Austin 11/03/2019

Today I did a lot of walking. First I walked to the LBJ Library, which I didn’t enter because I didn’t want to pay.

Then I walked to the Bullock Texas State History Museum. Here, I learned a lot about the history of Texas, very interesting. You can easily spend over 2 hours at the museum if you like. They also had free wifi and a cafeteria, perfect for a small break after such a long tour.

I continued my walk towards Littlefield Fountain and the UT Tower (University of Texas).

By then it was late afternoon and my hunger was perfectly timed. I had linner (late lunch, early dinner) at Kerbey Lane Cafe, the students cafe close to campus that offers good food for a fair price.

An Uber took me to Mount Bonnell, a small mountain/ hill west of downtown. It gives a beautiful view over the river. Sports shoes are recommended but don’t expect a serious hike. It’s supposed to be a nice spot to watch the sun go down, unfortunately the weather was very grey and foggy so that didn’t work out. Next to the view over the river, the view of the riversides made me dream. Both sides were filled with big beautiful mansions with pools and their own personal piers and boats. If only I had been a nanny for one of those families...

Ah well, moving on. As I walk down the hill in order to make my Uber ride back to the motel cheaper, I pass by Mayfield - Gutsch House and Gardens. A pretty, small garden with some peacocks. By the time I found out there were small hiking tours next to the property, it was already getting dark so I called an Uber to get back to my motel.

In the evening I went to “the Vortex” down the street. It’s cose place that offers a garden/ terrace with an Italian foodtruck, a cafe, theatre and live performance. I had a drink, listened to some live jazz and got to pet one of the cats. It’s so strange, but whenever someone asks me if I am homesick, I have to admit I miss my cats most of all. Nothing beats hugging your pets..

Bday shout to the head of our fabrication dept, Foster Romano. First met Foz when he was 14, he took all the workshops i did at Colorado College/Bemis School of Art. Little did we know who we met. Turns out, he surpassed all the adults that took the classes & completely kicked butt at all the projects we tackled. Immediately asked him to collaborate and now Foz forges all the weapons for our Pueblo Revolt 1680/2180 characters. He’s now in these 6 museums next to me... @iaiamocna Palace of the Governors @bullockmuseum @kennedycenter @mammontclair and @metmuseum HAPPY 16th lil brotha! Follow him to see his art @foster_romano cheers! (at ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9hrD1-gAEV/?igshid=1sjzg7yhkna1h

I’m that mom that knows well in advance about the museum report and when it’s due and has all the intention of getting it done early. Yet somehow we end up running to the museum on the weekend before it’s due. 🤦‍♀️ . . . #museumreport #momfail #BullockMuseum #museum #saturdayfun (at Bullock Texas State History Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJyQ4snQYj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nt9q9my5bte8

Huge thank U to 15yr old Foz 👉🏽 @foster_romano for the fabricated Aeronauts & Venutian Soldier weaponry, you rOcK!🙌🏽 Welcome to our Artist Alliance: Nation of Creation fam. 🔃 @bullockmuseum ....In today's #StuffWithStaff, Assistant to the Museum Director Javier admires a striking figure created by native Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz. "Its commanding presence, the vibrant red color, and the eye-catching embellishments manage to be both futuristic and quintessentially heroic. It's a great bridge between the old and new, and the story that inspired it is a great example of a voice that many people wouldn't immediately connect with science fiction. I guess it’s a perfect example that no matter where we're from, looking out into space sparks our imagination and fills us with child-like curiosity." See Cuda the Aeronaut and other multimedia works by Ortiz in the exhibition Cowboys in Space, now on view.
