Earn Your Stripes

Yeah Austin we've kind of noticed.

You've got a thing for stripes.

even when you were young in the business

 heck even when you were just plain young

vertical or horizontal

dressed up

on a date

And of course, you can't forget the accessories

Yeah it looks like you've earned your stripes.

Happy Austin Friday!

Between the Lines

You can't take the stripes out of the boy.

And don't couple remind you of this?

 Good thing he doesn't do polka dots.

That's for kids.

April Showers bring .....

Not only May flowers but a lot more Austin.

Some big things this month for Austin.

There's Informers (premiere April 11th and opening April 24th)







there's a birthday - does 29 mean the same thing to guys?
And how do you celebrate this one?

there's Lincoln (check out a little more about Pedestrian and Lincoln)







and if Hil's hints on Southern Gothic are what they seem maybe he will be her co-star in their little love story short that has a fake moustache, a gator, name tags, sparklers, a rat, tuba, a jack knife, a sword, a cherry pie, a note, lipstick and a dollhouse. So if she's playing the BF then.....

Will the gator and the rat get name tags too? And why do I keep hearing Poison in my head? And seeing Twin Peaks? Agent Cooper, cherry pie , Log Lady, Lincoln ... Lincoln logs

and of course book club
by now he's got finished The Fountainhead and onto the next, maybe he's reading their next pick The Pillowman a 2003 play by Irish playwright Martin McDonagh. How about Walker Percy's The Moviegoer - a little Southern existentialism, if he hasn't read it already.

There have been great pictures of Austin lately and thanks to Spooky and Vesperlynd over at Austin Nichols Journal who keep finding new ones.

The shirt reminds you of anything?



Maybe some dejavu?


???? Fingers crossed for May?

And for the mini OMG get together in DC a picture from the backside of the U.S. Capitol in spring from the Special K cam.
