Creative Signpost

We were on South First Tuesday and saw a new signpost being erected at Freddie's. A guy named Stoner came out and said he was a waiter there and was working on this creation. The pipe man has a tray (which may eventually sport some beer cans he says) and there is a little pipe dog at the bottom that is relieving himself on the waiter's leg. Stoner said he'd planned to hang a sign on the waiter's street side arm but he might have to rethink because it would block the vision of drivers pulling out of their parking lot. He was also talking of representing the dog's output with some copper wire. Click the picture for a bigger version and a better look.

Sides of SoCo

Shopping on South Congress is popular with Austinites and visitors alike. But don't forget the side streets. This one has a boutique, a vintage shop and a Buy/Sell/Trade record store.

No Gold Medals Here

U.S. women teams fought each other for a gold medal in Beach Volleyball. But the casual players were out in Zilker Park in the summer heat in Austin.
