Follow Up: Creative Fund's February Happy Hour
It was great to see everyone at The Creative Fund's February happy hour last evening. In addition to the good turn out, we enjoyed a monologue by one of Hidden Room Theatre's performers (this is who the people in the photo are watching). I hadn't spent time in Aviary Decor before last evening; it's a great space with good ambience and an interesting selection of home decor items. This is further enhanced by the excellent wine selection (I had a glass of the 2011 Chateau Ducasse Bordeaux Blanc and was especially impressed).
The Creative Fund's Vision:
The Creative Fund's vision is to connect emerging Austin artists with patron resources, elevating works of art into larger venues with larger audiences. Check out The Creative Fund's fact sheet for more information.

Google Does Street View to the Grand Canyon
 |
| The Grand Canyon (W.D. Floyd) |
The Grand Canyon: more than just a giant hole in the ground, it really is one of America's most awesome natural spectacles. I have been to Grand Canyon National Park twice, but unfortunately have only had time to drive the South Rim. Hiking in the Grand Canyon and rafting the Colorado River are high on my to-do list. Until then, our pals at Google have given me a preview with new Street Views of some spots in the area.
You may be thinking: "how can that be? There are no streets in these panoramic photos."
Google has solved this problem by inventing The Trekker, which Google describes as "our latest imagery-gathering apparatus, is a wearable backpack system that allows us to venture to locations only accessible by foot."
If you have seen the Street View car around around your city, imagine it's roof mounted ball (of cameras) now protruding from a hiking backpack. The intent of the Trekker is to expand the Street View catalogue to include hard to reach places of natural beauty and historic significance.
Check out the images of the Grand Canyon and surrounding area. [note: Meteor Crater is not in the Grand Canyon. It is about two hours away, between Flagstaff and Winslow.]
