The Mala Luna Music Festival was held on the grounds of the old Lone Star Brewery in San Antonio. There was food, drinks, music, art, plenty of sunshine, and the cool backdrop of the old brewery itself with its iconic tower.

River Parade
After the Halloweenfest costume contest was decided, the crowd stuck around to see the decorated floats cruise by on the river.
Halloweenfest
Here are some of the entries in this evening’s costume contest at the Arneson River Theater on the San Antonio Riverwalk. The little lion tamer and her lion (dog) won first place and took home a check for $500. Congratulations to her and all of the other contestants!
Cabaret
If you ever have the opportunity to see a show at the Majestic Theater in Downtown San Antonio, please go. Such a great venue.
“There was a cabaret and there was a master of ceremonies and there was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany. It was the end of the world…and I was dancing with Sally Bowles and we were both fast asleep”
Austin Samba
Austin Samba flat out rocks! The Brazilian percussion and dance team is so full of energy. If you can find them at an event, then please check them out. You will not be disappointed.
Anuradha Naimpally
Did you know that you need Classical Indian Dance in your life? It turns out that you do. Anuradha Naimpally is mesmerizing on stage. Thanks to the Our World Family Music Festival for bringing her to the event!
Oaxaca, arte en movimiento
There was a World Music Festival at Zilker Park today, and this was one of my favorite dance teams. Oaxaca, arte en movimiento, was an impressive team. Not to mention the pineapple dance! Yay!
Romeo & Juliet
This performance of Romeo & Juliet is happening at Ramsey Park in Austin and is staged by Something for Nothing Theater Company. It is Shakespeare at the most raw – a few props, a few lights, and a bare stage in the park. The play was great, the crew was awesome, and I recommend that you check it out if you find yourself in Austin. Bring a blanket, a picnic, and set up camp as close to the stage as possible for a view of the action.

Wild Texas Short Films
Last night, I arrived at Stanley’s Farmhouse in Austin at sunset. My mission was to enjoy a few short films being screened by Ben Masters. The sun lit up the clouds in bright orange just over the trees of the farm. I found the pavilion and pizza restaurant where the screening was taking place, and took a few photos before enjoying the films. The most publicized film was called Pronghorn Revival, and was about relocating Pronghorns to ranches near Marfa Texas. My favorite film of the night was called A Backcountry Recovery, and was a story about how horses and a 1,000 mile long horse trip brought meaning into the life of Ray Knell, a Green Beret and Afghanistan war veteran. His goal was to use animals, nature, and physical activity to inspire other veterans to find help with the affects of PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. These films made for a great evening at a small piece of a working Texas ranch.
“Life is very, very short. It’s up to you to fill the book of life with beautiful and interesting chapters.” – Veteran Ray Knell
NLand Surf Park
Just when you thought Austin couldn’t get any cooler, along comes NLand Surf Park. The technology involved is amazing to watch. A company called Wavegarden has developed an underwater “snow shovel” that is pulled along the length of a 14-acre lagoon. Near perfect waves pop up on either side of the pier allowing up to 120 surfers to enjoy the surf at their particular skill level. The surf park has a sandy beach, a gift shop, a juice bar, a restaurant, and a nice deck to view the action. It is located about 10 minutes from the airport and collects rainwater to fill the lagoon. Now I just need to learn how to surf.
