Events, Contests, & New Chrontouragers
By Logan Youree, 8:19PM, Tue. Apr. 8, 2008
Things we have done recently:
-Swamp Thing Crawfish Fest (George Clinton got the funk)
-The Grind Extreme Sports & Music Fest (upstream to the extreme, photos here)
-Colin Meloy at La Zona Rosa (sea shanty swooning)
-Austin Poetry Slamoff 2008! at the Long Center (snap snap snap snap)
-Ray Romano and Brad Garrett at The Austin Music Hall (everybody can't be wrong)
Personally, I had a blast seeing Colin Meloy perform his sailor ballads. It was a refreshing site watching his playful interactions with the crowd despite the occasional mistake or forgotten lyric... quite charming. Go check him out next time he comes into town.
The Chrontourage is growing steadily. I would like to welcome our newest Chrontouragers Emily, Danielle, Malorie and our newest photographer Eric. If you see them out at the next event be sure to say hi.
As always you can keep track of where we will be on our Chrontourage Events page (www.austinchronicle.com/chrontourage) and I will keep you updated here on the blog of my impressions of each event along with specifics on where you can find the Chrontourage team.
Don't forget to check our contest page (www.austinchronicle.com/contests) regularly as I am constantly putting up new contests to win all sorts of stuff. Right now my personal favorites include Rush tickets, ArtErotica passes, and tickets to the Texas Wine and Food Festival Sunday Fair. Go check them out and see what tickles your fancy!
That is it for now, see you on the town!
