November is Native American Heritage Month.

The annual gathering has grown to become the largest single-day Powwow in the nation. About 200 folks were expected at the first event, nine years ago; about 2,000 showed up!

Ride the Wild Surfers
The local Surfrider Foundation Chapter is a nonprofit bunch of guys hanging out in baggies talking about Sex Wax ... no wait, it's a group of concerned and coast-loving folks dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's waves, oceans, and beaches for all people through conservation, activism, research, and education. And Austin has its own chapter. Not bad for a town with no beach! Wednesday, Nov. 1, 7:30pm, the group will show the surf movie September Sessions and a short environmental documentary Keepers of the Coast in the Texas Union Theater in the UT Student Union at 24th & Guadalupe. In their words: "Come get in on the stoke." www.surfrider.org/centraltexas or 415-6816.
