The Colorodo river cuts right through the city of Austin. There's a great park built around it called Town Lake. Another great bike ride around town lake.
Me and Stevie Ray Vaughn. These live nativitys are popular at christian churches in middle america.
Updating this web site at the motel. On the phone there's a sign that says "Life's great at Super 8." This may be the deep philosophical wisdom I was looking for on this trip. Dot com professionals from Austin's once thriving industry are gathered here at a Day Labor Assembly Point. The once promising socialites hope for an enterprising venture capitalist to hire them for the day and give them a menial job such as building a demo, writing a marketing proposal, or acting as the technincal guy on a sales call. In exchange, the VC's provide them with soda and candy bars.
The Museum of Natural History on the University of Texas campus. Cool Flying dinasaur skeleton discovered by a UT grad student while smoking pot in the woods behind his dorm.
This prehistoric anchovie was over ten feet long. It was theorized by the same stoner grad student to have been a topping on a humungous prehistoric pizza. A cool Irish bar, BD Rileys, on 6th street.
Sunday nights at BD Rileys is an Irish music jam. When the locals at the bar learned I was new in town, a couple took me to the Hotel across the street to check out the Christmas setup. This is with a Gingerbread house.
Me in front of the hotel tree. This is a statue of a Widow Maker. A widow maker is when a rider falls off the horse, but his foot is caught in the stirrup.
