This was the coolest. Game of Thrones episodes at the IMAX. They showed season 4, episode 9 “The Watchers on the Wall” and episode 10 “The Children”. The battle scenes, the love scenes, and all the rest were excellent on the IMAX screen. You have until February 5th to catch this spectacle, so get out there and have some fun!
This Solo Piano Recital was nothing short of amazing. If you ever have the opportunity to see Michael Schneider, please take advantage of it. Plus if he has his very own page-turner, you know he must be awesome. 🙂
I visited the First Baptist Church in downtown Austin this afternoon for a Piano Solo Recital. The church was really nice. I liked the sanctuary, the stained glass windows, and the lobby with the four story mobile and the sculpture of the Archangel Michael.
According to Wikipedia, Austin “is the only city in the world known still to have light towers.” Pretty cool, huh?
On my walk back through the University of Texas campus, the Tower was looking especially photogenic.
Two sets of keys – one for lower case and one for caps. I present to you the Smith Premier 4.
In the spirit of trying something new, I attended the Excessive Noise Concert in the Fine Arts Library at UT. It was fun, and all the musicians were great!
On my rainy walk through the campus of The University of Texas this evening, I stopped to admire the sculpture of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The sculpture had more meaning after recently watching the film “Selma”.
What better to eat on a cool, rainy day than some pie? My destination was Royers Pie Haven near the University of Texas campus. The pie slices were yummy (although a bit small for a filling lunch). No problems, I’ll just order two – the Margherita Chicken Pizza Pie and the Chicken Pot Pie. The staff is so sweet, they decided I also needed a complementary tiny slice of Ann’s Pecan Pie for dessert. Their little pie shop is a busy one, and I can see why.
This trail can be found on the right just as you round a bend and cross over a narrow bridge on City Park Road. The trailhead parking is before the ranger booth for Emma Long Metropolitan Park. The hike consists of several creek crossings, and a climb to the top of a small ridge. The area is currently leash free, so expect to encounter lots of wet dogs roaming the trail. I tried – and mostly succeeded – to keep out of the creek while hopping from rock to rock. I got to see the sunset from the ridge top and then had a dark hike while trying to find my way out. I didn’t get eaten by monsters, so all is good. 🙂
