We said farewell to two of our most beloved Bulldogs on Friday, Alvin and Emily, who are moving on to new adventures in their careers. What better way to say ‘good luck’ than with a bright, tropical happy hour at Fonda San Miguel.

She Craves played at Emo’s on Friday, kick ass show as always. Right before them was a ska band from Baton Rouge, complete with a 5-piece horn section. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a good, live ska show. They were absolutely brilliant.

My friend and co-worker, Sueann, and her fiance, Michael, were married on Saturday at a castle in Burnet. Did you know we had Castles in Texas? I didn’t either. But we do. And they are HUGE (take that Europe!).

A week home from Ruidoso and the sensory overload is finally starting to wear off enough to give a basic update. It’s hard to know where to start, so maybe I’ll start at the end and work my way backwards. Here is an except from an email we received from Todd, our fearless leader, a [...]

I am heading out to Ruidoso, New Mexico tomorrow for what my friend, Kate, calls ‘Photo Camp.’ It’s really a Photography Workshop, but I giggled so much when she said ‘Photo Camp’ - like it was a middle school volleyball camp or something - that’s all I can call it now. So much for sophistication.
