What a great weekend!
On Saturday, I attended the Bayou City Art Festival in Memorial Park. It took me over four hours to peruse the booths. The artists were from all over the country and there was something there for everyone. Paintings, sculpture, photography, photography paintings... you get the idea. A plethora of mediums and styles to suit everyone.
I knew that this would be wonderful right from the start when the first exhibit at the entrance was a display of brightly colored, outdoor, wind-powered, mobiles. I am probably mistaken in their description, but man were they just a joy to look at as they moved in the breeze. It just got better from there... the overwhelming number of artists were very friendly and loved to talk about how they created their work. I did take my camera, but I just have a thing about taking pictures of an artists pieces.
After wandering around for over four hours, I was famished so I headed over to one of my favorite burger joints - 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. Cheeseburger with grilled onions and grilled mushrooms... oh yeah!
Headed back to 14 Pews on Sunday to see a showing of Don Hertzfeldt's animated short film "It's Such a Beautiful Day". I love going to this place because the company is wonderful. The film was not my cup of tea, but there were a couple of patrons there that LOVED the film and the after show discussion was very entertaining. Then it hit me...
DAMN!!! I missed the Houston Food Truck Festival (Haute Wheels Houston)! Next year...
