $4.01.</P>
<p>Or, go with the cheeseburger and a huge red see-through plastic diner cup of ice water too cold to drink.</P>
<P>Many have strayed from the path of the wise. I actually witnessed onesuch vomiting on the side of the building last winter. Don't go there. With the exception of the occasional pebble in the blackbeans, the above selections are all fine cuisine.</P>

back, two-sixed?
Oct 4, 1999
hmmm, i have two entries in the guide now. that's cool. perhaps this means a renewed interest for me. There still remains the question for me... what does it mean to be "two-sixed", and why does being "two-sixed hard" make me feel insecure?

Last night I was physically abused. A mosquito bit me about the face, neck and shoulders. I have giant welts.
Never sleep with a bloodsucker.

HEAT in TEXAS
Jun 2, 1999
This state is hot. My God, it is hot. Tonight I got a large floor fan and placed it in my window sill. This will help.
I want to go dancing. I need some bumpin' techno to shake my booty.

I ordered a new 17" monitor. It was supposed to be sent to Austin, TX. It was sent to McAllen, TX. Curses.
