Richard Garriott is a well-known video game designer, entrepreneur, and astronaut. In 2008, he made history by becoming the first second-generation American in space, following his father, NASA astronaut Owen Garriott.

Richard achieved great success through his founding of multiple entertainment software companies, earning him honors such as Inc. magazine’s Entrepreneur of the Year and Computer Gaming World’s 15 Most Influential Industry Players. From this success, he was able to attain his lifelong dream and travel to the International Space Station aboard the Russian Soyuz TMA-13 spacecraft, making him only the 6th private citizen ever to do so. His journey was captured in a 2010 documentary, Man on a Mission: Richard Garriott’s Road to the Stars.

CreativeMornings/Austinâs June talk kicked off with this short film about Keep Austin Fed. This group of volunteers takes food that would otherwise go to waste and puts it directly into the hands and mouths of our neighbors⊠including our leftovers.
They took what we didnât eat to the good folks at Casa Marianella, so their residents got to enjoy some tasty treats from Eden East as well.
If youâre interested in volunteering or creating some great collateral pieces for Keep Austin Fed, email us and weâll put you in touch.
Film by University of Texas students in the Creative Activist Network. Thanks for sharing it with us Emily, Daniel, Ivy, Maggie and Naomi.
This monthâs CreativeMornings theme is food and our speaker this month is Sonya CotĂ©Â on Friday, June 28, 2013. Check here for details on tickets.
