Adventures in Coffee

Ran out of espresso beans so I went on one of my morning drives to Progress. I kept it short and sweet this time and just shot a couple things on the way there rather than creeping through east of downtown like I often do... Because I have things to do today -- I was really excited to get home and make that coffee and we may be heading to Barton Springs -- happy Friday!  Love Austin!

BUT if you are interested in following my espresso project, MENH, My Espresso in Its Native Habitat, you can catch up here, on Instagram.  

As you can see, I discovered that Kaos DJ Mike Danger has an alter ego or a cousin. On another note - one of his bands, The Knocked Out Stiffs, is playing tonight at Emo's East, along with Pocket FishRmen, Brewtality Inc., The Chumps, and Sabbath Crow. Wow, writing all that just made me realize what a great show this is going to be!

FFF Weekend on the Sidelines Finale

 

If you've seen recent posts, you know that I sat out FFF. And made silly little videos of myself grooving out to great songs in the car after my drop-offs or before my pick-ups (I had a nice routine going - after drop-off & before pick-up: random and whimsical wandering adventures and relaxation around Austin ... OK, one more pick-up). 

I dropped Mike off at FFF in the early afternoon on Saturday and ended up downtown. After cruising around for a bit then taking a rest stop at City Hall, I crossed the street to go down by the water, on the other side of the Colorado River from FFF. The music (mainly bass!) floated through the air along with cheers from the crowd. The sound was pretty thrilling. Austin is awesome.

I walked along the water's edge, checking out the plants and trees until I crept up on this tattered building. Whenever I discover this kind of abandoned building, I approach it slowly, with fear - and adrenaline - I suppose. I imagine rabid, drug-addicted squatters inside and slowly push the door open anyway:

Awesome weekend. Awesome city. I love Austin! I mentioned in my first FFF Weekend on the Sidelines post that I ended up getting a wild hair and going on the last day so check back soon! I'm really excited about one shot and one shot only.
