Parking in Austin is horrible. Parking in Austin when you’re late to a final is even worse.

The Other Stuff

June 30, 2009

FOUND by Tiffany Shropshire in Austin, Texas

Found in between the pages of a book I was leafing through at Goodwill. It was in a little envelope with Faulkner Flowers in San Marcos, TX, on it. I also found a brochure for a workshop on reaping your social security benefits circa 1991 in the same book. I’d love to know what the other stuff was, and how good it must have been if flowers were only second best.

It Is Highly Decorous

FOUND by Jeffrey in Austin, Texas

I found this on a table in a coffee shop. There were two unused napkins sitting on the table. When I moved them, I noticed this note written on the bottom napkin. I had to look up the definition of “decorous.”

I found this Post-it on the side walk at the University of Texas. No sign of a saw.

Better Than the Classifieds

June 1, 2008

FOUND by Heather in Austin, Texas

I found this flyer duct-taped to a light pole on 6th Street in the Entertainment District. I’m an advertising major and this caught my eye because I thought it was an awesome guerrilla marketing technique used by some advertiser to get people to call in about their product; but, when I called, the guy told me he really had left his backpack in this “Joe guy’s truck” and needed it back because it contained his digital camera. He was genuinely disappointed when I told him that I didn’t have his backpack.

Important Words to Remember

FOUND by Laura Coco in Austin, Texas

I work at a school for English for students all over the world, and I found this list of vocabulary words in the parking lot. I’m embarassed to admit that I don’t know some of the words on the list, and I have been speaking English for 21 years.
