The next event of the third season of the Architecture at the Umlauf Series season takes this place Thursday, September 3rd at 7:30 pm.
The monthly series was founded and is produced by two of my associates at AvenueOne properties; Scott Harvey and Carla Umlauf (granddaughter of the esteemed sculptor) and is sponsored by our firm, AvenueOne Properties and hosted by The Umlauf Torchbearers. The lectures take place at the beautiful Umlauf Sculpture Garden and the series is now in the second half of its hugely successful third season. Rick Black is the featured speaker. Catering will be provided by The Steeping Room. There is a minimal charge of $5.00 for the event but is free to museum members. Come out and enjoy an excellent talk in this beautiful venue. You might want to show up early because this event has been at capacity at all of the previous lectures!
Thanks again for your continued support I look forward to seeing you there!

Oh Russell this kind of event is right up my alley! If you happen to take photos please, please, please come back and post them!
Hello Russell-I am with Cynthia, if you attend and take pics I hope you will come back and post them. It is most definitely something I would enjoy attending if I was in TX. Enjoy it if you attend. Have a great week. <SMILE> P.S. Your First Day of School Post was awesome. I can tell you are a wonderful Dad. Thank you for sharing such a touching and heartfelt post. Well done. <SMILE>
Russell, Woo Hoo, good to see you blogging again! Nice to see you supporting this very cool event; it should be fun and informative!
I saw this on Twitter and I have to say I've never attended. Plan to change that this week and bring some friends along!
Hey Russell - I am available on Thursday or Friday for lunch if you still want to get together. My clients aren't coming this week.
Russel, look forward to some of the photos..
Russell, a series on architecture. How intellectually stimulating. If you go do a followup post.

Cynthia This is a very popular event and I plan to post a follow up about the Sculpture Garden. It's an amazing place!
Hi Sharon I will attend and plan to take pictures and post. Thanks again for your comment about by back to school post. It's probably not that relevant at AR but I really enjoyed writing about the experience!
Allysoun Yeah, I am actually glad to have some time to post and also catch up on a lot of blogs that I have missed over the summer!

Gary You are right and it has been an excellent way to expose different styles and ideas about architecture to the public. I am really proud of this event and thank Scott and Carla for putting it together!
Can't make it Russell. I'll be turning 50 that day.
You know, that is a great suggestion. Take pictures during the event and also of the grounds and post about the Umlauf Sculpture Garden. It would make a cool Localism post!
Russell, well this sounds like a great excuse for a trip to Austin!
Thank you for supporting this event in your blog, it's been fun and a good way for us to connect with the community!
Hi Russell this sounds wonderful and I am so looking for the follow up with photos. What a wonderful encouragement for all involved to support and blog the event. Be back to check it out ...have fun BTW your office sounds like a cool place to work!!
Russell, I remember you writing about this before. It again looks like FUN!!
Hi Russell,
Thanks for getting the word out. Sounds like a wonderful event. Would love to hear some follow up on this!
OK. This is a bit off topic (so what else is new?) but I got stuck on the word "Umlauf". Is that someone's name? It sounds distinctly German (which I am... ) so my curiosity got me stuck there. =)
Hi Russell-This sure sounds like it would be a enjoyable and relaxing event. Are you planning to attend. Hope you had a great day. :-)
Susan NO WAY!!! You are not 50...But do enjoy your Birthday, we celebrate all week long at the Lewis house!
Mattie I am going to do that and it would be a good way to showcase the Sculpture Garden!
Patricia Thanks, it's one of many reasons to visit and if you ever do, give us a call!
Scott You are welcome, you and Carla have done a magnificent job with this event!
June Hello my friend! Yes, after the comments, I am going to write another post and give more details about the venue. And yes, I am fortunate to work at a place that encourages creativity, energy AND production!
Marchel Thanks, it's a monthly event that takes a break over the summer and has been an excellent way to engage the public about Architects and architecture!
Dorie We have had wonderful attendance and feedback at this event and I will post more in the future!
Hi Lisa You are correct, it is German and is named for the local sculptor, Charles Umlauf.
Here is a link to the site for more info http://www.umlaufsculpture.org/
Pat So good to see you! I will be there and post about the event and the venue soon! Thanks for stopping by!
Hey, if I was in your neck of the woods I would probably be going to this! Looks interesting!
We have attended this event twice and it's always been fun and informative!
I can't believe it is already time for this event again! Time really flies! It is good to see you posting again!
;)
Russell, I love architectural classes and tours. They are so uplifting and inspirational. It looks like you and your partners are at the center of it in your area. Congratulations!
Russell You have posted about this museum before - I suspect it is a favorite of yours Karen
Hi Russell, popping back. I had a great time and no fear... I will be celebrating this one all month!
Yay! I'm German. LOL. My maiden name is Schultz. O_O Yeah. Can you imagine the jokes I got in school? *sobs at memory* HAHA! j/k
Russell, this sounds like a really interesting lecture...wish I were closer to be able to attend! Maybe you should post a video!!!
Hey there, I was checking back in to see that you are FINALLY posting again. Thanks for posting about this cool event! Nice to see you back blogging!
Renee Yes, this is an event you would really enjoy!
Tomas & Mary I agree and it's an excellent way to put architects and the public together to learn more!
Betina Yeah, it finally got a tiny bit cooler so it's on again and thanks for stopping by!
Diane I am very fortunate to work with a diverse and well connected group that actively promotes this and other great events throughout Austin! Thanks!
Karen This is one of my favorite places in Austin but the Architecture event, held there and sponsored by our company is something I really enjoy promoting!
Susan Thanks for stopping by and I hope you had a fantastic birthday!!!
Lisa Central Texas is home to many people of German descent as the area was settled waaaaaaaay back by German settlers! As far as you and school, I have a feeling you always managed to hold your own in any situation!
Caren Funny you should mention that but I received a smal digital movie camera for my birthday earlier this summer and plan to start using it soon!
Lindsay So nice to see you here and yes I am going to start posting on a regular basis again! Thanks for stopping by!
Okey Dokey, I was popping back to see if you posted any photos Russell!
Cynthia Hi there and thanks for stopping back by! I did not take pictures at this one but plan to at the next one in October!!
Cool Russell, I'll be looking for it. I know some functions & galleries do not let you take photos, and I can completely understand that rule.
Cynthia, thanks again! Actually we do have permission to take pictures and your comments have inspired me to do a post about this very cool Austin location!
