Some things really are bigger in Texas.

First time in Austin.

These dudes are everywhere in downtown Austin. Fun to watch them race each other up hills.

Longhorns played Baylor while I was there. Longhorn fans are hardcore, but very nice too.

Lyndon Baines Johnson library on UT campus. I highly recommend you check it out if you are there and have a few free hours.

Inside the LBJ museum. Real creepy statues. Check out those bow ties though. Someone should bring back the bow tie with a regular suit. Not me though.

Just me or does this whole setup come off as just a little homoerotic? I just think they might have arranged everything a little different.

Fourth floor of the LBJ museum. Lots to see.

This is on the way out of the LBJ museum. The eyes of all them ... I felt real judged standing in front of this painting.

Turtle Pond on the UT campus.

I agree. And by that logic I must be learning all the time.

In case you can't read the small type ... it says "made with real poo". Yes paper made from elephant poo.

The administration building tower on UT's campus.

Fountain on the edge of campus. Looking back at the tower.

Two weeks plus in Austin staying at a Holiday Express, working knee deep in actual poo. Had to stock up on the essentials right?

They are aren't they? Paper cuts, dropping a big one on your toe.

What an awesome campus.

Not sure how a rabbit who's clearly murdering carrots while his carrot buddies stand by and watch is going to make me want to stop eating delicious animals.

Capital building way way way in the background.

Back in Phoenix. Those tails remind of an ATT commercial.

Dramatic isn't it?

Back to Seattle.

The Windy City Indeed

Hello Chicago.

I counted six Starbucks on my long walk through O'Hare terminal. I don't know if Boise even has that many. Period.

Never been to Chicago before. Got a job and they sent me straight there for a week. This was the view from the hotel room.

And this was right in front of the hotel. Michigan Avenue bridge.

Gotta be an interesting place to work. I'd wear floaties to work.

My favorite from Chicago.

Has to be tough to paint though with all the mortar in between the bricks.

Really fancy 7-Elevens in there.

i-Pod advertisement. Saw more of these than I saw Starbucks ... weird.

One of my other favorites from Chicago.

Like this one too.

Go here. Get coffee.

The whole reason I went to Chicago. WEFTEC 2008. McCormick Place is huge. I couldn't stop looking up to the high ceiling when I walked through this hall.

Next year is in Orlando. Fingers crossed I end up there.

Waiting for the train. Wish I could ride them more.

Carbide and Carbon Building.

If you get the chance, get a greasy chessbuga at this place. Located under Michigan Avenue. You might need to ask how to find it. Cash only.

Hey look at that ... kind of feel like buying an i-Pod now.

Front window to the Apple Store. Who would have guessed. I kind of did.

Not sure what's going on with this mannequin...but good news there's a sale.

Michigan Avenue bridge at night.

And the Chicago River at night.

Cool purple light on top of the Wrigley Building.

Someone left an apple for this guy.

Thank GOD someone finally figured out a way for me to buy more crap I don't need without having to interrupt my text messaging schedule.

Spike Lee does not look too happy to be selling me a phone. Not happy at all.

Back at O'Hare. Good bye Chicago.
