I went to Austin yesterday with my childhood best friend.  We've been friends since elementary school.  Almost a solid 20 years.  Wowza.

Anywhoo, Manders wanted to go see a few museums for extra credit in her college drawing class and invited me along.  I wish I could have taken pictures of the exhibits we saw because they were amazing.  We saw one of the Gutenberg Bibles and the first ever photograph in the Harry Ransom Center which is on the UT Campus.  I had never actually been on the UT campus.  It was really pretty.  I wish I could have taken pictures of what we saw in that museum but cameras weren't permitted.  :(  there was some douchebag who was taking pictures but I didn't want to be that asshole who can't follow directions.

We also went to a musemum  that was dedicated to women artists.  I didn't get many pictures of that but I did get a few.

So what was nifty.  We went to a few other museums but I'm not really the "artsy" type.    I can't help it.  I'm just not that into art.  It's either pretty or ugly.  Cool or lame.  I still had fun dangling my toes in something I don't usually indulge in.

What was TOTALLY FREAKING AWESOME was the Museum of Weird on 6th street.

Museum of the Weird

They had this cool shop with campy horror type stuff and in the back, the museum.  Even further back, this cool magician who let me chain him up and then told my fortune.  No lie.
