It was going to be a very hot and humid day so I got an early start with morning coffee at the Galleria Mall in Bee Caves. When I got to the Butridge Gallery in Austin I saw lots and lots of people walking across the lawn of Palmer Auditorium, heading towards the gallery. If they were going to the same art exhibit I had just been to they were going to be disappointed because the art was not very good at all. I did not like any of it. After the exhibit at the Butridge Gallery I had a hour to get to waterloo Records for the noon album release party and live in store performance by Alejando Escovedo. Since I had an hour before the performance I decided to make the long walk to Waterloo Records and arrived with fifteen minutes to spar. On the walk over Lady Bird Lake I came face to face with a male on a bike and the man was wearing nothing more than a G-string. I know it was a hot day and Austin is a very liberal city but this sight was a little too much even for me. On the way back from the musical performance, I stopped at the Austin City Hall and visited the People's Gallery. The art there was much better than the art I had seen at the Butridge Gallery. As I crossed back over Lady Bird Lake, a crew from the Gatorade company had sat up a both on Auditorium Shores and was giving free Gatorade to everyone who passed by. It sure tasted good with the heat index standing at 105. I drank two bottles of the company's new flavor, diet berry. After supper one of the neighbors brought me a large sack of home grown tomatoes and in-turn I did some computer work for him. Looks like rain will cancel all of my social plans for the next two days. I was looking forward to the Cornell Hurd concert on the plaza of the Bullock Museum on Friday night.
