Adam's Texas adventure continued with a trip to the Bayou City Art Festival. We met up with Sarah after she finished her shift at the CultureMap booth then browsed the art together. I was pretty impressed with the turnout for the downtown Houston event, which was just like the Utah Arts Festival I visited in June with Chelsey and Joel.
After browsing the paintings, photographs, sculptures, and wacky performance art, I felt completely uncreative. Still, it was a gorgeous day and all that walking around worked up an appetite. To satiate our hunger, Adam and I went to Cyclone Anaya's in Midtown for taquitos and tequila- I mean a mango margarita.
As the sun started to set on the eve of the third day, we paid a visit to our alma mater. Rice certainly has grown up in the last few years: new basketball court ('field house'), fancy schmancy new gym, TWO new residential colleges, a new glass pavilion, new sculptures sprinkled throughout campus, and more! Adam was very relieved to see that Lovett was quite the same as when he left it over three years ago. To which I reply: Lovett?! Lovett?! Lovett sucks! Hanszen, Hanszen- YEAH! Hanszen, Hanszen- YEAH!
After visiting Rice haunts we visited Rice friends. We stopped by Brandi and Peter's lovely condo and played some rousing rounds of Bananagrams. I highly recommend this fun, fast-paced, Scrabble-like game. Amy and Aaron got wind of all the fun we were having and sped over to join in on the games.
Marty was also around- playing it cool on the couch and getting all sorts of belly rubs. Just when I thought the perfect evening couldn't get any better- we added ice cream! With nights as complete as these, why would anyone ever go back to California? :)

I am going to buy bananahammockgrams and PRACTICE and beat you all next time. Last time was an embarrassing display but I must say I had a fever of 102 when I got home so that is my excuse.
I think 75% of your posts include ice cream. Not a criticism, just an observation.... I'll have to check out this game of banana-whatever. Sounds aPEELing.
