Mellow Mushroom

Today’s lunch with friends was at Mellow Mushroom.  We ordered three different small pizzas so we could each sample some of the goods.  My favorite one was called “Magical Mystery Tour” and it included “Pesto base with button and Portobello mushrooms, feta and mozzarella cheeses, spinach and jalapeños on a pesto basted crust.”  It was so delicious that it was gone before it could be photographed for posterity.  Don’t worry, I will be returning to this pizza joint again soon.

Labyrinth

Tucked away, off of the main trail at Brushy Creek Lake Park, is a tiny Labyrinth.  Lucky for us, the Bluebonnets are sprouting up.  According to the sign, “Labyrinths are different in that they have a single path that leads to the center and back out again.”  Also, “labyrinths are designed to calm, heal, comfort and bring about balance.”  I truly enjoyed the sights, sunshine, and breezes as I walked through and skipped over the rocks placed to form this Labyrinth.

SXSW – Macnas

IMG_0852

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.
