Esther's Follies (and mine)

Some good friends took us out to Esther's Follies last night - a fantastic vaudeville show on 6th Street. My throat is still sore from laughing so hard. They combine stand-up comedy, skits, magic and music to create a hilarious show, compounded by the fact that there is a window onto 6th at the back of the stage - many hapless (and not-so-hapless) passers-by inadvertently become part of the show! This is definitely going to become an Austin regular for me.

No idea who this portait depicts, but it reminded me of the scene in Alice with the Queen and the baby that turned into a pig.

LOML was given a block of soap with a moustache on it. He likes it entirely too much. ("I have you now, my pretty").

Esther Williams! Who kindly donated her name to the show. Perhaps involuntarily.

The stage - you can see the window that looks onto 6th.

No idea. But I liked it.

And this is what helped me to recover from all the excitement this morning.
