This isn't your typical Tex-Mex!

Recently there has been a very talented violinist, Gypsie, on campus playing sweet sounds while the rest of UT walks by with head sets and IPODS on full blast (I would normally be included in the mass of IPOD on blasters--but I cannot locate mine at the moment. Life can be oh so cruel when you can't walk to class listening to Luda). Fortunately, this guy is pretty decent and generally plays by the fountain in West Mall. He is perfect for a late afternoon sitting outside of the Union's Starbucks.

Yesterday, however, he was at the corner of Guad and 24th and on my way home from Spanish I decided to introduce myself and say hello. Unfortunately, I do not speak Spanish very well and neither does my SPN506 professer--thus, I could not speak the boogla boogla language he was speaking and just grabbed the flyer he handed me and said my Hola and Adios.

The flyer that Gypsie ended up handing me though seems pretty legit! It's an event called !ON YOUR FEET! and is April 17th (tomorrow) at the Monarch Event Center (across from Highland Mall). Tickets are 15$ in advance and 20$ at the door. The event will include cultural performances ranging from Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. It's basically a Dancing with the Stars-- en fuego...minus posers like the shiny tool, Mario Lopez.

All profits will benefit Posada Esperanza & Casa Marianelle, a non profit organization dedicated to providing transitional housing and other services to homeless immigrants, homeless single mothers with childern and international refugees.
