This is the 11th part of EpiclyLaterd's spotlight on John Cardiel. I had to share this one with yall. Cardiel is sick, just watch. Unless maybe you don't like the F-word or maybe sickness.
William F. Buckley died this week. This is one of the best videos of him. It's from 1969--a debate/chat with Noam Chomsky. I am personally more of a Noam Chomsky fan. Can you imagine anything like this on television now-a-days? This is part one of two from youtube. If you want to see the second part, you know where to go.
Uncle Billy's has some solid brews. The Barbque was good too. We did not have any, but the dude sitting next to me at the bar gave me his leftovers (seriously).
People are going to start thinking Daniela is our roommate or child. She's in every blog post.
Steve Varon had a vision of the Dalai Lama carrying the 2008 Olympic Torch in part of its planned route to Beijing. Due to China's political standing with the Dalai Lama, Steve's vision is going to take a lot of work to become a reality. Submitted for the Pangea Day contest.
I just deleted all my links on the left hand side of the page. Oh well. Seriously how many of you even used them anyway? One. Two. You can still click on the CafePress link and buy some awesome gear. And the Flickr link to see some insanely professional photography.
I might put up some links in the future. Probably just friends and connected blogs/sites. But not now.
As mentioned earlier, Sofia's parents were in town this past weekend. We had a good time. Whilst thier car was being towed we were at the mall.
And the LAF water stand during the Austin Marathon.
These are pretty much the only pictures I took while they were in town. Well these and a photo of a bagel. I don't know why I have been weak lately, picturewise. Maybe I am just burned out from Europe. Yeah, that's it. We'll stick with that for now.
If yr ever lucky enough to stay at our casa, don't park in the parking lot. Put it on the streets. We learned this the hard way when Sofia's Parental's car was towed. And I mean towed for real...all the way out to the shadiest of the shady, Austinstyle.
We got there just in time. Any later and their ride could of looked like this, windows knocked out, tires flat.
Sofia got a job!!! Yes, now we can start eating out more! I have a lot of places to try. First on the list (sort of) - Magnolia Cafe. I really just wanted to try the Mag Mud. It ruled.
It also means more guilt free stops at this place!
We hung out by Town Lake the other day. It doesn't look like a lake to me. More of a river. But I aint no geologist or whomever makes those kind of calls.
Cheese(y)
Later we met up with Daniela under some space trees.
And had pizza at Homeslice. Grimaldi's...no. Good...yes. Good beer too.
