The Associated Press reports that Ex-Governor Rick Perry skipped out on the inaugural festivities for his successor Greg Abbott.  Instead, Perry was spotted at Sandy’s enjoying one of their signature frozen custard cones.  A visit to Austin is not complete without a visit to Sandy’s which is not an “ice cream parlor” as incorrectly asserted in the AP Report.  Far from it, Sandy’s is an outstanding little burger joint on Barton Springs road, where you can also get a delicious frozen custard cone, malt or milkshake.

“Perry skipped Abbott’s inauguration. Hours later, though, his official Twitter feed showed a photo of him holding what looks like a cone of vanilla in front of Austin ice cream parlor Sandy’s. The caption reads, ‘Sandy’s, where you go to celebrate.’ It’s the same place Perry tweeted about visiting in August, after he was booked and smirked in his mug shot following being indicted on two felony abuse-of-power charges.”
