Once we arrived, walked around, and talked to Julianna (wedding planning binder in hand) we just loved the place. It was our first stop and nothing beat it! Settling on a date, and understanding the plethora of rentals included (tables and chairs for 150+ guests) just made the decision that much easier! Juliana was so warm and kind, and worked seamlessly with our coordinator (Mockingbird Lane Events-truly another amazing wedding must-have!) When we requested an additional half-hour for our catering staff, the transaction was quick and reasonable. Getting married during a global pandemic is sure to cause some headaches, but there was never any issues with communication with Juliana and ensuring we moved forward. My father even contacted her over a year ahead of time to help with research for hotels since majority of our guests were from out of town. She provided a list and professional suggestions about what was worth our time and energy. The Allan House was absolutely perfect for our quiet, classic yet laid back style of wedding. This backdrop made all of our guests look even more stunning, and the tree lit up at night was gorgeous. Highly suggest The Allan House. You can't go wrong with a beautiful and historic home for your weddings or party needs! Photos by: Two Pair Photography

This is my first time coming here. I have parked my car in the attached parking garage. I believe…read moreit's $12.00 to park. There was a police officer guiding the cars between 2 lanes. The line did move quickly. I came here today because they were having an import car show. I wasn't sure what to expect. I haven't been to a car show in a long time. The last really awesome show I went to was San Diego, and it was massive! This car show was much much smaller. But doesn't mean it was lacking. Most cars were Supra's, which are sexy, no question about it. Type R, couple BMW, Mustang, Volkswagen, even Lexus. Obvious these owners put a lot of love in their cars. The paint, the upgrades, the engines, the stereo system, and all the extra bells and whistles with interior lights, racing seats, and exhaust and rims. If you don't think cars have a personality, you wouldn't understand this car show. The line to get in was extremely long. But moved pretty quickly. I had my ticket on my phone in an email. But I also printed it out just incase. I checked in and got a wrist band. Once inside, you can roam around freely. They do have bathrooms inside and some food. I saw people walking around with popcorn and big warmed pretzels. Also you can buy drinks. And I think I saw liquor too. I wasn't sure where this center was, but if you're trying to picture where it is, it's across for Terry Blacks BBQ.

It has been a while since I visited Palmer Events Center on Barton Springs Road. Yesterday I had…read morean all day conference at the Palmer Events Center. It is surprising large, aesthetically pleasing space. One of the first things that strikes you is the size breath and depth of square footage. Extremely high ceilings makes the space look even larger. The projection monitors were large and easy to see, which made you felt like there was no bad viewing vantage point. In addition, our conference received flat rate parking of $12, which was excellent. In so garages, you can easily pay $25 upwards. Also, we used their concessions for breakfast and lunch. Having concessions near our meeting hall was super convenient. Surprisingly, concession items were reasonably priced and tasted very good.

You looking for the far out fringe of the Austin Experimental Performance scene?…read more You've Found It. You've Gone to the Edge of the World and Fallen Off. The Museum of Human Achievement is in the same industrial/artist/studio complex as the Saiten Coffee House. It literally is an empty factory space with some minimalist changes to make it a performance space. They built a large very high L-Shaped stage. They bought a few cheap church pews and theatre seats so you can sit down. There ain't no air conditioning. There ain't no toilets. Use the portapotties near the door. You want a beer? If you are lucky, a friend of the artist brought an ice chest with some cold ones for sale. But you won't always be lucky, so bring your own liquid refreshment with you. There is a sound system and lighting but don't expect fancy-schmantz. They can and do project pictures off the back wall. That's all they got. Mostly empty space, cobwebs around the rafters and a lot of heat. Who performs here? People who absolutely can't get a gig anywhere else. People who absolutely have brass balls. People willing to try things that no professional in their right mind would try. Experimentalism rules. Fringe rules. Lunacy rules. Does merit rule? Well, when the mad scientist is experimenting, a lot of her experiments blow up in her face. Other experiments produce fantastical monsters. A typical night at the Museum of Human Achievement careens from magnificent to putrid to magnificent to putrid. It never matches any expectation of what you think you are going to see. The going sometimes can be really really rough. But as William Holden says in the Wild Bunch, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
