Sixth Street Halloween Parade, Austin 2011

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

Gather the goblins and get to 6th street in Austin!  It’s All Hallows Eve and it’s your chance to put together a costume creative enough that people ask you for a photo!  But be mindful, if your costume is over the top, you may find yourself unable to actually make your way down the street.  The crowd can stop you in your tracks!

Frankenberry and Egyptian royalty, just part of the creative madness you can find on sixth street during Halloween!

Cow Parade in Austin, Texas.

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

At first I was kinda bummed when I saw the cows.  Around almost every corner in the downtown area, I found a fiberglass cow decorated to fit into the area where it was firmly mounted.  A taco cow was near food and monopoly cow near the banks, etc.

After I discovered that the art exhibit was a traveling one, I was relieved that they would eventually be on their way.  There’s enough evidence for Texas’ history of steer, and despite the great effort to artistically decorate each one uniquely, it’s still too much for this state.

It might have worked very well in the previous 75 cities, 30 countries and 6 continents that it has already been installed. But in Texas, a decorated cow just doesn’t stand out as interesting.

Grab the cows by their horns and snap a photo, because sometime in October several will be auctioned off and the Cow Parade will be rounded up and shipped the hell out of this town. Bye, Bye…don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out! :)

Rot Rally Rumbles Into Austin

2011 Rot Rally in Austin.

What can I say?  Covering events for not much more than a blog on the internet can get kinda short and fast.  Especially since I covered this event in the past.  For more pics and a few more words than this year, check out 2009 Rot Rally in Austin, Texas.

Eeyore’s Birthday Party 2011

Sunday, May 1st, 2011

Another great party in Pease Park, Austin Texas.  On the last Saturday of April, the Friends of the Forest gather to celebrate Eeyore’s Birthday.  A tradition that began years ago, but has become like many of Austin’s festivals…crowded and off the hook!

One of the best builds on the block.
