Friday’s pre-Halloween party at Monster Car Wash was so good, I forgot to take pictures. Well, I took a few, but mostly I just hung out and talked to girls in sexy costumes. Apparently, “whore” and “slut” were popular choices this year, and I’d like to take a moment to say thank you, I am truly grateful. In fact, I think girls should wear stuff like that all the time, and not just in strip clubs. It should be a law.

I also think they should serve pie and donuts in nightclubs, so clearly I’m an idiot.

Every April, Austin locals gather to celebrate Eeyore’s birthday. Yes, that Eeyore. The sad little donkey from the Winnie the Pooh books by A. A. Milne. The tradition was started in 1963 by a group of english students from the University of Texas and the party’s gotten bigger every year. Much, much bigger.

In case you were wondering, we totally blew off Texas Week at SPI this year in favor of the South by Southwest (SXSW) music conference in Austin, Texas (more on that in a moment).
It’s funny but the whole photo series started to look more or less like a road trip scrapbook, so I kinda’ just went with that and attached a barely coherent essay to go with it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
