Viva las Mariachis

We were serenaded wherever we went... 

 

Ode to Nancy...

I have been meaning to write an ode to Nancy Pelosi..... hmmmm... Nancy you are fancy....

Don't let reality ruin your day...

My new motto by the way. All day I pondered whether I could watch the State of the Onion address without spontaneously combusting... or in a mild case, an aneurism or two. Subconsciously I missed it. I wasn't thinking it would be on SO early.. haven't wanted to suffer through it since I moved to the Left coast. I guess I wouldn't have lived through it. Self-preservation at its best. My DRAFT JENNA BUSH sticker is going on the car tomorrow. To celebrate that I didn't die tonight at the hands of George Bush.

Call me a drama queen.

Encore

I took over 800 shots in SA, that includes the booth shots. I haven't taken any since I got back though. I haven't really been anywhere or seen anything exciting other than Elliott :-) The top one is just random icicles, then a dude outside the Alamo. He was posing for his friends so I gave him Ted. They were all PPA people. Then there's Lisa and I in the mirror downstairs at the Contessa. Lastly, random dude in a bar. We were walking by and I looked in and held up my camera to take a shot and he reciprocated. There were lots of photographers in the same area at once! 

Hotel Menger and River Walk

We wandered through Hotel Menger on our stuck day. It was quite historic. The chef was kinda creepy and we longed for ghosts to come and scare him. The River Walk is kinda cheesy but really cool at the same time. Unfortunately it was too bloody cold and a lot of places shut down so we didn't get to spend a whole lotta time there. We certainly didn't eat outside! 

Party time

Stuck in San Antonio we found a warm and dry bar to protect us from the storm. 

Special Ted

Since we got stuck, Ted got more photo ops...
With the Contessa, out to lunch, in a gift shop with some Texas Teds and almost eaten by a dino 

Random Antonio

Random visions. I am not a cropper. It is against my religion. I was brainwashed at photo school in a really good way. I did crop the third one though. Sometimes you have to throw away the rule book. Don't tell. The first one here is by our hotel, the second is out the window of our room, the third by the Alamo and the fourth by the river. 

Viva Mexican decor...

of course it wouldn't be half as cool with a regular lens 

Out and about in San Antonio

Roaming the streets as usual... 

Theodore came too..

Ted came along though he stays in the room until the last day on trade show trips usually. I have some cool ones of him. 

Remember the Alamo
