Austin pics

It has been nearly two months since I took a trip to Austin, Texas, for the HOW Design Conference, but I never really blogged about the trip!

While the majority of my visit was spent inside the convention center, I was able to see just a tiny bit of the city before heading back to Philly. Overall, it was a cool place (and by cool I mean "neat") yet it was extremely, stiflingly hot (and by hot I mean "unbearable") for a northern girl like me. 106 degrees in June is just a bit of overkill, Austin.

Alas, I had a great time — I ate a LOT of Tex Mex, shopped on South Congress, and managed to capture a few cool pictures thanks to my little Panasonic Lumix TZ5 (and some sprucing up with a few fun Photoshop actions). Here are a few of my faves, all taken on my last day while shopping along SoCo (as the cool kids say).

  6. The HOW conference was great, Ivana and alishaneva! I highly recommend going... I hope I get to go next year, it's in Denver and that would be absolutely beautiful in June! (And a little cooler than Austin :-)

    Becca, I have Totally Rad Actions... still getting a feel for them!
