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.
Women & Their Work Art Gallery
I attended the Opening Reception of Between Borderlands by artist Sara Frantz this evening. The event was held at the Women & Their Work Art Gallery in Austin. I believe the exhibit is there until the middle of March, so check it out if you get the opportunity.
Greetings from Austin Postcard
The Greetings from Austin Postcard mural can be found on the northwest corner of South 1st Street and Annie Street. It is an iconic Austin mural. If you promise to take some crazy photos and post them on your blog, I will share this secret link with you. All of the best murals in Austin! Have fun!
Polvos
While on South 1st, I had breakfast at Polvos Mexican Restaurant. This is an awesome spot to enjoy interior Mexican food and drinks. They have a corner area for cooking up fresh tortillas and a nice salsa bar. My breakfast of choice today was the Trash Can Plate – “two scrambled eggs mixed with Bacon, Ham, Potatoes, Cheese, Pico de Gallo, Spinach, Sausage, Mushrooms, Chipotle, Machacado, and Chorizo. Served with Beans and Potatoes.” Totally yummy! 🙂
Secret Oktober
Secret Oktober is a cool shop on South 1st Street. I stopped by to pick up a ticket for an event tonight. The store features “Goth, Steampunk, Industrial, Punk, Alternative & ’80′s”. It is the place to be for dresses with skulls and other groovy stuff.
After Rain
In my world, it has been raining for two days straight. This is mostly awesome, unless the heavy rains try their best to wake you up in the middle of the night. Luckily, one of my super powers is sleeping.
As a result of the heavy rains, the San Gabriel River is flowing strongly. While walking this evening, I took a few photos to give you an idea of what things looked like. I will also leave you with a quote to think about.
“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” ― Rumi
Short N Sweet Cafe
What to do on a rainy day in Austin? How about some Bubble Tea? Short N Sweet Cafe is a good place to chill and get your Bubble Tea on. They have three sizes of drinks, Short, Sweet, and Big Boy. I typically order the almond milk tea with pearls, but as you can see they have plenty of choices. Yay, Bubble Tea!
Samaras
I liked the following description from the Native Plant Society of Texas (I hope I have the correct tree).
“The fruits are flat, circular and papery wafer-like samaras. They occur in drooping clusters, are retained well into winter and wave in the wind with an audible rattle.”
The samara has a flattened wing of papery tissue that allows the wind to carry the seed. As it turns out, it also allows for nice photos at sunset near the 3/4 mile marker on some walking path. 🙂
Austin Reflection II
This made my walk around Town Lake this evening a special one. 🙂
