It’s the Round Rock Water Tower just after sunset.

Shaved Ice II
Half Grape and half Vanilla. Kawaii Shaved Ice to the rescue.
Happy Hour
We decided to check out this Joint in Downtown Round Rock for Happy Hour today. The Thursday special was $1 off Tequilas and Mexican Beers, so we enjoyed the Dos Equis.
Moon over Austin
This was the nighttime scene as I walked through Zilker Park in search of my car. A most beautiful evening!
Pelon’s Tex-Mex Restaurant
My afternoon plans were to attend the “Quesoff” at the Mohawk in downtown Austin. These plans were squashed when I showed up about thirty minutes early and the line went down the block and wrapped up the hill from there with no end in sight. Apparently, queso contests are extremely popular on beautiful sunny days in Austin. So, instead, I checked into Pelon’s for some brunch. This place is nice with a gorgeuos deck and groovy air-conditioned interior. The food needs a little work, but the location is perfect and the staff was great. See you next year, queso judging party!
Republic of Texas Biker Rally
This evening was the Republic of Texas Biker Rally in downtown Austin, including a motorcycle parade, some live music in the middle of Congress Avenue (featuring Asleep at the Wheel), and extra shenanigans on Sixth Street. It is always fun every year to go down and watch the bikers take over Austin. Everybody stay safe out there on the roads!
Kingdom III
I went downtown to my favorite EDM club in Austin to see Chocolate Puma. Their set was short, but good. I got there early and took some photos using my iPod touch before Kingdom filled up with people. This club has one of the best sound systems in Austin, so check it out if you happen to be in town when a good DJ comes along.
Historic Homes & Gardens
I attended an event at the downtown Austin Library, and on my way out, I saw this lovely neighborhood block of historic homes and gardens. They are all privately owned, so I couldn’t get too close. Here is a series of photos that will give you an idea of how awesome this neighborhood really is. 🙂
Mount Bonnell
It continued raining in Austin today, so I thought I would see what the view looked like from the top of Mount Bonnell in the rain.
Free Concert Series
The Bullock Texas State History Museum is hosting a series of free concerts every Sunday for the month of May. Today’s concert was scheduled for outside, but the threat of rainy weather pushed it inside. There were three bands, and they all were very talented. Maybe I will be back for more next Sunday?
