Noel is just another word for Christmas. The Mueller Tower had its lighting ceremony this evening – complete with space heaters, festivities, bands, kids, Christmas carols, kettle corn, food trucks, dogs, drinks, and lights. What a nice event to help get ready for Christmas.
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.
The Univesity Hills Branch of the Austin Public Library had a Kaiju event this afternoon. They showed a Godzilla movie on the wall, had a cool dude in costume for photos, arts and crafts for the kids, snacks, action figures, and books for everyone to enjoy. Yes, it was totally a nerd fest…
It is a rainy Saturday in Austin, so I took it easy today. I watched some football, had lunch with a friend, stopped by Adelbert’s Brewery, and chilled at Starbucks with my iPad. What you see in the first photo is a semi-wet picnic table outside the Brewery with a “Naked Nun” – their awesome Wit Beer which was chemically enhanced by a few stray rain drops.
Here are a series of walking around photos from Wurstfest in New Braunfels. This is one of my favorite festivals of the year – music, food, drinks, costumes, and too much fun for one place.
It was First Friday at The Williamson Museum in Georgetown, so I thought I would drop in and have a look. It is located in an old bank building on the Square. For some reason, I fell in like with the historic safes on display. They were cool.
There was a Día 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.
There is some spooky hard rain in Austin today. For now, I am keeping dry at Maggie Maes and watching some football on Sixth Street. They also have some of their Halloween decorations up to enjoy.
