The Harry Ransom Center has a small collection of Shakespeare related items on display. This made for a good Sunday outing.

Hurricane Grill and Wings
What do you do when one of the managers at work gets a new role and won’t be working with your Team any longer? You tag along with everyone for happy hour at Hurricane Grill and Wings and have fun chatting about the good times.
SXSW – McDonald’s Loft
McDonald’s Loft was one of my favorite SXSW venues this year. The lines were long, but once inside, they fed you, gave you drinks, and entertained you. This band is called Escondido, and they were fun.
SXSW – Pandora Discovery Den
My SXSW strategy for the last day of the festival was to bounce around to as many parties as possible. Of course, the downside to this strategy was waiting in lines. This party was the Pandora Discovery Den. The band having fun on stage is Bleached.
SXSW – Outdoor Stage
The Deftones rocked at the SXSW Outdoor Stage at Lady Bird Lake tonight.
SXSW – Macnas
Just when you thought SXSW had served up all of its insanity, along comes a performance company from Ireland. Macnas describes themselves as a team that is “bringing stunning large-scale images and brilliant chaos to the streets of the world.” They paraded down Sixth Street for SXSW and pretty much set the place on fire. These photos will give you an idea of their brand of chaos, but please go and see them in person if you ever have the opportunity.
SXSW – Unicorn and Ferris Wheel
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.
Zilker Kite Festival II
The Zilker Kite Festival was as crazy as ever! The weather was a perfect overcast, cloudy, and windy day. There were tons of people, dogs, kites everywhere, bubbles, a biplane buzzing by, food trucks, beverages, kettle corn, free ice water, t-shirt sales, and art. I met the artist who submitted the design for the official t-shirt, Aileen Fitzgerald, and she was super nice. I thought her artwork really captured the spirit of Austin. All in all, it was a most successful Kite Festival.
Hole in the Wall – Part 2
I stayed till closing time tonight. Not only did they have Atash tonight, but they also had the Flying Balalaika Brothers ripping it up. Two great bands that specialize in music from around the world. The Hole in the Wall may not be a fancy club, but it is definitely a fun one.
