Pecan Street Festival

John and I went to the Pecan Street Festival today. The girls were busy making Homecoming mums, and my both my friends who like to do stuff like that were sick, so John sacrificed and went with me. I had a blast! I love looking at all the creative stuff, and trying to figure out how to make it myself. I see visions of me doing shows like that someday. (It'll probably never happen, but I can dream.) I usually end up buying some small gift for someone, taking a few pictures of really cool stuff (I forgot my camera this time), and spend a great deal of time watching people.

Austin has the most interesting folks in the world. Leslie (the resident cross dresser) was out taking pictures with the tourists, but he's not the only interesting person out there. There are people covered head-to-toe with tattoos and piercings, people with kids in strollers, dogs (and sometimes cats) on leashes, a guy with a snake draped around his shoulders, countless outlandish hairstyles, great bands on the side streets playing all different kinds of music, people handing out political pamphlets. All in all, it's very entertaining to me - and FREE. You should go with me sometime.

Thanks, John for going this time!
