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….”
“…I can jump higher than all my friends!”
Feel free to leave your earliest memory in the comments section bellow…

Circus Gold’s own, Matthew Rodriguez, with fellow Austin Artists, Michael Sieben and Tim Kerr have teamed up with the Pope of Southern California to create a special Art show, for you, the people, but in SF, so I guess you, the people, got to go there to see it.
Inevitably balleresque, this Artshow is worth your heart felt gaze and if, then maybe, your hard earned Cheddar. Check it out or just spend yet another afternoon eating ballpark nachos and yelling at little leaguers…
Postscript:
Previously known facts about Needles and Pens are sparse in my mind other that Monica Canilao painted there exquisite sign and that a drawer that may or may not have been from the blow laden desk of Sherlock Holmes which I purchased with artistic intentions and then gave to famed Canadian Artist, Other, who then painted a dreaming hobo on it and hung it in his show, at Needles and Pens.
