Austin area DUers...concert this Saturday |
|
Just a little self-pimpage. I'm a member of the Tapestry Singers (Austin's Women's Chorus). We're having our Fall concert this Saturday (11/22) at 7:30pm at the Central Christian Church on the corner of 11th and Guadalupe.
Tapestry sings songs by, for, and about women and songs that offer a vision of a just and peaceful world. The theme of this concert is "Raising Our Voices, Finding Our Peace". The program includes a wide variety of styles. Every thing from Gershwin to spirituals. We're singing in Zulu and doing a Shaker hymn and an Aretha Franklin medley all in one night. Should be a blast.
Anyone who is interested can contact me by PM or on this thread for more info. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. I look forward to seeing some of y'all there. :-)

3. 8 bucks? Thinking highly of yourselves, huh? |

Just kidding! I need to check my schedule, but it sounds interesting.

Hell, it's worth the price of admission just to see a bunch of white girls try to pay appropriate homage to Aretha. And you'll be able to say you saw me try to sing in Zulu.

9. It is kinda unbelievable... |
|
even for me and I'm a part of it. When we first started on the piece in Zulu I would have bet you any amount of money that we would never be able to pull it together by the concert. I was wrong. It sounded pretty good last night at rehearsal.

7. Not sure, but you should check out Vallejo. |
|
They're a good hard rock band, and I've played golf with one of the Vallejo brothers - nice guy.

13. I suppose I could overlook it... |
|
this time since it keeps my thread bumped so that maybe the other Austin DUers will see it and end up at the concert.
Sorry, looks like my desire for self-pimpage is overwhelming my desire to paddle your ass today. ;-) Thread-jack away.

Fine. I'll just go threadjack somewhere else. *huff*
;-)
On edit: What is the Shaker hymn you all are going to sing? 'Simple Gifts'? That's the only one I know.

So where in Texas are you?
I tend to wander all over the state for work. Plus we have been known to schedule big meetups for folks from all over Texas.
