Art Cars On Parade
Filed under: Misc., Art

C'art.They say you are what you drive. So I guess if you’re car is an El Dorado decorated to look like a giant goat then… well, you might have trouble picking up dates. Not this weekend though, because the third annual Art Car Parade is (literally) rolling in to town. So if you’ve been seeing some pretty abnormal automobiles this is the likely explaination (although it could be one of those rogue art cars). If you haven’t guessed, the Art Car Parade involves a procession of painstakenly decorated cars down Congress Ave., starting at the capitol and eventually ending in the Congress Ave. Baptist Church parking lot on South Congress, where a so-called “car-nival” takes place. The parade takes place this Saturday, April 16 at 11:30am, with that kooky “car-nival” going from 1:30-4:30pm. We can honestly say that the art on display is quite “moving”. (Sorry.)

The City of Austin Elections are coming up pretty soon (early voting starts April 20), and some fairly important issues are being decided.

Sure some of the commentary is a little biased, but we’re much too lazy to give you both sides of an issue (besides, if you don’t agree with us then you know what not to vote for, don’t you). So here’s our fucked up guide to the city elections.
