It's a Story We Love, and this one is pure Austin.
JB and Sandy start with a quick stop in Beaumont before getting to the good stuff: the legendary Pumpkin Stomp is coming back. Austin artist Jim Franklin, the creative force behind so much of the Armadillo World Headquarters look, is reviving the old tradition at Little Darlin on Thursday.
The crew dives into the history of the Armadillo, the music hall that helped put Austin on the map, and the wild, only-in-Austin spirit of an event where people gather to smash pumpkins after Halloween. Sandy, JB and Tricia talk about what made the Armadillo special, why these old traditions matter, and why it's great to see someone bring one back to life.
If you love Austin history, live music lore, and stories about keeping the weird alive, this one is for you.
