Back In Austin 2011 - Paper Hats, Pies And SXSW

For the last two weeks, I've been in Austin, TX to hang out with SCAD friends and enjoy South By Southwest. I binged on incredible food and beer (staff at Casino El Camino knew me on a first-name basis by the end of the week), walked until my feet went raw (averaging 8.8 miles per day for 13 days), was in a world's largest pie fight, saw the world premier of Billy's Birthday and my first Old Murder House Theatre performance of Back To The Future. It was a blast.

I was posting photos onto Flickr and Facebook throughout the break, but I'll just post some of the best here. I'll probably be throwing up more this week.

I walked through this bridge every day from Zach's house (where I was staying) to downtown.

To me, this pic is the fail of the year- I'd give my right arm to have had his head in focus.

At the Strokes free concert. SXSW Music + free, open-to-the-public concert + St. Patrick's day = the most amount of people I have ever seen in my life. Holy Christ.

March 14th (3.14) was Pi Day, so there was the "World's Largest Pie Fight." Only problem is it costs $1500 to be verified by Guiness, so we were basically just a big group of people throwing pies.

Regardless, we had fun.

Also there was a water gun fight.

This picture I really love because it's so reminiscent of the photo I took in Florence, Italy.
Florence, Austin.. Maybe I should photo rowers beneath bridges around the world.

Good time.
