Louie Mueller Barbecue II
“Please form line.” I got lucky today. Zipped right in and ordered my brisket, pork ribs, and beans. The food was awesome, and the line was short. Louie Mueller Barbecue is the best!
Annual Lighting of the Square
The City of Georgetown as well as the cold, blowing rain came out for the Annual Lighting of the Square. There were Christmas Carols to be sung, the Mayor to be greeted, and Santa Claus to tell your Christmas wishes. I took a few photos out in the crazy cold front from the North, and then hurried over to the Monument Market to warm up with some turkey and squash chili and hot green tea with honey.
Happy Thanksgiving!
It turns out that a rainy Thanksgiving night is a good time to take a photo walk around downtown Austin.
Model Train Show
It is time for the Holiday Model Train Show at ArtSpace in Downtown Round Rock. It is a series of dioramas surrounded by train tracks. For a $5.00 donation, you can control one of the many trains circling the exhibits. For some reason, this entertains me for long periods of time. Check it out if you find yourself in Round Rock for the Holidays.
Voodoo Doughnut II
I may have practiced some of my Voodoo skillz tonight…
Or, I might have just consumed a Voodoo Doll Doughnut at Voodoo Doughnut on Sixth Street. 🙂
Creek Show
Creek Show is a temporary art installation in Downtown Austin. It is going on through tomorrow night, so check it out if you find yourself in the area.
100 Pizzitas
Here is an interesting concept for a restaurant. Pizzas treated as tapas. 100 Pizzitas also has several full blown pizzas to choose from if you prefer not to sample some of the 100 different 6.5″ sized ones. My favorite tonight was number 59 – Provolone cheese, bacon, York ham, mushroom & cream. There is also a view of the Texas State Capitol building from the patio to enjoy.
First Thursday Art Reception
The Round Rock ArtSpace had their First Thursday Art Reception this evening, and it featured DÃa de los Muertos art and artists. My favorite painting was called “Bella Catrina” by Jennifer Estes. Also, if you find yourself near Round Rock this Saturday, there will be a celebration downtown in the evening.
DÃa de los Muertos
There was a DÃa de los Muertos Celebration on this rainy day in Austin at the Mexican American Cultural Center. They had memorials, performances, art, crafts, food, and drink. It was a little bit washed out by the weather, but still fun for all.
