Saturday is for diversity
TEXAS! TEXAS! YEE-HAW! TEXAS! FIGHT! TEXAS! FIGHT!
Yay! Got my picture taken with the big #1 on the UT Tower. It was lit up all weekend, January 6,7, & 8 for the city to enjoy. UT will light it again when school starts January 17. Saturday was quite the diverse day! I met up with Christine and Nicole (A/K/A CnN) for a night of culture AND rock n roll. First, we went to a vodka and tea tasting party hosted by the Austin Lyric Opera, in advance of the opera called Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Our good friend Liz Cass had a great performance in her roll as the prostitute Sonyetka. So we got a little buzz on in the Texas Memorial Museum lobby, then walked over to Bass Concert Hall for an eye opening opera! I highly recommend seeing it. In my next post I'll have a sample of Liz's opera-ness in honor of Christine's bday.
Then it was over to the Red Eyed Fly for some Nooner. Their first live Austin show with the new guitarist, Errol. We decided to change clothes in the car. (THAT was interesting) I realized we were RIGHT by the orange tower with the huge #1 on it, so we HAD to get some photos. The Nooner show had a good turn out, given the fact they didn’t go on til 1am. Great show, guys!
