Eat, Drink and Be Scary was a huge success

We ate, we drank and tried to be scary! We raised lots of money for Heroes for Children. Here are some of the images that were taken by Jim Herndon of On Location Portraiture. Click here to see the slideshow.

Bye Bye State of Fair of Texas - till next year

Hickory Street Annex is walking distance to the Fair. We are sad to see it go (except for the traffic). I don't understand how this was done, but I think it is a beautiful farewell to the State Fair of Texas. This video was made by Jim Herndon of On Location Portraiture with a regular camera and not a video camera. It is basically tons of still photos put together to look like a film. If you are a photo nerd you can read all about it on his blog. If you could somehow play it in slow motion perhaps you could see Oprah eating fried butter!

Eat, Drink and Be Scary

Hickory Street Annex is excited to be a part of this really cool event on 10.29.09 benefiting Heroes for Children. Take a look at some of the stories below of the children that this wonderful charity has helped to support. We hope to see all of you at this party to help support such a fabulous organization!

Kate & Brandon

I love getting photos from beautiful events, but sometimes the photographers are busy and I am not a paying customer! So I was thrilled to get photos from Kate & Brandon's wedding from last December taken by the talented Lindsey Shea of Lindsey Shea Photography. During the reception Kate surprised Brandon with a gospel choir!

Kate should really look at a career in modeling! The couple now lives in Chicago where she is an interior designer. Click here to see more photos of Kate & Brandon.

Sweet Kiss Photography

A few months ago I had the privilege of meeting Marcy Bartholow of Sweet Kiss Photo. Marcy is about as professional as a photographer can get, she has an Master of Fine Art in photography and has even worked as a photography professor.  Her beautiful work is exhibited in various galleries and museums.  

She is new to town and somehow stumbled across Hickory Street Annex and sent me an email.  She offered to come by the Annex and snap a few shots of the empty space.  I am ashamed to admit that was February and I am just now posting these great shots.  I don't get a lot of images of the space empty or during the daytime, so these are great to have.

Some of you that have seen the space lately will notice that our floors are no longer painted white, they have been polished and are now natural concrete.  

Wilson The Wedding Crasher

This photo of Wilson was taken by one of our newest tenants, Adam Fish of Fish Fotography.  He is a commercial photographer that is represented by another one of our tenants, Those 3 Reps.

In case you don't know, Wilson is Gary Kaelson's standard poodle.  Wilson thinks he is human!  Maybe because Gary spoils him.

Once, Wilson came upstairs unexpectedly just before a wedding ceremony and almost crashed the wedding.
