Milestones Dept.: Congratulations to Hyde Park Theatre
Artistic Director Ken Webster and his colleagues, whose work with
FronteraFest, the "five-week-long performance fandango" that's
centered right here in our hood, was prominently featured in a
recent American-Statesman article. And we quote: "FronteraF-
est is the largest and most respected fringe theatre festival in the
Southwest..." Interested? Can't blame you. Tickets: 479-PLAY.
Schedule:
www.hydeparktheatre.org.
Austin State Hospital Dept.: Space permitting, elsewhere in
this issue is a press release from/about our friends and neighbors at
ASH. But the short version is that on Feb. 24th,the "ASH Insights
Art Show and Sale" will be going on downtown, featuring works
by patients at ASH. Interested? Can't blame you. More info at
419-2333.
Lost (and found!) Bike Dept.: We've been advised by
neighbors Maury Sullivan and Todd Pruner (458-3897) that they have
recently found a children's bike that ain't theirs made by Arctic
Trail, metallic gray in color. If that sounds familiar to you and/or
one of your progeny who rides an (ex?) bike, but may not frequent
these pages, you can email
production@cisco.com to identify and claim the bike.
Scams Dept.: An elderly resident has asked us to advise
neighbors to be wary of any unsolicited calls coming from a prison. The
resident reports receiving two phone calls, one of which was
collect. She refused to speak to the caller and hung up. The woman
fears that someone in an institution may have access to publicly-
listed phone numbers like hers, and urges residents to pay close
|
attention to calls from strangers.
While she could not recall the
name of the institution, our neigh-
bor is certain the call came from
a prison because a message at the
beginning identifies it as such.
Sierra Club Dept.: If their most
recent newsletter is any indication,
our friends at the Austin Regional
Group of the Lone Star Chapter of
the Sierra Club are up to all kinds
of interesting and noteworthy go-
ings-on -- including, for example,
a cross-country ski trip at Lake Ta-
hoe, morning conditioning hikes,
kayaking on Town Lake, a social
"meet and greet" at Central Market,
and lots more. To learn more, you
can visit
www.texas.sierraclub.org,
austin, and/or call 472-9094.
