One of my favorite musicals, The Phantom of the Opera. How awesome was it to have this tour stopping in Austin. If only they joined the age of the internet and let you take a photo inside the theater either before or after the show. So much free publicity that could be had on social media sites. You will just have to trust me that the show and the sets on stage were great.

Yes, today was the day for the fun Austin event that is Eeyore’s Birthday Party. It was a hot and sunny day with temperatures reaching the mid 90s. But that didn’t stop the party goers from having a good time. The park was full of people in costume and people just out to have a great day.
Got a chance to get out on Lake Travis today with some friends. We launched a boat from Cypress Creek Park and went for a ride. We caught some sun and fed a pair of ducks in a cove where we were relaxing. As you can see from my snapshots, the lake is very pretty at this time of year. I’ll have to remember to get out there more often.
The Earth Day celebration in Austin was held at the campus of Huston-Tillotson University on the East side of town. The campus is situated on a hill that has beautiful sight lines of Austin. There were butterflies, dinosaurs, bats, bands, performers, food trucks, drinks, and all sorts of fun to be had on a nice cool day in Austin.
Today was a day for classic cars at the Lonestar Round Up. A friend and I visited the official car show at the Travis County Expo Center and the unofficial show on South Congress Avenue. It was a beautiful day, and there was plenty to see and do.
One of my favorite Austin events has come and gone. We were lucky on Saturday to not get rained on so the bands could play in the park and at Spider House Cafe. Honk! TX was a wonderful festival, as usual.
If you like 3D printers, robots, and other fun stuff, you will like SXSW Create. But you better hurry, because it all goes away after Sunday.
It is so cool to have the SXSW Festival in downtown Austin every year. You never know what you are going to see or discover.
Austin City Hall was the stage tonight for an outdoor performance of Chaddick Dance Theater. It was interesting to watch the dancers perform while people were out and about in the city, and traffic was flowing behind us on Cesar Chavez Street. The performance is called “Meetings of the Mind” and there will be a few more chances later in March to check out the show if you find yourself in Austin.
