Halloween - Chris and I decided to dress up this year. A few of our friends had a party. I'm not big into wearing full costumes or painting my face, so I found a cute and easy birds nest headpiece to make on Martha Stewart's website. Crafty and me usually don't mix, but the headpiece came out awesome. Chris went as Frank from 30 Rock. You know who that is? Frank? Watch 30 Rock, people! It's the best comedy on TV!
Wurstfest - 10 day salute to sausage which involved many encased meats, BEER, polka, fried food, carnival games and rides. Highlights of the night include - conga line to zippity do da, tilt-a-whirl and giving myself awful indigestion from eating too much sausage.
Fun Fun Fun Fest - Gah...it was the day after Wurstfest. Hopefully next year they will make these two fests on different weekends. With a name like Fun Fun Fun Fest you expect a lot, and they always deliver. FFFF is a small indie music fest. This year one of my favorite bands, Les Savy Fav, played. They never disappoint. I also got to see The Jesus Lizard. Chris loves them and now I see why!
Les Savy Fav - Tim Harrington
Eklhart, TX - Took a trip to the piney woods of East Texas to see myGrandma and Mom. It was nice to see them. My Grandma is the sweetest lady in the world. Seriously.
E.A.S.T. - East Austin Studio Tour. 10 days, tons of art studios all rightin my neighborhood. This was the first year I attended the studio tour. Some friends met at our house and we rode our bikes all over East Austin. Bloody marys, art, beer and biking...makes for a great Saturday.
Next up Thanksgiving! I'm so excited about cooking! A few of our good friends are coming over for a nice, laid back turkey day. I have been working on the menu for over a week and still can't decide on the side dishes. Off I go to read more recipes and find more inspiration even though I'm already overwhelmed with choices.
