Pecan Street Festival

Mason called me yesterday and said "Hey, I found out Pecan Street Festival is today! Want to go? Be ready to leave in 20 minutes!" OKAY!

It was a gorgeous day to wander around a festival!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not pictured are the dozen places where you could buy beer, wine, or margaritas and just walk around the festival with them. Is this legal in other cities to drink outside in the middle of the street as long as you're inside a (free) festival?

We ran into our friend Stefanie manning the booth for the Austin NBC/CW station, passing out gummy rings that say not to text and drive...

And Mason and I both made purchases. I found a ring that he doesn't like but makes me happy (and it's MY finger), and he got a painting of Grumpy Cat to bring him joy!

 

And we stopped by the Google Local booth, where Bryn totally recognized Mason and I from writing reviews and attending Google Local events around town, so she gave each of us one of these rocking cool bags without us having to do anything -- she called us VIPs! Hee!

We managed to walk the whole festival before we burned out, feeling hot and tired and done with strangers bumping into us and stepping on our feet. An enjoyable day for sure!
