Strange Encounter

So I kind of gave myself a day out since the weather was nice, and for more legitimate reasons: I stayed in bed all week suffering from a flu-like illness that caused me to cough endlessly, have a fever up to 101.6, be nauseated and take bulks of ibuprofen to kill the intense headache. I was feeling much better today and I didn't see any reason NOT to go down to the Austin Town Lake, one of my favorite places, to celebrate this beautiful weather and bask myself in the sunlight.

My original intention was to scout puppies and creepily watch them from afar until my boyfriend and I walked out of his car to encounter...

this!!!!!!
I freaked out for a moment then decided to bother them with my camera...

why hello there...

We asked them what it was for, and they said they were preparing for First Thursday down at South Congress.
I...did NOT know what that was until today. Learning something new everyday. :p

oh, Austinites. I love them.

now that's pretty LEGIT.

Nice meeting you guys! :)
