The Moveable Festival

For everyone involved with the The Moveable Festival this past weekend, a huge and heartfelt THANKS! The camaraderie was palpable, the music joyous and the charity abundent. An extra big tip of the hat to Greg Bontempo and the staff at NeWorlDeli, my compadre in Houston Brian Kalinec and all the artists who unselfishly gave of their time and talents. And shine a light on our Travelers who played in both cities back to back. Be sure to send in your Bucee's receipts! We're still tabulating the fund website but it looks like we're going to be giving the Central Texas Food Bank about $3000 and a couple boxes of food! That's a lot of meals for our neighbors in need.
