Kinky Friedman the original Texas Jewboy takes us on a rollicking rock-and-rolling tour of his favourite city: Austin.

Maybe you want to know where to find President Bush's favourite Austin burger joint. Or maybe you want a glimpse of Willie Nelson's home. Or maybe you're itching to learn the history of a city that birthed Janis Joplin Stevie Ray Vaughan and countless other music legends. It's all here in The Great Psychedelic Armadillo Picnic the slightly insane amazingly practical and totally kick-ass guide to the coolest city in Texas by none other than Kinky Friedman.

This ain't no ordinary travel guide neither. As might be expected from this politically incorrect country-singer-turned-bestselling-mystery-author the Kinkster's tour includes a bunch of stuff you won't find in any other guide from descriptions of Austin's notable trees and directions to skinny-dipping sites to lists of haunted places and quizzes and puzzles. So put on your cowboy hat and your brontosaurus-foreskin boots and head down south with the only book you need to get to the big heart of this great city.
