After a best-ever weekend of art car parades in Houston, Tom Jones, the man who was responsible for creating, nurturing and promoting the art car and its annual show here, was killed by a drunk driver while he stood next to his car talking to his friends. A sad day in Houston, folks. Rest in peace, Tom. You were a wonderful man. Your legend will continue. WC1

Here is a link to my buddy Xavier's photos from the Art Car Parade Saturday:

His funeral was fitting to a man of his stature. Rest in Peace, Mr. Jones.
