I’m going to be changing things up a bit this week with a Hometown Tourism post – photo essay style. Every year Austin throws a street art festival known as the Balcones Burner Bash in which various graffiti artists gather at the recycling plant to not only celebrate the artists, but to promote an environmental preservation theme.

A quick disclaimer about the following photos: I took them with my crappy point and shoot because I planned on getting knackered during SXSWi and didn’t want to run the risk of ruining my good camera.

Please note that while I know I have a film degree, I had to use crappy Windows Movie Maker at 5:ooam. Software is expensive! I apologize about the crappy cuts.
At first I found the idea frightening. You’re telling me that you are willing to place your life in the hands of a stranger? Couchsurfing was a completely foreign concept to me until a few months ago. My boss at work (which is an avid backpacker and traveler) was talking about his upcoming trip to South East Asia. He was planning on going with some Couchsurfers he knows and mainly stay in a combination of hostels and Couchsurfing homes. This peaked my interest and I found myself browsing the Couchsurfing site over the next few weeks – really trying to [...]
