Patriot

I snapped this during SXSW on East Sixth. "Can I take your picture?" I asked. He nodded. I didn't ask all the cool kids along the sidewalk. I was flipping through facebook last night and saw a picture of a guy with a flag snapped on Congress taken by one of my fb acquaintances. He was sitting on a planter but holding his flag high. Might be the same guy. He didn't have a sign or shout a message.

Bevo Visits Second Street

There was a fund raiser for the Darryl Royal Alzheimer's Research Fund Wednesday. Next to Willie's statue Bevo greeted people along with his handler. Willie sang at the event inside the Moody Theater.

Dale Watson Entertains ACVB

We were invited to a Austin Convention and Visitor's Bureau Client Appreciation at the Velocity Lounge at the Circuit of the Americas last night. (FFP is on the board where his position is listed as 'patron of the arts.') Dale Watson and his band entertained with a panoply of country tunes. Great fun. This was the first time we'd been to the track.

Miles of Chocolate

Our friend Reed Clemons catered a party for the Knights of the Vine that we attended this week. The dessert, called Miles of Chocolate, was amazing and disappeared in a hurry when it was brought out for the party-goers.

Mouser Does the Mouse Thing

We were walking through Old West Austin on a tax time errand when we saw this feline predator trying to deliver his prey. There was no answer at the front door so he headed to the back of the house to try to find his owners and present his kill.

Flash Back

There was a car show at Westwood Country Club last Saturday. This gal decided to add authenticity to the old TBird by wearing the poodle skirt and saddle shoes. Vintage!

Snow Flake

This lovable Great Pyrenees took part in the Mighty Texas Dog Walk on Saturday morning.  He weighs 165 pounds.  So what else to name him but "Snow Flake"!
