This past year, the Austin Museum of Art (AMoA), decided to interact and invite people to put Post-Its on a wall inside its Downtown location, calling it Austin Responds. In March, they invited Circus Gold’s own, Matthew Rodriguez, aka Briar Bonifacio, to paint on this Wall, in an effort to entice patrons to part with their earliest memories, here are a few of those memories:
“…Orange Carpet and Catfish.”
“Getting attacked by a rooster.”
“…when my cousin Dreyton’s taught me to throw dice behind the Tejas Liquor store off Oltorf and Willow Creek….”

Feel free to leave your earliest memory in the comments section bellow…
Love Always,
Circus Gold
