June bug plagueAlrighty, I'm back in North Texas after a quick 2 day trip to Houston. Houston is not one of my favorite places by any means. Traffic, flooding, humidity....take your pick. On Friday we were able to visit 8 contemporary art galleries in the Richmond/Montrose Blvd. area of town. We saw some great art in our 2 hours of browsing. Some of the highlights were the McClain Gallery, Rudolph Projects/Artscan Gallery, Sicardi Gallery, and the 4 galleries at 4411 Montrose Blvd. The state art competition was on Saturday and it turned out to be quite a success. Our students all received the highest rating of 4 on their pieces and were awarded medals. The state qualifying high school artwork in Texas is phenomenal. Highlights of the trip include: 1) June bug plague in Fairfield, Texas....there must have been thousands upon thousands of them at a gas station we stopped at. 2) Eating out all meals: Freebirds wins this category. 3) the art galleries. Lowlights: 1) down pours of rain, hail and flooding while driving in bumper to bumper traffic. 2) 6 A.M. wake up call 3) local radio stations. Great time overall! Above are some of the pics from the trip.

ReplyDeleteThom, Do you mean Chachos? It was on the other side of town from where we were and the whole city of Houston was flooded.....so we passed. My monster burrito was just dandy.
ReplyDeleteplague of junebugs?--my 96 lb. lab is named JuneBug and I'm sure she wouldn't be happy with that reference.....cacaphony or flock or gaggle, perhaps? (Interestingly, Bug was named for the line in the Lucinda Williams song--Junebug versus Hurricane--Too Cool to be Forgotten -- not after the bugs,per se.
