			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span id="more-2417"></span><br />
This weekend was fun, however I did not really do a whole lot. All of these pictures are from Saturday which has a big adventure with my friend Daniele.</p>
<p>I met her for lunch in Gruene, Texas so our first stop was the <a href="http://www.gristmillrestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Gristmill.</a></p>
<p><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5208/5365194213_2be7cb7e93_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="640" /></p>
<p>We then went to the <a href="https://www.gruenewinery.com/" target="_blank">Winery on the Gruene.</a> I am not a huge wine drinker, but these were pretty tasty.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5128/5357343969_fa6ec58612_z.jpg" alt=".@nerdyrockchick and I" width="612" height="612" /></p>
<p><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5049/5357338637_55b9527429_z.jpg" alt="Winery on the gruene" width="612" height="612" /></p>
<p>My favorite was the Blackberry Merlot. Really tasty. It was sweet but not so sweet that it gives me a headache.</p>
<p>We also hit up a few antique stores, and I saw Lucious Malfoys cane.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5281/5365809008_dafc74a3d2_z.jpg" alt="" width="478" height="640" /></p>
<p>Afterward we headed to historic Gruene Hall to listen to some live music. Because of the rain I avoided shooting with my camera and kept to my iPhone.</p>
<p>So here is a real photo of the band that played.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5126/5365863290_0eb3453440_z.jpg" alt="IMG_9803" width="640" height="427" /></p>
<p>And some video of the band.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="360" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="data" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" /><param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&amp;photo_secret=e28b013741&amp;photo_id=5365215359&amp;hd_default=false" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" allowfullscreen="true" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&amp;photo_secret=e28b013741&amp;photo_id=5365215359&amp;hd_default=false" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377"></embed></object></p>
<p>The name of the band was the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=chris+reust&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;aq=t&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;client=firefox-a#q=chris+ruest+band&amp;hl=en&amp;safe=off&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;hs=KH2&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;prmd=ivnso&amp;source=univ&amp;tbs=vid:1&amp;tbo=u&amp;ei=Qf00Tb3rH5LfgQfvvb21Cw&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=video_result_group&amp;ct=title&amp;resnum=2&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=0CC4QqwQwAQ&amp;fp=d9b87ce0450c28ba" target="_blank">Chris Reust Band.</a></p>
<p>Pretty good band, with a pretty good sound.</p>
<p>Sunday was spent Apartment hunting so nothing exciting there.</p>

<p>Forgot to post this photo last night, this is from the walk along the Museum Reach.</p>
<p>Under this water, there is a dam, or what is left of it.</p>
<p>The Spanish put in this dam, and the people of San Antonio forgot about it.</p>
<p>Until they found it while working on the reach.</p>
<p>The lights in the water mark where the dam was at, so they are not part of the neat Christmas display.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today was the Warrior Dash out in Lost Pines, Texas.<br />
This was a really fun, really muddy event.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/5193564732_391a042211_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="478" /></p>
<p>This tent was the first thing I noticed as I walked into the event. All of the other tents were pretty normal looking.</p>
<p>I think this is the tent where you could get your final time. I was not interested in my time at all.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/5192971203_b0715a4f14_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="478" /></p>
<p>The concert area. There were a lot of people at the race.  The band was ok, it was your typical bar band playing a bunch of cover songs.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4045/5192994017_602784ccc7_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="478" /></p>
<p>And the finisher metal. Excellent.</p>
<p>The race was a lot of fun, and a bit more challenging than the half marathon.</p>
<p>The obstacles made it a really fun challenge, and I have to recommend it.</p>

<p>Today was a little celebration at the office because one of the stations, <a class="zem_slink" title="KAJA (FM)" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=29.5238888889,-98.7238888889&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=29.5238888889,-98.7238888889%20%28KAJA%20%28FM%29%29&amp;t=h">KAJA</a> in fact one a <a class="zem_slink" title="Country Music Association Awards" rel="homepage" href="http://www.cmaawards.com">CMA award</a> for best country station.</p>

<p>So, starting at 12:30 we had <a class="zem_slink" title="Barbecue" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbecue">BBQ</a> and live music out back with free beer.</p>
<p>Inside we had video game stations setup and in the front we had games of Washers.</p>

<p>This doorway is leads into an old house that sits in the middle of a field outside of Acuff, <a class="zem_slink" title="Texas" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.0,-100.0&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=31.0,-100.0 (Texas)&amp;t=h">Texas</a>.</p>
<p>I am watching an episode of Dr. Who right now and the episode made me think of this day.</p>
<p>How could my life be like Dr. Who? No I do not ride around in a blue box and fight things/save the world or anything special, however in this episode a character breaks into an abandoned house to take photographs because she likes to photograph old things.</p>
<p>Sounds like she is on an epic photo adventure.</p>
