Peggy Johnson Live at Camp Casey 2005

Along the rode side fellow Camp Casey protesters break out in to song.

Camp Casey was founded by Cindy Sheehan after she failed to get a second meeting with President Bush for an explanation of the cause for which her son, Casey, died. Having been turned away, she pitched a tent by the side of the road and announced her intention to stay, day and night, for the full five weeks or until such a meeting is granted. She has also promised that, if she is not granted a second meeting, she will return to Crawford each time Bush visits there in the future.

Other members of Gold Star Families for Peace and other anti-Iraq War activists joined them, camped in public land, such as ditches by the road.

This is dedicated to Cindy Sheehan and her son Casey.

Guy Forsyth Live at Camp Casey 1 of 2

Its been a long and dusty, winding road for Austin singer/songwriter Guy Forsyth thats lead to a recent surge in praise over his dazzling live shows and his rich Americana roots sound. Forsyth (vocals, acoustic, electric, & slide guitar, harmonica, ukulele, singing saw), along with Will Landin (bass/tuba) and Rob Hooper (drums/Cajon), bring a unique mixture of styles such as folk, rock, country, and Tin Pan Alley to create a sound thats as heterogeneous, raw and compelling as America itself. Youll hear powerhouse vocals deliver energetic yarns about love, the government and the apocalypse, to name a few, as Forsyth and company squeeze everything they have into each song and rarely come up for air.

Pecan Street Festival Live Music in Austin 1 of 3

Since 1978, The Pecan Street Festival has been a beloved part of Austin's culture.
Presented twice a year in May and September, the massive event is one of the largest festivals in Texas, generating an attendance in excess of 300,000.
The fall 2010 festival on Sixth Street (formerly known as Pecan Street) was no exception.
Thousands line the downtown road turned outdoor mall.
The Pecan Street Festival is not exclusively a shopping event, although it is a main attraction.
Nearly 350 artists offer eclectic, affordable art and crafts including paintings, metalwork, woodwork, jewelry, frames, handmade clothing, ceramics, prints, handcrafted leather books, and the unclassifiable.
Festival organizers made a conscious effort in choosing vendors with a local flavor and a green approach.
This years festival features a designated eco-retail area including Audrey Steiners Furniture made from salvage wood pieces and Irresistible You! an organic make-up line.
In addition to the variety of items for sale, the outdoor festival also features musical performances, art classes, dance classes, a scholarship competition, healthy and green living areas, magicians, jugglers, ventriloquists, a carnival and a petting zoo.
The 29th Fall Pecan Street Festival has plenty of activities to entertain attendees of all ages. While keeping busy throughout the weekend it is recommended that you stop by the consolidated international food court which features Cajun, German, Chinese, Mediterranean, and South American eats.
The Pecan Street Festival implemented a self-imposed goal of 75% or higher waste diversion, including recycling and composting programs, in the Spring of 2009. The festival has biodiesel generators for electrical needs, electric scooters, chemical-free port-a-potties, and solar stages.
In addition, there has been an emphasis on community cooperation and education, with festival volunteers forming a new tradition of cultivating sustainable sensibilities. They do this by encouraging and facilitating environmentally friendly choices.
Festival goers are encouraged to bring their own canvas shopping bags, use onsite recycling stations, and - if feasible - to consider alternate transportation including arrival by bicycle, bus, rail, or carpool.
