Sorry, we're open!

We used to live in Austin, Texas, and welcomed the Austin Maker Faire this past October as an excuse to go back and visit. We had a great time at the fair, where our high tech pumpkins (especially the snapping pumpkins) garnered several editor's choice ribbons.
It was really fun to be back in Austin and remember what we loved so much. One of the things we really miss is the food. I took the picture above of the beautiful neon sign at Magnolia, one of the best of restaurants. Not only do they serve really good food, but they're open 24/8. The distinct lack of independent 24 hour restaurants in silicon valley is somewhat depressing, but we're glad to see that the culture is still thriving in Austin, where Magnolia has opened a second branch. Of course, we inevitably also were reminded of what we don't love so much. You know how they say that everything is bigger in Texas? Well, it's true about the bugs.
