New Year's Eve 2015 in Austin, at Monkey Town 6

Monkey Town 6 is a pop up restaurant in East Austin that is only in town for 3 months.  You sit inside a 27-foot cube, surrounded by indie videos, while dining on gourmet preparations from a local chef.  This was the James Dean mural on the warehouse wall.  And we're bundled up because there were only a few "mushroom" heaters and an overhead heater to warm up the giant warehouse on the 40-degree night.

Papa Tom, with our first course of warm grog.  

Entering the cube amidst scenes from Central Park

First course:  rabbit pate on garlic toast with a bit of rabbit food around the edges.

Smoked butternut and carrot soup: yummy!

A scene from Takeshi Murata's "OM Rider."  Murata is one of the most highly respected video artists working in America, according to the program.
