Hana Yoree

Feb10

My friends took me to a new place for lunch today, Hana Yoree inside the Hana World Market in North Austin. The food was Korean, and I had number 23 “Bul Go Gi – Korean style BBQ beef with rice”. I never would have known they were hiding a Food Court up in here. If you are a fan of Korean food, or just want to try something new (and relatively inexpensive), check it out.

Round Rock

Feb9

The Round Rock is a little piece of history in this town. According to Wikipedia:

“In 1851, a small community was formed on the banks of Brushy Creek, near a large round and anvil-shaped rock located in the middle of the creek. This round rock marked a convenient low-water crossing for wagons, horses, and cattle. The first postmaster called the community “Brushy,” and the creek was called “Brushy Creek”. But in 1854, at the suggestion of the postmaster, the small settlement was renamed Round Rock in honor of this now famous rock.”

You can find the Rock in the middle of Brushy Creek, just off the Interstate. Once you visit, you can check it off of your list of things to do in life. 🙂

A Most Violent Year

You really find yourself rooting for this individual.

“You should know that I have always taken the path that is most right.”

Bell

Feb6

This bell grabbed my attention the other night when walking through downtown, and I thought that I would try to come back another day at sunset. It belongs to the Main Street Baptist Church in Georgetown. I’m not sure if it rings or not, and I think it has seen better days.

Wild Things

Feb4

I think I have crossed this bridge a billion times (well, maybe not that much), and if I am lucky, I will cross it a billion more. Now I think they built it to keep people like me from tromping on the wildflowers and dandelions. 🙂

Game of Thrones IMAX Experience

Feb3

This was the coolest. Game of Thrones episodes at the IMAX. They showed season 4, episode 9 “The Watchers on the Wall” and episode 10 “The Children”. The battle scenes, the love scenes, and all the rest were excellent on the IMAX screen. You have until February 5th to catch this spectacle, so get out there and have some fun!

Michael Schneider

Feb1

This Solo Piano Recital was nothing short of amazing. If you ever have the opportunity to see Michael Schneider, please take advantage of it. Plus if he has his very own page-turner, you know he must be awesome. 🙂

First Baptist Church Austin

Feb1

I visited the First Baptist Church in downtown Austin this afternoon for a Piano Solo Recital. The church was really nice. I liked the sanctuary, the stained glass windows, and the lobby with the four story mobile and the sculpture of the Archangel Michael.
