Harumph.
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 withseegrimthe 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.

Amen!
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. :)
