Weekend Preview (05/01/2009 – 05/03/2009)

Coming up this weekend:

  1. Shiner GASP – Saturday May 2nd, is the Shiner GASP (Great Austin to Shiner Pedal). A 100 mile bicycle ride starting in Austin, TX and culminating in Shiner; home to the Spoetzl Brewery. The Spoetzls are the brewers of the Shiner family of  beers, pretty popular in these parts of town. This should be a friendly ride which rewards you as you get to Shiner with an all you can eat and drink party. Yup you heard right, all you can drink beer right out of the keg and all you can eat Texas BBQ. If it wasn’t for those pesky 100 miles in between Austin and Shiner this would be the best $50 investment you can make in this economy. Needless to say, I let my friend and girlfriend convince me that participating was a good idea; according to them, there will be busses picking stragglers along the road and giving them and their bikes a ride to the finish line. I’m counting in the later quite a bit…. because I don’t think I’m good for more than 20 to 30 miles. Either way, it will make for a good story so keep an eye out for blog post on this even and some photos.
  2. SHPE Volleyball Game – The annual SHPE Volleyball game between the Austin Professional chapter and the UT Student chapter will take place on Sunday, if weather permits. Although I should not play, it should be a fun activity to go watch and take some pictures.
  3. Multimedia Computer Setup – So I received my copy of Lightroom 2 on Tuesday and inherited a fairly powerful computer from V. So I will be installing Lightroom and migrating my whole photo library from a currently chaotic  (almost non existence) system to a nice, organize and friendly environment… Let’s see how that works out. Don’t get me started with my music library, which will also be migrated.
