Lots of vignettes from SXSW which highlight quite an interesting side of Austin.

4. I've been in

north central since January. What a BORE!
However, I did make a quick trip to Austin a few weeks ago. sigh
I'll get back. Soon. Just have to finish my business up here...

Thanks for posting. No, I couldn't bear to watch the whole thing. Yet.
This past weekend was the worst so far. I want to sit under the trees. Poke my toes in the water ...
And with all the rain in that area, the toobing is going to be fantastic!


EDIT: Okay. Watched it all. Where are the dogs? I've never been to that part of the park without dogs all over the place.

For my daughter's graduation from UT

View of the Capitol Building from my hotel rooftop



View of it as we drove down Congress



The UT Tower lit up during the campus wide outdoor graduation ceremony (they lit it up different colors for each school--this was for her school--Fine Arts)



MLK, Jr statue on campus (Tower in the background)



Cesar Chavez statue on campus



Students for Vegetarianism sign




The storm I ran into (actually, I was trying to haul ass PAST it) near Waco on my way home




Video of closing song and FIREWORKS at the outdoor ceremony (gets into focus 14 seconds into it--whoops, new camera!). Got more firework video but this was the best cuz it had the group song in it)

6. Oh those are nice

Congratulations to your daughter on her graduation. Hook'em Horns!

You were so close to Barbara Jordan's new statute too. It's really cool. It's just north of the Union. (close to the Tower). You were on the North mall, near the Union when you took a picture of the Students for Vegetarianism sign.
