Houston Art Car Parade

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Mother’s Day was my primary purpose for diverting to Houston for the weekend a few weeks ago, but I also had a chance to participate in the Houston Art Car Parade. While I really enjoyed riding on the Vroom Vroom Room (our favorite mobile piano bar), this Radio Flyer car was probably the most impressive from-scratch art car that I saw that day.

“Crude Awakenings”

Friday, September 7th, 2007

While the burning of "The Man" was impressive as always, the pyrotechnics used when they burned the "Crude Awakenings" art installation later that evening were by far the most impressive I've ever seen.  See these links for some video of the second burn of the evening:
