Public Service? Nope. Pancakes!

So Domonic and I planned on doing our little bit to make the world a better place in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We were going to plant a garden at an East Austin elementary school. We got up really early on a Saturday morning to do so. But unfortunately the torrential rain doomed our intentions from the start. So what did we do instead? We went out for a big yummy breakfast at Star Seeds Cafe where Domonic got the biggest plate of pancakes I have ever seen in my life. Take a look; that's a stack of three pancakes, each bigger than Domonic's head. They were delicious!

The Catherdral of Junk

All we could say when we first saw the aptly named Cathedral of Junk was, "Wow!" It was mesmerizing, incomprehensible and oh so cool. Some may ask, "What's it made of?", but a better question would be, "What's it not made of?!"

Domonic and I climbed the three stories several times tried to take it all in. We identified some really neat stuff, a moss-covered Barbie lounging in a swampy fountain, the back end of a Yamaha motorcycle, several basketball hoops, a Darth Vader mask, lots of CD's, aluminum can tabs, hubcaps, a plastic pony, bicycle parts of every kind, a megaphone... While the whole may be greater than the sum of its parts, the parts are really really neat to look at. Bravo Vince!
