Last year's trip to the Ancestral Health Symposium in L.A. was super-educational, but I enjoyed PaleoFX less for the content and more for the opportunity to connect with old and new friends. I was primarily in Austin to support M as she prepared for her panels and cooking demonstration, so my focus wasn't on figuring out whether Jack Kruse is a visionary or a loon, or whether safe starches are in fact safe. Yes, I learned a bunch of new stuff (more on that later), but for the most part, I treated this as my Paleo vacation. And although I had a bit of a nasty cold throughout my time in Austin, the warm weather, meaty eats, and insanely great company made it a trip to remember.
Rather than trying to describe the experience in words, here are a crapload of snapshots (by me and Bobby Gill) that summarize our latest Paleo nerd-a-thon:
