So. We're back from Austin. Had a fabulous time. Did some antiquing. Nabbed some fabby Spode plates that were far underpriced, (score!) and some antique handkercheifs for my collection. So pretty.
We did Austin-y things. Kerby Lane. Chuys, SoCo, Magnolia Cafe. 6th Street. I'm far to old for that by the way. I know, because I had an interesting hungover conversation with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
seegrimthe next morning in which it took two hours to reply in the document I was working in.
Oooh! Also, saw 27 Dresses at the Alamo Drafthouse. Seriously, any movie theatre that sells beer & food, and has waiters that cater to you during the movie? Okay in my book. And 27 Dresses? Well, I didn't care for Katherine Heigl at all (with the exception of the dress montage), but James Marsden? So. Much. Love. I didn't feel the chemistry between them even a little bit, and wanted to rip her out of the way, so I could do it properly. Guh. The boy is adorable. Benny and the Jets? Out of this world. Though, the lyrics are right there on the album cover! (sue_bridehead? Can I get an amen?)
We also toured the capitol building. I am such an architecture geek. Have pics to post. Maybe tomorrow.
So tired. There's no place like home.

RUN, run, run to see it. He's so completely adorable, and then buy it when it comes out on DVD so you can squee anytime you want.
That's what I'm going to do, anyway.

Yeah, baby - Elton John! :D My daughter wants to see "27 Dresses." It looks like fun.
Oh, I love touring historical things, but I can't get my family to go anywhere. (Hubby will go if there's a lot of majestic artwork - but you never know till you get there...) We have lived in Phoenix for the past 9 years, and have we even been to the capitol? No! I must correct that. :-/ Yes, pics are required, so spam away!

Re: Amen!
Elton, of course, rocks.
And yeas, I don't usually want to go, but I have sort of a good time once I'm there. :)

My parents lived in Austin a long time ago (40+ years). Mom loved it. I've always wanted to go.
And yeah, 27 Dresses is a must-see for the Cormac viewing alone.

I posted them. I don't know that they're all that interesting, though.
