Tonight was Aurelio Voltaire’s Birthday Party at Elysium in Austin. The first part of the show was the Psycho Circus. They were talented and fun, but I wish I had gotten more photos to give you a better feel for their very interesting show.

Women & Their Work Art Gallery
I attended the Opening Reception of Between Borderlands by artist Sara Frantz this evening. The event was held at the Women & Their Work Art Gallery in Austin. I believe the exhibit is there until the middle of March, so check it out if you get the opportunity.
Wizard of Oz II
Yes, I have become sort of a regular customer at Pinballz since my first visit in September. I don’t know whether to curse or to thank Elaut Amusement Games – the creator of the Wizard of Oz Coin Pusher Game. It is addictively fun for some strange reason. I have collected most all of the player cards that fall off the edge including Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Glinda the Good Witch, and the Wicked Witch of the West. The one card that continues to elude me is Toto. I’m pretty sure Toto has special powers in this game.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
Dorothy: I’m not a witch at all. I’m Dorothy Gale from Kansas.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Oh. Well, is that the witch?
Dorothy: Who, Toto? Toto’s my dog!
First Thursday Artist Reception
It is 6:00 pm in Downtown Round Rock, and the ArtSpace is presenting their First Thursday Artist Reception. Today’s exhibit featured works by the Cordovan Art School. My photos include the following items available for purchase.
- “Keep Dreaming” by Mira Prince
- “Country Road” by Jim Elliott
- “European Cottage” by Ardelle Fisher
- “The Church of the Spilled Blood” by Gil Russell
How nice! And yes, they had cool cookies!
Armadillo Christmas Bazaar
I checked out the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar this afternoon. I enjoyed the live music from the Jitterbug Vipers and all the eclectic arts on display. This is the 39th annual Christmas Bazaar, and I recommend it for finding that one of a kind Christmas gift for someone special.
Austin Trail Of Lights – Lights
The Trail Of Lights is about a mile and a half walk through some pretty awesome light displays. There are lots of food trailers and a stage for local talent to perform. Pack up your family, friends, and neighbors and enjoy the evening.
Austin Trail Of Lights – Ferris Wheel
A new addition to the Trail Of Lights this year is the Ferris Wheel. It provides a nice view of the lights and the city.
Austin Trail Of Lights – Tree
Tonight’s mission was the Austin Trail Of Lights. The weather called for a warm, rainy night and they were right. I took the shuttle bus from Downtown Austin and your first sight off the bus is the giant tree of lights strung from one of Austin’s Moonlight Towers. What a sight!
Mozart’s – Christmas Lights
Mozart’s does not mess around when it comes to their Christmas Light Show. After dark, during the holidays, they have a huge audio and light show every hour, on the hour. Every year it just gets crazier. Don’t fight it, just grab a warm beverage and enjoy the show.

These videos will give you a preview of the house lights I visited yesterday. Use http://www.elfvis.com to reach the Facebook page with information on this Saturday’s event to “help spur toy donations for Brown and Blue Santa”. Enjoy!
