We love art here in Austin!  Don’t worry if you missed the Spring Festival.  The next Old Pecan Street Festival will be September 26-27th of 2009.  See their website for more info.  And remember, if you want more information on living and playing in Austin or the surrounding Hill Country, just drop us an email or better yet, call us at 512-665-7778.  Enjoy the slide show and the music of Austin’s own (and my favorite Latino band) Del Castillo from their same titled CD just released in 2009.
