Greg Davis RIP Season
The 2010 Longhorn football season is shaping to be one of the worst in recent memory. Offensive coach Greg Davis has been the target of a large amount of the criticism. As Mack Brown said in an ESPN interview, “People want to hang somebody. They want somebody fired. The want somebody put out on the [...]
FunFunFun Fest 2010 Day2
Day 2 of FunFunFun Fest is in the books. It was noticeably more crowded than Friday and coupled with the fact that Waterloo Park isn’t as well maintained as parks like Zilker there was a lot of dirt in the air. Although my lungs were filled with dust my ears were treated to some great [...]
FunFunFun Fest 2010 Day1
Feeding Austin’s insatiable need for live music, and a bunch of it in one place, FunFunFun Fest has been packing Waterloo Park in the heart of downtown since 2006. This year is no exception with a great lineup. Weird Al Yankovic closed the show on Day 1 with a barrage of costume changes and in [...]
UT Torchlight Parade and Rally
The University of Texas Torchlight Parade and Rally is held every year under the UT tower to show support for the Longhorn football team as they go on to play the University of Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry in Dallas. My sometimes out of focus video doesn’t give justice to the excitement of the [...]
UT Longhorns versus Wyoming
Saturday was the first home game for the UT Longhorns against Wyoming. Game time was not until 6 PM which gave plenty of time to tailgate, eat and drink lots of beer. Some of my favorite places were the Saint Arnold Brewery and the Royal’s Lounge tent. Both are around the 18th and Trinity area. [...]

Unfortunately, in contrast to last year taking pictures was prohibited. I was able to take pictures for about three minutes before I was told to put it away. They were [...]
Brushy Creek Lake Park, Cedar Park
Besides the great night life one of Austin’s best qualities is its great parks. From Town Lake to it’s many dog parks if you are looking to get outside there are plenty of opportunities. Keeping in tune with the community the city of Cedar Park has created a great park with accommodations for almost anything [...]
Seaholm Power Plant, Austin TX
The Seaholm Power Plant officially ceased operations in 1989 and the plant has pretty much remained a dormant structure until the last few years. Rather than demolition the City of Austin opted to use the building as a focal point of development in the area. In the last year it has hosted multiple outdoor music [...]
Girl Talk – Free Press Summer Fest 2010
Girl Talk had the whole crowd moving on Saturday night at FPSF. If this doesn’t make you bob your head and want to throw your hands in the air nothing will. Here are some pictures from Day 1 and Day 2 of the fest.
Austin Wine & Music Festival 2010
Three days of good wine, good music and good food. That’s what The Austin Wine & Music Festival provided this year. Even with the temperature creeping towards 100 degrees thousands came out to The Domain to get a taste of great Texas wine. I did have a grilled cheese sandwich from Chedds and it was [...]
