Gotta Dance

We stopped by Jo's Hot Coffee on South Congress yesterday on our walk to hear a bit of the Sinner's Brunch. We just stayed and listened but this couple took to the parking lot for dancing. (FFP shot this with his iPhone.)

Purple Party

Last weekend we attended the Long Center Purple Party. It's a multilevel, multifaceted party held around the non-profit public center's anniversary with a VIP dinner, a performance (this year it was an Elton John cover group backed by a symphony and choir) and an after party on the City View Terrace. I shot this there with the ring lit for the occasion and the lights of some food trucks that provided refreshments for youngsters (and some oldsters) dancing to music I couldn't classify. It was a lively benefit gala.

Graffiti Bus Visiting Source

In the '60's and '70's we would have called this a 'hippie bus.' Bikes on the back, makeshift curtains, living arrangements inside. This one looked mobile and a bit more modern for this century. It says on the front "Blue Heaven" and was parked at the graffiti heaven on the northern cutoff stretch of Baylor. License plate said Florida. Do you think the bus visits graffiti sites or that these guys were passing through and felt comfortable here?

Good Morning!

FFP rolled out of bed nice and early this morning. He snapped this picture of what he saw while having his oatmeal and sip of coffee.

If Pigs Could Fly...

I know many faithful readers don't think we can get further away from downtown than our feet can easily take us but sometimes we drive and go to dinner. This wonderful joint is on 53rd Street and we ate there last month. I like the flying pig logo.

A New Installation

Austin has a new art installation. The red swing project places swings in public places. Jackie shot this couple long distance from her apartment getting their own record of the project at the corner of Guadalupe and Second. I don't know where the other swings are but I'm sure we will be seeing them.

Theme Day: Bakeries

Today is theme day at City Daily Photo. The theme is bakeries. Rather than show you croissants or even pictures of cakes, I offer this bench in front of Sugar Mama's on South First. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants
