I discovered this great garden full of red roses on my way to the Thinkery this evening. Here are a few roses for you.

HONK! TX – Parade
The final day for this year’s HONK! TX festival provided a parade through the streets of East Austin, followed by performances at the Pan Am Park stage. The weather was perfect and it was an excellent ending to this great annual tradition in Austin. I hope you enjoy all the photos!
Cisco’s Wall Mural
Yes, flying pigs and other bits of coolness on this wall mural!
Cisco’s
Cisco’s Restaurant is an Austin institution, having served breakfast on the East Side for more than 50 years. Their migas are some of my favorite in all of Austin.
East Side View
A few scenes from the hills of East Austin looking towards downtown on a sunny Sunday morning.
Thinkery
Austin had a Community Night at the Thinkery. There were chicken puppets, rainbows, water walls, color panels, giant Lite-Brite, random art, and so many more activities. If you have kids, and you live near Austin, and you haven’t brought them here yet, then you should probably punch yourself in the face as punishment (not really, this blog does not normally promote violence). Just get them here as soon as possible. 🙂
The Browning Hangar
When Mueller was an Austin Airport, The Browning Hangar was Austin’s first airplane hangar. According to the website, “Due to a steel shortage during World War II, the hangar was built with a series of glue-laminated wooden trusses.” It is still a photogenic structure that hold’s a lot of history.
Mad Tiger Festival – Mother Falcon
Mother Falcon is a great group of talented artists. They were my favorite band today at the Mad Tiger Festival.
Mad Tiger Festival – Peelander-Z
Peelander-Z is a band from New York City that should just face the facts that they need to go ahead and relocate to Austin. They promise a performance with “intense audience participation and a chance to exercise”. Who could turn that down?
Mad Tiger Festival – Mueller Lake Park
Since the City of Austin cancelled the New Year Celebration in January due to inclement weather, they made it up to us today by having the Mad Tiger Festival. Pretty much an awesome welcome to Spring with fun bands at the Mueller Lake Park. As a secret to you Internet Friends in Austin, check the website for two more events still to come at the Thinkery.
