Leann and I started our day out backwards--dinner and a movie. Or rather dinner and a dinner movie. Or was it lunch and a matinee. Well, in keeping with the Keep Austin Weird theme, we did our day backwards and went to the Alamo Drafthouse for a movie and lunch. A uniquely Austin experience, the Alamo Drafthouse serves food on benches in front of your movie seats. We saw Julie & Julia, which was an excellent, funny, well done movie--we loved it, and I must take hubby to it. This theater offered a special dish with this movie--I had Julia's Beef Burgundy (though I don't have the correct French spelling here). It was the most delightful experience eating Julia Child's dinner dish along with the film.
So continuing on with typical Austin fare, we shopped Vintage clothing and fabric. We shopped at the Book People--the best independent bookstore (not counting the massive Powell's in Portland). And then we had an Austin afternoon treat--Amy's Ice Cream, where they mix up specials and toss them, literally, into bowls.
We caught Jessica at her new job at Delia's, a little shopping at Dillard's, a rest break, and then a walk back to Mexican food across the street (just too convenient). So now it's just a kickback evening--updating computers.
Today's best....Julie & Julia, complete with boeuf.
