Tea-Sip Kuntry

Charlie and I rose with the sun on Saturday

to hit the road for Austin.

Well, it wasn't really at dawn but anything before

9 on a Saturday might as well be!

We helped a few of our friendly Austin neighbors

clean up Lady Bird Johnson park.

We made a few new friends

like the loverly fellow above, Mr. Stinko.

I think he fits his name pretty well!

He is a Griffon Bruxellois (or Brussels griffon)and was rockin' a pretty sweet beard!

In return for our hard labor (30 min of picking up candy wrappers)

we got access to a private party with one of our favorite

artists, Eric Hutchinson at Malverde.

The Omni Austin downtown
was lovely and within walking distance

of everything we wanted to do.

I actually prefer walking to driving

especially when there are cool sights to see

and picture to capture along the way!

Here's a photo opt. with the man of the hour

Mr. Hutchinson!

The venue was hosted by barefoot wines

in a super rad venue!

just as a side note....ain't my man dreamy...hubba, hubba!!

This was Eric's play list.

He made my weekend by playing a little ditty

combining 'My Girl' and 'Ignition'.

It was such a fun concert and the cherry on top was

that friends who recently moved to Austin

got to meet up with us for the partya!

After the show we walked over

to Stubbs where Charlie and I saw our first concert together.

We actually went to the Hoobastank concert here

before we were even dating!

Here we are reenacting the pic

we took that fateful evening almost 7 years ago!

After a yummy dinner of Stubb's bar-b-q

Charlie took me to the vintage Paramount theatre

to see a showing of the 1939 movie

Wuthering Heights!

This was such a treat for me

because I LOVE ol' timey theatres

and Wuthering Heights is one of my favorite books too!

The theater was huge and even had

opera boxes.

A lil back history:

The theater was built in 1910

The premiere of the first Batman movie in 1966 was at this theatre.

Even the ceilings were glamorous!

No wonder people got so dressed up to

go to the movies way-back-when.

We had a beautiful time

with good music, fun friends, and sweet memories!

Gotta love the weekends!
