All week I’ve been complaining about how my commute has been even worse thanks to SXSW but the one good thing about the festival is that at least I got to see the Flatstock 29 poster show. We went early on Saturday and enjoyed a delicious breakfast at Cafe Crepe. Crepes and cappuccino. Yum. And, then on to the show.
I saw some great gig posters and was looking for something for my studio walls. I have yet to really decorate my studio so when I saw this small poster, I knew it was the one.
Isn’t it great? It’s from Standard Deluxe. I haven’t found the right spot for it yet but will soon.
This weekend we also went back to Borders and I found a few more books which I’ll tell you about in another post because my studio/library is a bit of a mess right now and old books are mixing in with new books. So when I sort them I’ll share the goodies I’ve bought.
And, in reading news I did finish Tales From the Yoga Studio by Rain Mitchell. I’ve put my practice on hold for a couple of months while my shoulder continues to heal so I really miss my classes and it was nice to at least read about yoga even if the characters in the book seem to have a more athletic yoga practice. Lots of sweating and sleek bodies mentioned and I can tell you that I focus more on what yoga does for my mental well being than for my figure. Anyway review to come soon.
So a busy but fun weekend. How was yours? Hopefully filled with a lot of good times.
I was wondering if the festival was going to affect you at all. At leasat you got to see a good group and got cool poster.
Hey! I got an email saying that Among Others has shipped, so I should have it this week. Then, we will have to work out a time to read it… 🙂
Stefanie – I’m so glad it’s over! I know it brings a lot of money for the city and all but oh the traffic is just made worse. I wish I could go to some of the other events but have heard that even when you get tickets (which are very pricey) there’s still no guarantee that you’ll actually get in. Isn’t that insane?
Kailana – Yay! I just saw that Carl posted about the challenge. I’m looking forward to the book 🙂
The poster show sounds great. I collect posters, mostly from the concerts I have gone to at The Fillmore in San Francisco.
Yea! What a great weekend. I love posters. In fact, I have four of the Texas Book Festival posters. I can’t wait to hang them up. I’ve slowly but surely collected frames for them.
Hope you have a great week!
Kathleen – Really? That’s so cool! I have never been very big into posters but what I really like about this of course is that you got to meet the artist and that’s pretty neat. They had some demonstrations too on making posters and that is such a neat process.
jenn aka the picky girl – Good to hear from you! I am assuming you have been so busy with school. I love the Texas Book Festival posters. I missed out on getting one a couple of years ago that I really liked. I will have to pay attention to what they make this year!
I love that poster and could use a copy to put up im my house–or better yet at my desk at work! 🙂
What a nice addition to your studio/library wall that poster will be – a good reminder to all who enter 🙂
I hope you’re able to return to your yoga practice soon. You’ve got a good attitude about it (and the right approach, in my not-so-humble opinion!)
danielle – one for the desk at work would be perfect! I can just imagine the looks I’d get for that 🙂
Dawn – She Is Too Fond of Books – I know right, If you don’t have the right attitude no entry allowed 🙂 I’ve decided to stop being all angsty and sad about not being at yoga right now. I’ll put that time to going to my gym for walking and then celebrate when I’m allowed to go back!
