Hey, SXSW, why not throw a unicorn up in here for good measure?

SXSW – Mophie and Indian Motorcycle
So the Mophie Team one-upped themselves this year at SXSW. Last year, if you were low on battery power on your mobile device, you could text them and they would send out a human and a Saint Bernard to your rescue. This year, they are sending them out on Indian motorcycles with sidecars. Pretty awesome advertising, and they were collecting donations for the St. Bernard Rescue Foundation.
SXSW – Casa Mexico
VisitMexico.com threw a pretty nice party tonight. There was a DJ, tequila, food trucks, drinks, a traveling photo booth, and several hammocks to relax in. Nice job!
SXSW – Tie Fighter
There is everything else at SXSW, why not Tie Fighters and Storm Troopers?
SXSW by Day II
The SXSW Interactive Festival never ceases to amaze me. Have an empty parking lot downtown? OK, we will install a Ferris Wheel for fun. Or maybe an upside down church building. Presidential traffic jams got you down? Try to out grumpy old Grumpy Cat who is coming to town. We also have R2-D2 and parties galore to boost your spirits. This Festival is awesome, and it’s only the first day so far.
Spring: New Beginnings
The Round Rock ArtSpace had an art show this afternoon to celebrate Spring and New Beginnings. The intent was to celebrate “themes related to spring, growth, new beginnings and change”. I liked the art. My favorite piece below with the funky birds was called “Angel Garden” by Kristin Kim. The show inspired me to strike out on a walk around the local neighborhood as the sun was beginning to set. I just caught some new Springtime tree blossoms as the tree limbs were blowing in the wind with a beautiful sunset in the distance. I think this brief moment was on point with the celebration that ArtSpace had meant for us to enjoy.
Music on Main
Hey, City of Round Rock! I had a good idea involving the use of your downtown plaza. Since the weather has been so beautiful, why not use the outdoor stage for a band like the Urban Achievers Brass Band? You could invite everyone out for a party, get some food trucks, maybe a snow cone making booth, face painting for the kids, and advertise it a bit to insure a good turnout. What? You already thought of that? It’s called Music on Main and it’s going to be a weekly free event for a while with a different band each week? Awesome! Keep up the good work!
The People’s Gallery
Here are some of my favorite selections from The People’s Gallery exhibit at Austin City Hall last night. The Opening Reception was fun with tons of local art on display. Thank you Austin for opening up City Hall, feeding us snacks, and allowing us to photograph the art and the building.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day! I found some roses for y’all as I walked along Congress Avenue today.
Hot Rods and Hatters
The Hot Rods and Hatters put on a great car show in the square of downtown Lockhart today. The sun was out in full force and made for some interesting photos. There were tons of classic cars, booths, people and bands to enjoy. As you can probably tell from the photos, I am partial to the Ford Mustangs. 🙂
