Cherrywood Art Fair

Austin has amazing artists. If you're from Austin, you'd probably say that's an obvious statement. But where can you find these amazing artists? At art fairs.

This past weekend, Maplewood Elementary in Austin hosted the Cherrywood Art Fair. It was an art event with over 80 exhibitors.

Below are a few of the artists I came across. (For a complete list of artists, go HERE.)

Tracks 83: Music Mix 1987 Part II

For me, 1987 was prime. A lot of great music videos were being played on MTV. You had the badass Billy Idol singing Mony Mony and the Beastie Boys showing nerds that the must Fight For the Right To Party! And at the same time, you had some mainstream pop hits like Crowded House's Something So Strong, ABC's When Smokey Sings, and Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam's Lost In Emotion.

But perhaps one my my favorite song and music video was Aretha Frankin & George Michael's I Knew You Were Waiting. It combined two powerful singers and entertainers to create a wonderful song.
