Yellow Flower #7, Cottonwood Art Festival

Can you tell I'm struggling for picture material? These flowers have a plastic look to them that I find oddly appealing.

yellow flower #7

Next week is the Cottonwood Art Festival though. Plenty of photo material there. The John Gaar Band is playing both Saturday & Sunday, May 7 & 8th. I met his wife on a plane last year on the way back from JavaOne. She was a vendor. I was attending. She was really cool and made the plane trip fun for a change. They moved from Somewhere in California to Austin for a change of pace & hopefully luck. I think it's working out. We'll be there for the opening Saturday at 10:30am (yes, that early - he plays until 11:45am) in order to see him. I'll have my Astros hat on & Noah will be with us. Stop by & say hi.

We were sitting right behind the beer stand from around 10:30am to 11:45am, then wandered around for a couple of hours. We were at a table with my in-laws, which might have thrown you off. The thing turned into this big family outing. My brother and his roommate's wife & kid were with us too. (long story) It was family overload.

Now Mother's Day today... I'm gonna be worn out by tonight.

I'll post some pics soon.

Saundra,

I posted them in a flickr set at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/astros/sets/322639/

The original files are available on that site... click
on an individual picture then click the "All Sizes"
link. The originals are 6 megapixel files.

We all enjoyed the music & I'll stop by & sign the
guestbook soon.

I'd be happy to customize the description on the
flickr set however you & John want... just send me
some text to include. I guess a reference to your
website would be good at a minimum....

I am about to book my JavaOne stuff too... time
flies!!!
