It is time for a trip back to Mellow Mushroom. On this cloudy, slightly windy, yet beautiful evening, I ordered the Funky Q. Chicken. It is described on the menu as “BBQ chicken, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, caramelized onions, and Applewood smoked bacon. Finished with a bbq sauce swirl.” These combinations made for a good pizza on the patio.
The HOPE Art Installation is related to the HOPE Outdoor Gallery in Austin where muralists and street artists display their creations. The HOPE Art Installation is located in the Rock Rose area of the Domain. It is a collection of art hanging on the building walls in the neighborhood of bars, shops, and restaurants. It is wide open to the public, so hopefully all goes well. If you find yourself in the area, definitely check it out while strolling through the new development.
Today’s Honk! TX events were held at Adams-Hemphill Park and Spider House. Once again there was great music on a spectacular, sunny day in Austin.
Honk! TX is back in town for the weekend! This is one of my favorite festivals of the year with such good music. I watched several bands this evening at different locations along South Congress Avenue. My favorite band tonight was Gora Gora Orkestar from Boulder Colorado. They were great!
The Harry Ransom Center has a small collection of Shakespeare related items on display. This made for a good Sunday outing.
Southside Market from Elgin now has a location in Bastrop. I just had to stop by and check things out. I ordered a two meat plate with brisket, turkey, potato salad, beans, and iced tea. Everything was great.
I went to Bastrop after work today to do some exploring. I started along the banks of the Colorado River and then made my way up to the Colorado River Bridge. It was a beautiful day for a long walk and there were plenty of sights to see along the way.
There are so many musicians at SXSW that the bands often take to the streets to help defer their travel expenses. You can hear some great music as you walk from one venue to the next.
The Kingdom is still a great place for EDM. This time around, I went to see Sebastian Furrer, who is half of the duo “Cazzette”. He kept everyone dancing and in good spirits throughout his set.
