On this warm, humid, rainy night, the F1 race party came to town. The highlight of the party was the band called Ozomatli. They are known as a fun jam band that hops off the stage with their horns and their drums, and joins the crowd near the end of their show. That is when the party really gets started.
If you find yourself smack dab in the middle of Sixth Street in Austin and your sweet tooth is calling out for satisfaction, check out Voodoo Doughnut. They will satisfy your craving for sugary goodness. My friends and I dropped in here after a downtown meeting today and it was yummy. I had the “Bacon Maple Bar Doughnut” with maple frosting and bacon on top. Killer!
Hey y’all! Get your hands on this Film (or maybe read the book). Unbranded is a story about wild mustangs, four college friends, and a trip of a lifetime riding public lands from Mexico to Canada. Trust me, this is a great American documentary.
Walking through the Capitol grounds on my way to see a film. Can you spot the drone, the squirrel, and the butterfly? 🙂
Hello St. Edwards Park! It has been a while. I started off on the Tim and Maggie Boatright Memorial Trail that runs between Spicewood Springs Road and Bull Creek. This part of the trail has a few lingering wildflowers and a busted up house. Then I climbed up the path at St. Edwards Park, took in the view of the hills, got lost in the woods, found my way downhill to the dam, watched the fish swim around, enjoyed the soothing sounds of the waterfall, and headed back for my car. All adventures were accomplished before sunset.
There is a small Oktoberfest Celebration going on at Banger’s this weekend, so I thought I would stop by for a pint. They boast to have the largest tap wall in Austin, with over 100 beers on tap. My choice was a Belgian-style Witbier called “Freetail Rye Wit” from the Freetail Brewing Company in San Antonio. It was very enjoyable as the sun started to set for the day.
I don’t think the Monarchs were aware that a Book Festival was underway…
Here are some scenes from a most beautiful day at the Texas Book Festival. It is so cool to sit in on the discussion panels and then to roam the grounds of the Texas State Capitol.
