Fan Fest
Trick or Treat

Hope Outdoor Gallery
The Hope Outdoor Gallery is keeping it weird in Austin. There are lots of ever changing graffiti art. Of course, this is a popular Austin site for photographs and a great place to meet some new friends.
Castle Hill
I drove down to Castle Hill in Austin after work to wander around a bit and to get some photos. This structure was once the Texas Military Institute until it closed in 1880. Now it is home to a Real Estate firm, and still looking good. The views from on top of the hill are outstanding!
Polkapocalypse
And for the best part of the day – Polkapocalypse with Brave Combo . Or, how to turn a quaint, unassuming park into a Sunday afternoon Dance Party…
Elizabet Ney Museum
Who builds a tiny castle in the middle of Hyde Park in Austin? Elizabet Ney moved here from Germany and built her studio in 1892. It is now the Elizabet Ney Museum and is a good place to visit if you like History, Sculpture, or Architecture.
