The 1st Annual Austin Regional Grilled Cheese Invitational!

March 22, 2008

The Austin Grilled Cheese Invitational is the first regional Grilled Cheese Invitational in Texas. The winners of this regional will be offered places to compete in the National Invitational in Los Angeles in April, and the winner of the Best in Show will win a plane ticket to sunny southern California for the event. There will be trophies. There will be cheese. It will be amazing.

Anyone is welcome to attend this event and you do not have to compete in order to sample a sammich. All voting is done by audience ballot and each competitor must prepare at least 16 samples of their sammich for the gathered audience members to judge.
On March 22nd, we will all bear witness, but only the true, only the strongest, only proudest and most twisted ponies will earn the sacred right to hold a glimmering, golden trophy aloft for all to see and scream to the malignant heavens above: "I AM A FUCKING GRILLED CHEESE CHAMPION™!

Yours in bread, butter, cheese and victory.

You know what art is, right? You visit a quiet, white space, comment on esoteric art pieces, and exchange neutral, respectful remarks with your high-minded peers – sound familiar? Prepare for the gallery opening that wants to completely banish that idea of “art,” and offer something a little more off-the-wall. From March 6th through 16th the Austin Enchanted Forest will attempt to change your mind about art by, first and foremost, taking it outside. The result? The 4th Annual Art Outside event.


Austin Enchanted Forest * 1412 W. Oltorf * Austin, Texas 78704 * 512.743.9031 www.austinenhcantedforest.com www.artoutside.org

Ken's Amazing Work

Here are a few of flint knapper meet-up Ken's pieces. He had a beautiful point made from a television screen.

Flint Knapping Meetup

"When you find yourself alone in nature with no way out, will you be the hunter or food? We will learn the ways passed on for thousands of years.
Before HEB humans used stone and wood to create food and a home. This group of old and young is a hands on study and practice of stone tool making. As long as man walks this earth we will make and use stone tools.

Make time to visit with us,it will change the way you view your life today.
check out the flint knapping meetup."

80th Annual Kite Festival at Zilker Park

The Kite Festival was created by the Exchange Club of Austin in 1929 with a mission to encourage creativity in children. The day is “magical” and beautiful as a wonderful array of kites fill the skies over Austin!

Most importantly, the Exchange Club uses revenue from concessions, kite and t shirt sales to help Austin kids who are in abusive situations and to prevent child abuse.
