Gopher SXSW Sherlock

Today I:

Renewed my license. I wore my Gopher Illustrated shirt which you can kind of see here.
I also made a sort of funny but not really too notable face. All that this means is

I HAVE THE BEST DRIVERS LICENSE PHOTO EVER and I get to have it for the next six years.

I'll maybe post a picture or something when I get the actual license. All you gotta know is that there's definitely a gopher head in the corner of my license photo.


Worked on the mural just a tiiiiny bit. Mostly I looked on, doodled in the art journal, and talked to Emma and Audrey.
Oh, here's the story of the day! This energetic guy in a red and blue plaid shirt and red sunglasses was carrying what looked like a drum stool through the parking lot where the mural was. He was really pumped to be at South By. Apparently he won some contest to get his band down here. Anyway, he started quoting Shakespeare at us (and that's when you know he's cool). He gave us cards advertising his band's shows and I scribbled down the first few words of what he quoted so I could look it up later... I'll do that now.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day. --- From Henry V

I don't remember if he said all those things but in the end he added "In Austin!" and he just seemed really excited. So yeah.
There are all sorts of characters around. The most interesting looking ones today were this girl who had a sparkly skirt and blue sparkly lipstick and red hair, and a dude wearing blue sparkly leggings with... I think black shorts. It just kinda throws you when a guy wears leggings! I guess there's nothing wrong with it, though.
Later, I walked with my dad around SXSW. When my dad got my mom later, we all walked through the loud, cacophonous music and food up and down 6th street and then...

WE WENT TO SHERLOCK'S FOR MY BIRTHDAY DINNER YAY
I had fish and chips. The restaurant itself wasn't very sherlocky, which was sad, but I just HAD to go there. You know how it is!
