Prole; Work, Ninfa's, the Mink; Niko Niko's, Agora, Domy, Saucer; Star & Work
11/27
Another Monday night at the Prole...
12/1
I worked a little late, and then Cindy and I went to Ninfa's for dinner, where she was not quite impressed enough with their green sauce. Rebecca and Ali were coming into town to stay at my place, and they met up with us there. We dropped their stuff off at my place and then made for the Mink, where a group of their art cohorts were hanging out. I got to meet the guy who did my painting, and he was nice, but we didn't get into a deep conversation about the piece or anything.
12/2
We started our day the way God intended: late. Went to Niko Niko's, got some good food, and then we were in the mood for coffee so we went over to Agora, which the girls liked, and hung out a while before wandering over to Domy, a place so cool it made me wonder how I had gone this long without ever knowing about it.
It's a very artsy book and toy store, and featured lots of books on contemporary art, music, graphic novels, and weird Japanese toys. I heard two college-age girls say, "We don't have anything like this in Austin. We need this entire street in Austin." Trade you a music scene for an art scene, ladies?
Anyway, after that Cindy ran off to lab and the girls got ready to go to their artsy party fundraiser thingy that Ali had a piece in. After dropping them off at some random warehouse downtown or another, I went back, chilled, and then eventually Cindy and I met them downtown at the Saucer for some beers.
12/3
After an aborted attempt to try out an "authentic Italian" pizza place on Westheimer, which was apparently closed Sundays, we gave up and went to Star, which was, as always, good. Then I got Becca and Ali packed off and got to work on stuff for my committee meeting.
