you're never too experienced to make a rookie move

You see that beer? Yup, that's a $150 pint.
On Monday, with two successful Austin photo shoots, the sight of a zillion pregnant Mexican bats and many tacos under our belts, we headed south to San Antonio to catch our plane home. We had, like, some extra time. So we thought we'd squeeze in one more round of enchiladas & cervezas for the road.
We cut it too close. We showed up just 20 minutes before the plane was leaving, and our seats were gone. Surcharged but fortified, we left later.
fiesta flags, San Antonio
San Antonio fiesta flags on the way out. Oh that Hipstamatic. I can stop any time. I just don't want to.
Next post: knitting and real camera photos.
Maybe.

  6. OOPS. glad you made it home eventually.

    Must admit that your post gave made me doubletake at first. I read the sentance as "... zillion pregnant Mexican bats with many tacos under their belts..."

    Say WHAT? I must go get some caffeine.

  7. Mine is an iPhone app. Or was that meant to be sardonic ?
    It'd be waaaaay too much work to shoot old funky film or poaroids, process, transfer, scan & upload. :-)

  16. By the look on his face, I would say that beer was worth every dollar.

    Have you tried Swankolab yet? It's also made by the Hipstamatic folks.
