(Community Matters) Austin is “like a blueberry in the middle of tomato soup” – Gov Rick Perry 9/21/12 Texas Tribune Festival

Blueberries for the state fruit!

(Community Matters) Thousands of Libyans marching through the streets of Benghazi, Libya disarming militias (in part) for the retaliation of the killing of a popular American diplomat. story

(Community Matters) This wasn’t a good weekend to be away – tonight’s Ballet Austin Fete, Andy Roddick Gala, Miracle Foundation event – plus this weekend’s Pride Festival (Tana’s the grand marshal at tomorrow’s parade & Michael Mitchell is riding in the car with her) and Texas Tribune Fest. We’ll even miss the 52nd celebration of Michael Mitchell on Sunday since we’re back late and barely in time to wash & repack for Steven’s early Monday departure for LA. But, business is business; Steven’s been in London all week for a client and asked me to join him at the end.
