Today's Word:
"Best of Austin"

Today's Picture:


It is the time of the year when the Austin Chronicle tries to herd cats. Out of the hotchpotch of opinions that makes up greater Austin, the good people at the Chronicle try to ascertain a "Best of Austin" list. Asking for the "Best of Austin" is kinda like saying, "what is your favorite ice cream". It's ice cream... I love it all.

Nonetheless, they try. Good on 'em.
