I Spy...People, Places, and Things, Oh My!

Despite my hectic, I-go-to-school-and-have-two-jobs-and-an-internship schedule, I've managed to sneak in a few lighthearted moments of fun. Of course, I've taken photos of my adventures. In the vein of my previous "I Spy..." post, the snapshots are in a loosely organized fashion.

Happy Monday!
Order numbers at El Taquito in Round Rock:
1941 is one of my favorite films!

Juliana Azar, co-owner of Blackbird Clothes & Curios, is pictured right. Her store tied with Green House for "Best New Business" in The Austin Chronicle's "Best of Austin 2011" Readers Poll. You may recall both boutiques were featured in The Rock the Casbah Fashion Show.
Breed & Co. (718 W. 29th Street) was named
"Best Local Hardware Store" in the same poll.
Decorative night-lights at Breed & Co.
Anyone ever watch the "Put a Bird On It" clip from Portlandia?
The story of my life fits on a magnet!
Outside Breed & Co., with one of the many CowParade displays
that are in Austin at the moment.

"The candy man can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good."

"The Playscape Project" at Breed & Co. was a chance for local architects
to show off their designs for playscapes for small-backyard use.
At Co-Lab (613 Allen Street); the program for MARFITA --
La Virgen Appears: Marfa Re-Mapped.
MARFITA is a large-scale installation
by Josh T. Franco, Alison Kuo, and Joshua Saunders,
with Natalie Goodnow.
I never figured out if the empty beverage containers were meant to be a part of the installation, or if they were litter....
Virgin Mary candles.
I believe this was a miniature artillery shed at MARFITA.
Horseshoes!
Ted Hall's Blues Jam at Kick Butt Coffee (4600 Guadalupe).
Off to work!

    Hi That Chelsea Girl-

    Thanks for posting so many photos from MARFITA. I'm so glad you were able to attend. One minor correction: my name is Josh T Franco, not John. Yes, there are lots of Joshes on the project, and you're not the first to make the names mistake. Again, Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it.
