What's Happening in Austin

[Arwen]

Can someone tell the danged redheaded boy and his adorable partner that I'm not speaking to them? Kthnkxbai

Must go turn off my email and text.

And stop trying to come up with names.

What do you think of Sasha?

The kitten likes pizza. And dogs.

If you've never been, this is the gist:

Ummmm....I clicked on the 2009 photos in the link and it showed me young kiddos running around and a big ole sign saying alcohol is not allowed in or out. Is there an adult version and a kid's version or did it have a massive overhaul between 2009 and now?

I'm just curious, as I don't have the breasts to pull off the painted look, but I wouldn't mind going just to see what folks wear.

I'm sure alcohol isn't allowed in and out because they want you to buy from the vendors there. THere are plenty of kids, but there are somethings some people may not want their kids exposed to. Like half-naked people and the reek of pot smoke. But it's an open, friendly gathering of austin folks and there's nothing like it. I'm pretty sure the kiddos have access to face paint and other diversions. Parking is the biggest bitch - I'll probably park elsewhere and ride the bus in. My stamina will depend on the heat/weather. it seems like kind of a free and friendly gathering of people in full celebration mode. One guy groped my (clothed) boob there, so that wasn't cool. There are drum circles, dancing, general silliness, costumes, music, a few people selling their wears, food concessions ( if I remember right), etc. You also run into people you'd never expect. It's random.

I myself will not be wearing paint as a shirt or paisties as a shirt - but there will be plenty who do one or the other. Oh, and I'm not sure what the deodorant per person ratio is either. I grew up in Austin, so I'm used to that hippie smell.

It is a must see thing, it is Austin. they do offer parking and bussing in which is necessary as there is not ample parking there at any time. I love to go down and people watch. It willl be cooler in early and late but the later you go the more "Eeyored" the follks get which can be a good thing.

I really think you should go, I have tolkd this to Wil as well I wont be able to handle it this year but maybe you three et al could go check it out.

Hey Austin! I wanna go have some Indian food. I'm off tomorrow so I'm going to do the buffet at the Tandoori Bistro. I'll be there at 11:30 if you have the ability to join me.

Looking forward to the Eggggstravaganza tomorrow night with all who can attend! We have the baskets, grass for them, candy, and a pair of fuzzy socks and a little notebook for each one. All we need now are the hard boiled eggs folks are bringing to the party to "dye" for!

Remember, spaghetti/garlic bread/salad for dinner at 6 p.m. and egg dying starting about 7. There are 50 residents in the nursing home we are taking them to. According to the folks working there, about 20 residents don't get visitors. We are also putting together a candy filled basket for the staff. We thank everyone in advance for bringing a dozen eggs (eggcept out of towners traveling in) already boiled and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night!!!

While *Sassy* may be common, Sassyfrass is not.

She doesn't look like a Guinevere.

Yes but it would get shortened to Sassy. I'll probably ask her to help me name her. Yes, I'm weird.

Chutney?

Update for this Friday's extravaganza (it's just too...too to say eggstravaganza):

6pm spaghetti dinner
by 7pm, we can start the egg coloring and basket making, general festivities, good times

We're making baskets for a senior home with Alzheimer's ward -- they have 50 residents there. The activities director told me there are about 20 residents who never have guests or anything. What's wrong with their families???

N-E-way, we're planning on bringing 50 baskets to hand out, with a couple eggs, some candies and a little non-food item like puzzle book or keep-warm bootie socks.

If you haven't already told me or the Oiley Beauhunk you're coming, will you send one of us a PM?

If you're coming, will you please bring a dozen already-boiled eggs? We could use a couple more dye kits.

We'll get some kind of festive little baskets and stuff

For those coming from out of town...don't worry about bringing eggs, too hard to try to transport them and stuff.
