Midnight Requisition

I'll be posting more of these in the coming weeks.

These are photos from my trip to Austin this past weekend.  Austin is a place that definitely lives up to the hype.  They say it's the capitol of live music and I have to say, there is live music everywhere!  It's kind of unavoidable.  Nevertheless, I went to a spectacular wedding and saw lots of friends and made the rounds at some of the tourist sights.   I found this amazing portrait at the top at an antique store (where I later knocked over and broke a birdhouse, oops!) and of course I was super stoked to see this portrait of Ann Richards at the Capitol building.

This is one of my favorite songs and I was lucky to wake up to it playing on the record player this morning.  While pulling up the embed code for the blog I played this video a few times, in the round, which I definitely recommend trying.  Thanks, Sebadoh, for rocking my Wednesday.

I am excited to have my 400th post be about Nancy Spero, a total badass.  More on Spero here .

As Mother's Day approaches I wanted to give a shout out to all my friends who are wonderful moms and to my own mother who is my guiding light (and is also in that amazing horse photo at the top of my blog).  I also want to thank two of my favorite ladies in the whole world, my Grandma Dorothy and Lala (Grandma Helen).  I miss you both!
