The highlight of the day was Boomerang’s and their food truck full of meat pies. I had a couple of Southwest Chicken pies to support their cause. I should have entered the Pie Eating Contest to get a free one on the sly. 🙂

Australia Day – Celebration
The Austin Rugby Club set up a celebration for Australia Day this afternoon at their club house. It was a beautiful sunny day to celebrate. I wandered around their three pitches and took some photos, of course.
Elysium – Voltaire
Elysium – Psycho Circus
Tonight was Aurelio Voltaire’s Birthday Party at Elysium in Austin. The first part of the show was the Psycho Circus. They were talented and fun, but I wish I had gotten more photos to give you a better feel for their very interesting show.
Wizard of Oz II
Yes, I have become sort of a regular customer at Pinballz since my first visit in September. I don’t know whether to curse or to thank Elaut Amusement Games – the creator of the Wizard of Oz Coin Pusher Game. It is addictively fun for some strange reason. I have collected most all of the player cards that fall off the edge including Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Glinda the Good Witch, and the Wicked Witch of the West. The one card that continues to elude me is Toto. I’m pretty sure Toto has special powers in this game.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
Dorothy: I’m not a witch at all. I’m Dorothy Gale from Kansas.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: Oh. Well, is that the witch?
Dorothy: Who, Toto? Toto’s my dog!

It is 6:00 pm in Downtown Round Rock, and the ArtSpace is presenting their First Thursday Artist Reception. Today’s exhibit featured works by the Cordovan Art School. My photos include the following items available for purchase.

How nice! And yes, they had cool cookies!
Armadillo Christmas Bazaar
I checked out the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar this afternoon. I enjoyed the live music from the Jitterbug Vipers and all the eclectic arts on display. This is the 39th annual Christmas Bazaar, and I recommend it for finding that one of a kind Christmas gift for someone special.
Frankie Moreno
I was thrilled to find out that Frankie Moreno still had his show in Vegas. If you are nearby, you have until Saturday night to catch him. After that, he is on to bigger and better things. He can sing, dance, play the guitar, play the harmonica, crush the piano, get the crowd involved, pass out free bottles of champagne, and flat out entertain like no other Vegas performer.
Austin Trail Of Lights – Lights
The Trail Of Lights is about a mile and a half walk through some pretty awesome light displays. There are lots of food trailers and a stage for local talent to perform. Pack up your family, friends, and neighbors and enjoy the evening.
Austin Trail Of Lights – Ferris Wheel
A new addition to the Trail Of Lights this year is the Ferris Wheel. It provides a nice view of the lights and the city.
