Austin ModHouse

#2 son had a birthday.  while shopping for a bike for #1 son, #2 son fell in love with a yellow bike.  talked about it non-stop.  so of course we got him the bike for his birthday. 

AUSTIN RESTAURANT WEEK: eleven plates wine bar

ok, so I'm a cheap bastard and I planned accordingly.  we made reservations for JUST after happy hour, and we showed up a few minutes early (before happy hour ended).  bottles of wine are $11 off for happy hour and there is a full HH menu of $5 cocktails and apps (bargain!!).  the klinker brick zin was a delicious wine that was easy on the budget. 

beautiful hill country and 360 bridge view from their balcony deck.

salads were huge and really good.

72 hour short rib was enjoyed by the wife

I loved the roasted arctic char.

some leftover sxsw 2012 pics I found on the other camera...

I recall when the daughter was 10 days old or so, we took her to see the iguanas.  but she doesn't remember.... so we caught a refresher course.

the iguanas at sxsj (south by san jose),  but what the kids really needed was food.  so we went to Mrs P's Electric Cock...

the chicken sliders were good, real good.  but the wait was way too long and they were out of many things on the menu (no waffles, no mac-n-cheese). 

returned to the san jose parking lot stage and caught a nice set from dan mangan.
