I woke up yesterday morning and drove down to S. Congress to do a little shopping at Lucy in Disguise. I lucked out and found an awesome parking spot directly across from the store.
I shopped for an hour or so and when I walked out of the store, I walked into the beginning of the Art Car Parade. Luckily the parade was a slow mover so I was able to dash between entries to the other side of the street. I popped open the back of the truck and sat to watch the whole parade.
Austin is such a weird, but fun, city.
