out in the west Texas town of El Paso...


 I had a great time at the Plaza Classic Film Festival in El Paso this last week...
  After a quick trip to Tony Lama's Boots I donned my skirt, my new boots and was ready to go...
 Watching The Sound of Music up on that big beautiful Plaza Theater movie screen was a thrill for many people.  (left) Chuck, (The creator of the film festival) his wife Ann and his lovely family.(right) In the Sound of Music spirit.

  There was strudel and brown paper packages tied up with string... and suckers with my Brigitta face on them.
 that was a little weird...
I was glad to be able to fit in a visit to the El Paso Museum of Art. I could have spent hours there.
One of my favorite exhibits was the 30 pieces in the "Moving Pictures" Production Art from the Academy Library.

 It was cool to see these sketches from "In Love And War", that was the first movie my sister Veronica ever made. 

The "King and I" dining room sketch

Loved this one of illustrator Boris Leven's iconic drawing of Reata House for "Giant".
Very cool El Paso art... 

Thanks El Paso for a great time...
