Austin happens to be home to the largest bat colony in North America. It's underneath the Congress bridge by downtown. They come out at night after sunset, though sometimes you can't see them (perhaps they slowly trickle out on those days).
Over the long weekend, there was a small street fair on the bridge, with bat-watchers, bands (like the Flobots), and a petting zoo with Kangaroos! There was lots going on. Aside from the UT game, there was the Human Race, some triathlon, and random other street closings for random events.
The Travis County Dems had a voter registration drive at the festival all weekend. We signed up over 400 voters the Sunday evening when I went. Over the entire weekend, we probably hit about 1k registrations (a bat-tastic record)!
