There are loads of parade pictures online and these are just a few of the local Flickr-photogs that contributed to the Houston Art Car Parade 2008 photo pool.

My art car weekend was a success. A sweet baby that handled the heat and noise well (better than Rollerderby), running into co-workers of my wife’s, and of course, her love and indulgence.

The result was a collection of pretty-good pictures and some video that I have hopes of placing online for all to see and enjoy. I am still tagging and titling the photos with car names and numbers. It was my first outing with the camcorder, and our oldish Apple laptop has struggling with the video editing and rendering. So, unlike the ease of uploading photos, the video editing and preparation has been time consuming.

A great weekend and more proof why this city is a good one for me and mine.

Andrew Carson’s Wind Sculptures – Bayou City Arts Fest, originally uploaded by Mr. Kimberly.

Saturday
Bayou City Arts Fest – VIP parking rules! Wish I could fool people more of the time. The fest?… larger than expected, higher quality. Thought we would see more leather wallets with fringe. Highlight, Andrew Carson’s cool wind sculptures. Better and more beautiful than 90% of similar things out there.

Sunday
Aurora Picture Show – Fail! Sold out. (thanks Bill for the heads up) Arrived at 2pm in hopes of signing the list of people waiting for no-shows. 30 other people had the same idea. Left dejected. A search online show nary a peep about the Indiana Jones remake. That being the case, somebody blog about it already.

Need to be better informed, must spend all waking hours online instead of spending time with wife and child.

Castle, Grand Prix Mini Golf, originally uploaded by Mr. Kimberly.

I finally left the house and visited an abandoned and partially demolished mini-golf course. I had seen it many a time while driving the 610 north. Houston Flickr user ThisIsIt2 posted a set of pre-demolition pictures…

Castle Golf – Malibu Grand Prix

At first, I was bummed about the cloudy day. But the pictures look better for it. The complex was off a 1-way street, pain to get to. The place was huge, and the gate was open, so I drove in. A couple of guys were loading junk into a dumpster. I was tempted to ask about some picture taking inside the main building (see panorama) but I had to get home. I posted about the place a while ago, and it was nice to get there while these remains still survived.
