Austin Art scene

A local artist here in Austin sponsored a local art event.  She extended her art gallery to all of Austin.  Any one could submit a painting for display at her gallery.  The only requirements were that the painting needed to be submitted on a 12" x 12" canvas. All the submitted art would be displayed on Saturday night and sold for $100.  Half the price would go to the artist and the other half to gallery.

As you can see, it was packed inside.













Here's a quick shot of a few of the art pieces.

It was so packed inside that it was difficult to even move around inside...

Peking Duck (in China)

I (Eric) was in China between this past Thanksgiving and Christmas. About the only two chinese dishes I know by name are sweet-n-sour pork and Peking Duck (now called Beijing Duck). While in China, Beijing specifically, I had the fortune of going to the best "Duck restaurant" in all of China. Of course we had the Peking duck-

They even give you a cerificate that shows you had the official Peking duck from the official Peking duck restaurant in China.
