Representing SocialFly at the Austin Bridal Extravaganza today. Ray couldn’t make it because he had a baseball game but Kris and I are here making it happen. This one is our second convention and it’s suppose to be a big one. Thousands of brides or potential clients are expected to show. Our last and first bridal show was much smaller and that was a huge success so we can only hope that this one will only be an even bigger one.
Before the show Kris said he could handle it on his own but in reality there was no way. There were times our booth was so packed that people left because they weren’t getting any help. And since there were only two of us we didn’t have any opportunity to walk around to check out the scene like we did last time, which means no photos of anything and no cake samples for me. Boo.
This is what our prop table looked like during down time, while they were giving away prizes. Craziness! It was definitely another successful event. These conventions are actually a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to the next one. Hope I see you there. Who ever you are, not really sure if anyone reads this blog anymore.
Met up with my girl Yvette today at Kona Grill for some happy hour fun. I don’t think we meet up near enough. After happy hour we headed over to Alamo Draft House to watch Sex In The City. I love days like this.
Today Ray and I attempted to go canoeing but we made the mistake of bringing Kola with us. It was a scorching hot day and I didn’t want to be stuck on a boat if Kola went into a heat stroke so instead we attempted to hike the Green Belt. We got all of 50ft before Kola wanted out. He looked like he was going to have a seizure or something so we walked back to the car. Ah well, we tried. Today is another one of our leisure days and we wanted to explore Austin.
We decided to head out to Austin Trailer Park Eatery since we still have not been. The first thing I bought was cake balls. Yes, cake balls on a stick. So genius!
Should of had a taco from Torchy’s Tacos but I’ve been craving a good hot dog lately so I decided on that instead. Well all in all it was another great day. Austin Trailer Park Eatery consider yourself checked! Green Belt and canoeing I’ll be back for you.
I love days like this, where your just free to go where the wind takes you. Well we’re taking full advantage of it and being productive at the same time by checking off our Austin list and we’re starting it off at Juan in a Million. Juan in a Million is an iconic business in Austin. As a matter of fact, Man VS Food has even been there. This is how Adam prepares for Juan In a Million.
After watching Juan in his element it really doesn’t surprise me anymore that Juan in a Million is so successful. I think if your a business owner you should make a trip over to Juan for some breakfast tacos, ask for a seat by the front door and watch Juan work his magic. He stands by the door and literally greets each and every guest that walks through. It’s almost as if everyone that walks through is family because that’s how he makes them feel. Shit, I’m not gonna lie, that’s how he made us feel and I totally knew what he was up to. He totally won our hearts and before we left Ray and I are like, “we gotta come back.” Seriously, it’s just breakfast tacos, eggs, cheese, flour tortilla, but Juan’s infectious energy makes you think they tastes so good. I started my morning off with tres leches. It was good but doesn’t come close to Chuy’s tres leches.
Ray and his big ass breakfast tacos.
And mine, just like I like em, potatoes and eggs, but damn it, I always forget to ask for corn tortillas!
Well Juan In A Million considered yourself checked. Check! Next is IMAX theater to watch Shrek in 3D.
After the movies we start to get hungry again so we head over to Carlos’ and Charlie’s, which also happens to be on our list. Check!
Well, the food is not amazing and the service sucks elephant butt. I suggest you come here for the pretty sunsets.
In Huston for business. SocialFly has a quincietta event but since were here we mine as well visit our good friends Marcos. He has a new home that we’ll be staying in tonight. The next day we all went to the Houston Dub Car Show. Heard it was something stupid like 40 bucks to get in but Ray got the hook up from Hack Shack and we all got in for free. Free, I love that word.
Sweet! Low rider bikes. I know I’m so gangsta but can’t help it I love em.
This one is definitely one of my faves. Love the graphics but I think my favorite part is the sweet velvet curtains. Kinda makes me wish I had my dream car, a VW Bus just so I can hang up some curtains.
Hey, a concert up in here. Dim the lights, let’s get our dance on.
I’m pretty sure this is Nelly’s car.
Even had some dancers. They had no ass but still nice eye candy.
Oh my god Becky, look at her butt. Its so big. She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends. I mean her butt. It’s just so big. I can’t believe it’s so round. It’s just out there.
Play for 5 minutes and get a free T-Shirt. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.
Glad I we got in free and even more glad there were finally slutty models at this car show. Houston, your still a ghetto bitch, but I love you anyways.
On the drive home Kola sleeps with a photo of us. Awe, my heart is warm n fuzzy.
In Dallas for business but heard through the grapevine that it’s Mama TalPlacido’s birthday. How convenient. Spotted this Mrs. Baird’s car while cruising. Funny I always said that it looks just like a toaster oven.
Mama is loved.
My favorite rug rat.
Afterwords we went out for some drinks with Ben and Mabel.
Today Ray hit a home run! Seriously, my husband hits more home runs than anyone I know. Here’s a video of him running in.
Usually after the games the team goes out, I want to say to celebrate, but they don’t win much games. Not that they’re not good, it’s more like it’s hard to get everyone to show up. On a different day, we went to Sam’s Boat then headed to Little Woodrow’s. I heard we drank something stupid like 18 pitchers of beer. Sheesh!
Seems like that list of things to do in Austin I have is getting shorter and shorter by the day. Well, another to check off the list is visiting Blanton Museum of Art. Before we headed in though we stopped by the cafeteria and then to the gift store where I got to take this sweet bike on a test ride.
The seat was too high and made it kinda hard to ride but besides that it was pretty fucking sweet and I so want one. The bike is super light and I should have videoed it because you can totally fold the bike up to fit in your pocket, well, not that small but you get the point. Lets move on.
Pretty sweet place. This is why I love museums. If I were alone I could stay here all day just reading about each and every piece of art but I’m not and I hate feeling rushed or making others wait for me so I just skim the art.
Okay, I’m not gonna lie, I’m not a fan and I don’t get it. I feel like my 3 year old kid, had I had one, could do this. I especially hate it when people try to act like they understand it, like they’re so much deeper, intelligent and important than everyone else. Please, someone just threw a bunch of colors on a piece of canvas. It probably took them less than 5 minutes. However I do applaud them for taking advantage of the stupid and getting rich off it. In that sense, kudos to you.
Bones and pennies. The question is who’s bones do these belong to?
This one I like because I feel like it’s something Ray and I could do and put up in our house; a big chalkboard. Dig it!
Now here’s some of my favorite art from today.
Head on a platter.
Boobs on a platter.
Big head on a stand.
There was more but my stupid camera ran out of batteries. Oh well.
