Back in Marfa

Posted by Monica Danna on May 15, 2010 in travel

I’m back in Marfa this weekend. Having a relaxing, splendid time with some great folks.

Less pics this time, more enjoying things with my own eyes. Here are a few of the trip thus far.

New stuff this time includes Austin Street Cafe and Pizza Foundation. John’s cooking dinner at Q Wine Bar tonight and we’re attending a Star Watching Party at El Cosmico.

More later. More Marfa.

Here are some proper pics taken with proper photography equipment. Click to view larger images. (can you tell I can’t get this place out of my head?)

Laura and I were celebrating the 1 year anniversary of both of our blind leaps into the world of entrepreneurship. Last April 15th, both Laura and I quit our corporate jobs, and headed into a world of the unknown. And neither of us has looked back since. Read more…

If you’re just joining us for the nyc recaps, catch up with nyc: {day.01} here.

Triple Threat

One thing I always like to do before a long trip to a big city, is subscribe to a few local arts and events newsletters a few weeks out.
