Let's see...In 45 minutes you managed to miss: eating breakfast at Cochineal, lunch at Food Shark or Pizza Foundation, a tour of Donald Judd's installments, Dan Flavin's work, "The Last Supper" exhibit (Andy Warhol), shuffleboard or pinball at Padre's, Ping-Pong at Planet Marfa, sleeping in a yurt or a yacht at El Cosmico, Ballroom Marfa, Prada Marfa, the Giant memorabilia and a beer at the historic Paisano Hotel, and the Marfa Lights just so you could get back to Austin to watch a movie. Wow.

@raderred I like how everyone is really butt hurt that I hated Marfa. The things I'm into just didn't align with what Marfa had to offer. I'm glad you like it, but none of that sounds like fun to me at all. I'd rather people watch and street shoot in a place that doesn't look like a post apocalyptic wasteland. Not everyone can like everything you like.

Marfa's in the little things. The red pop of an ocotillo cactus bloom. A giant Donald Judd concrete box in the middle of a field reflecting the shifts of light throughout the day, John Chamberlain's crunched up cars, Claes Oldenburg's horseshoe, the Marfa lights, and all the other super-cool stuff you missed taking the video from inside the car.

@djartranch Right. Because you were with us and know what we went to see.

The little things weren't enough to keep us there for the 12 hours it would've taken for us to see Marfa lights. I dont' know why everyone is so defense of Marfa and acting like I didn't "get it." Not everyone can like being in the desert.

Wait! Not thrilled??? HELLO!!!? the DOLLAR GENERAL!!!!! You were here for 45 minutes and did NOT visit the DG. Please, you could even find fine furnishings for your pretend home. and SODAS! And, wait, there is this GUY named Donald Judd, you might want to type into GOOGLE. but, Guess what...We're glad you're back in Austin too.. please stay there.

[losergoescrazy]

@nycmeghan18 Hahah - I'm glad to be back! =)

So...like, Marfa is in Texas?

Mmmm.

p.s.

HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR SHOTS LOOK SO GLOWY(terrible descriptor)?

[Svetty00]

I like how the footage you took while driving almost makes it look like everything in Marfa is slanted by 10 degrees.

My family is from Marfa (and Fort Davis) and on the surface if you don't take the time to slow down and unwind in the town, you won't "get" it. Try exploring more next time because even if Marfa isn't your thing, there's so much natural beauty in the area...next time go down to the Big Bend and take a raft trip through Santa Elena Canyon, or drive through the Davis Mountains. Take a swim at Balmorhea, hike up Mt. Livermore or Guadalupe Peak. Go to a Star Party at McDonald Observatory.

I wish I could of met you when u came to Fredericksburg cause that's where I live :)

[TheUnDecider]

I don't think so many would've been so "butt hurt" if you hadn't sounded so disgusted. Barfa, although not exactly vulgar, doesn't seem to be in line with your ability to find beauty in your surroundings. As an artist it comes across as extremely closed minded. makes you seem shallow. Idk you so I can't say that that's the case. I do understand the aspect of being underwhelmed but there is a characteristic beauty about that place, and not everyone can appreciate that.

[TheHellion247]

Yeah.. there is nothing in Marfa. It's empty, like your head. The content of your videos is so conceited it is awful. You seem to think you are the center of the universe. You are Barfa. NOT Marfa. In one of your other videos your weird, ugly ass boyfriend asks how you got so gorgeous. WHAT? You ain't nothin! You're not pretty! And that other video with the holiday pom poms?  Go hand out at Hobby Lobby why don't you! You are the reason people leave austin and move to Marfa!

[BooBoo69MEdiano]

Hey nobody asked you to go to Marfa so why don't you stop acting like your all perfect you don't shit rainbows do you?no you don't!you think your all fancy and better then people in Marfa just because you live in austin?your just a hater so why don't you stop talking shit about other peoples town

P.S

My shits get more views then your videos
