Since it's Sunday and I am really not looking forward to Monday I decided to treat myself to something nice. So I take my mom and my brother to get a delicious coffee at the Starbucks near my house (one of the perks about living in the capital of Texas: A Starbucks in every corner) when I get to the drive through expecting for some one to take my order but instead A perky girl voice saying "Do you like Country music?"
At first I thought I had completely misheard, surely this girl speaking at me through an intercom of sorts would give a damn about my taste in music.
"What was that?" my brother asks the intercom lady.
"Do you like Country music?" she repeats a chipper tone in her voice.
"Yes" my brother and I answer cautiously
"Oh good, I'll explain when you get to the window. If you had said No then I wouldn't have explained" The girl says before going back to normality and taking our order.
when we get to the window I am actually anxious to hear the wondrous explanation. Sure it has something to do with us getting a promotional new country drink or something, I wonder inside my head.
But oh deception, at the window there is no perky girl, but instead boring, chubby guy, who immediately confirms our order and does not even mention the whole weird question incident.
There I am completely bummed when this girl appear on my window and asks again "So, Do You Like Country Music?"
"Yes" My brother and I practically yell expecting our free drink or something!
"Good, you absolutely have to check out Sunny Sweeny on Itunes, its just five songs for five dollars" she says before disappearing again to get our drinks.
Apparently this Sunny Sweeney was the girls friend and she had taken upon herself to help promot her, even at work. (Only in Austin)
So there we are laughing about the weirdness of the whole incident when the girl appears again smiling and asks "What was the name?"
I am caught completly off guard. For a minute or two I have no idea what she means.
So the first thing I do is blurt out my name!
I Know !!! Completely Idiotic moment.
"The singer" she explains
And for the love of god I cannot remmeber the damn singers name.
Shanney? Sally?
My mind goes blank
Thankfully my brother's doesn't and he yells
"Sunny Sweeney"
"Well, that was weird" I say as we leave completely embaressed by the whole experience and amused to
"Hey they're just Keeping Austin Weird" my brother says as we all laugh.
So for all of you guys who are planning to visit our Dear Texan Capital, Be prepared. Don't get rattle by weird questions on drivethru's
So if you like country music here is a video link to Sunny Sweeney
