Judy in Austin

Our good friend (and former sister-in-law) Judy came to visit us in Austin. That's a picture of me enjoying a Lone Star Beer with her at Esther's Follies -- a comedy show we like on 6th at Red River. We've been a few times and always enjoy it.

The photo album starts with a plaque on Pecan/6th St near Esther's Follies that commemorates Leslie Cochran. He's one of those fellows that worked hard to keep Austin Weird. We did bump into him years ago wandering the streets near SoCo and said the ourselves -- what the heck was that? A bearded guy in a tutu?

Anyways, we enjoyed Esther's Follies and, thankfully, weren't drawn onto the stage. That's a danger of sitting near the front.

We visited the Bullock (or "Texas State History") Museum and had lunch at the Texas Chili Parlor Bar (have a mad dog margarita with that enchilada), took in some music at Guero's Taco Bar under the live oaks and Rachel Laven at in a Barker House concert, visited the Broken Spoke,  enjoyed some music and had a Purgatory Player's brunch, checked out the "Sacred Waters of Barton Springs", had a lunch at the Oasis on Lake Travis and some brisket at the Salt Lick BBQ near Dripping Springs, took in a Mystery Monday show at the Backstage El Mercado and showed her one of the many "Moonlight Towers" (there's one at Monroe and S 1st near the El Mercado).

We kept her busy. We all had fun .
