were taken with it, since the AIA Austin Design Awards were staged, partly under the Browning's noble, open-to-the elements curve, partly in a nearby you guessed it tent. I ran into Mayor Will Wynn, who helped save the airport structures, while pushing central-city development during his tenure. All appropriate for someone who studied architecture in school. Fritz Stein, dean of the University of Texas School of Architecture, was glowing. After all, the Browning is now as much an object of landscape design, his specialty.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more enchanted location for an outdoor party than the grounds of Big Red Sun on East Cesar Chavez Street. The exotic plants and decor are already in place at this breakthrough landscaping center. One can move from leaf-bound niches and coves to an ample shared social space improved by raised areas for performances and announcements. The Gala Ganesh for Women Their Work blessed with a clear Saturday night was further enriched by the fabrics and accessories worn by the guests, many in the tradition of the subcontinent. The weather remained, of course, blissful Sunday.

Our neighborhood was swollen by tourists in town for the Austin Reggae Festival, Lonestar Hot Rod Kustom Car Roundup and BP MS 150. It's hard to imagine that only 10 years ago, the sight of out-of-towners parking on our Bouldin-area street would have aroused curiosity from our collective front porches.

Indoors, too, on Thursday was Bruce Wolfe's opening of our town's Ligne Roset furniture and decor boutique, a high notch on the mod meter inconceivable just a few months ago. Later that night, a stray downpour could have dampened Phi Delta Theta's huge fundraiser for the Busby Foundation, a local charity that provides support for families dealing with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). The crawfish boil was protected again by a canopy in the Stubb's yard, but Bob Schneider's subsequent concert would have been ruined had the clouds unsealed. Rising from the euphoric dusk on Saturday, the 1940s-era Browning Hangar at Mueller Austin, formerly the city's airport, soared like some modernist monument. It was meant for purely utilitarian purposes parking and fixing airplanes and now waits its next role.

Rondon's reliance on fast motion lends the drama a twist and a shake but often it veers on cute. Still, it's clear what she's after. It's history on a human scale, swept of oratory, purged of didacticism and, most importantly, told from the viewpoint of children.

The protagonists are the little girl, whom we see in flashback, and her cousin Teo, who lives with his "loco" grandmother while his revolutionary parents do their perilous business and pay the consequences.
