Texas Standard’s 10th birthday party at Scholz Garten in Austin
On March 2, we celebrated our birthday with a big bash at Scholz Garten in Austin.
David Brown read a proclamation from the City of Austin declaring the date “Texas Standard Day” and attendees heard from speakers like author Sarah Bird and musician and archivist Veronique Medrano.
The Typewriter Rodeo was on hand writing up free poems on the spot and Erika Wennerstrom of the Heartless Bastards serenaded the crowd to close out the festivities.
Thanks to all who attended! Photos by Renee Dominguez / Texas Standard
