Parish Picnic & Bon Voyage Party
The Annual All Saints’ Parish Picnic will be held on Sunday, May 15th
This year we will be combining our annual Pentecost Picnic and a Bon Voyage
Party for Fr. Mike Adams as he prepares to go on sabbatical June 1st.
7:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist, Rite I service.
9:00 a.m. Coffee & Donuts in Kinsolving Parish Hall.
9:30 a.m. The Production Co. Sunday School presents Bible Time Machine
Holy Eucharist, Rite II with Baptisms at 10:00 a.m. in the church.
Following this service we will begin our picnic festivities.
Our very own award winning cooks: Michael Hemby, Mike McChesney,
Scott and Jessica Cummings and their crews will be cooking our main dish of
Jambalaya! Sausage wraps and hot dogs will also be available. Water,
lemonade, beer as well as sides and desserts will be set up in Kinsolving Parish
Hall. Tables for dining will be set up inside and outside on the church lawn.
Please bring a side dish and dessert (or two side dishes) to feed your family plus
four. This is a true potluck, so no need to let Mona know what you are bringing,
but a head count is needed. There will be limited space to reheat dishes. Bring
your sides and desserts to the kitchen on Sunday morning.
Charles Thibodeaux & the Cajun Aces start playing at 11:30 a.m.
(outside weather permitting, or inside if it rains),
and The Jugglers will also be here!
And, since it is Pentecost, we will still have our Tongues Afire Salsa Contest!
Same rules as previous years. Contact Mona Myers for more details at
[email protected] or 512.476.3589, ext 108.
And...we will have The Rev. Phil Nazro in the Library signing his new book (A
Collection of 30 Sermons by The Rev. A. Phillips Nazro, Jr.) Christine Havens
will be coordinating with Phil to sign books, and Mona will be handling all
transactions for the book purchases. There will be paperback copies for sale at
$20 each, but if you want a guaranteed hardback copy (at presale price $45) you
need to contact Mona immediately. There will be a limited quantity of
hardbacks available the day of the picnic, but when they are gone, they are
gone. Order yours today!
This event will obviously take many volunteers to make it a success. We need
your help. If you would like to help, please contact Tracy Cornelius at
[email protected] Thanks and we hope to see you there!

“Walt Whitman’s Civil War Experiences”
with Travis Helms
Brown Bag Theology
"All these I feel, or am … ”: Walt Whitman's Civil War Ministry
Walt Whitman stands as perhaps our nation’s quintessential poet.
Incorporating the Transcendentalism of Ralph Waldo Emerson into a
distinctively American idiom and poetic stance, he offered a vision of
the permanent Self or Soul that was resolutely democratic and
universal in its reach. What few may realize is that Whitman not only
embodied his vision of filial love within his highly distinctive poems, but
also enacted it over almost a decade of volunteer service in the civil
war hospitals of Washington, D.C. Reading to soldiers, writing letters to
loved ones on their behalf, bringing small gifts of fruit and tobacco, he
served as a ministering angel to scores of maimed and wounded
veterans. Through a close reading of some of Whitman’s poems, we
will explore not only the significance of Whitman’s thought and writing,
but also what his years of service to his countrymen can teach us
about living out a commitment of love and attention to one another.
Bring your lunch and join Father Mike for a
theological discussion at noon in the Library.
May 5th & 19th topic:
“The Nature of Knowing from Girard”
FRIDAYS:
MEDITATION for LUNCH!
Please join us for meditation on Fridays at noon in the
Church. Silent meditation from 12:05 - 12:25 followed by an

to enjoy the silence for as long as you wish! Contacts:
Jane Shaughness at [email protected] or
Patti Woolery-Price at 512.476.7643 [email protected]
Travis Helms is Youth Minister at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in
Austin. He is currently completing his doctoral dissertation on
theological aspects of the writing of Emerson, Whitman and other
American poets.
(Optional) Recommended preparatory reading: Walt Whitman,

Nursery
(Infants to 3 yrs.)
The Nursery is located in Gregg House
While infants and toddlers are welcome in church, please know that we have a loving and safe Nursery in
Gregg House available from 8:30 a.m – 12:30 p.m. every Sunday.
Children’s Chapel (NOTE: No Children’s Chapel on Easter Sunday)
Children’s Chapel is offered at both the 9:00 and 11:30 a.m. worship services. All children who wish to attend
Children's Chapel are asked to come to the Church with their parents, family members, or friends and find a seat.
Children's Activity Sheets are available at the back entrance for children as they wait. When the church bell is
rung, 3 year olds through 2nd Graders join the cross procession as it makes its way down the center aisle. The
children together with the All Saints’ Chapel Ministers proceed out of the church to the Chapel of the Holy Spirit
which is located downstairs in the Gregg House. The children return to church during the passing of The Peace
and are reunited with their families and friends. For more information concerning the Nursery or Children’s
Chapel, please call 512-476-3589 the Rev. Cynthia Caruso (ext. 110), or the Rev. Mike Adams (ext. 104).
Children at Communion
The tradition of the Episcopal Church is to welcome all who are baptized to receive communion – no matter what
age! Parents should, of course, be responsible for determining how and when their child receives the bread and
the wine that is offered. Children may receive the bread in their hands, eat the wafer, and then sip the wine from
the chalice when it’s offered; or children may receive the bread in their hands and then dip the wafer (“intinction”)
into the wine (taking care not to dip their fingers in the wine); or children may receive “in one kind” taking only
the bread in their hands and then crossing their arms over their chest when the chalice passes indicating they
are not receiving the wine; or children may cross their arms in front of their chests to receive a blessing. We
invite all children to join us at the altar rail at communion time – even if not receiving the bread or wine. Children
will be discussing in their Sunday Morning programs the symbols and the meaning of the Eucharistic Meal. Mike,
Phil, or Cynthia are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your child and communion.

Associate Rector Reflects
— The Rev. Cynthia Caruso
“Do you want to be healed?” Jesus asks the man who has been crippled 38 years.
I was about 10 years into a 15-year depression, and I was reading John 5 as part of my usual morning prayer time. I
put my Bible down in my lap and wondered, “Do you want to be healed of your depression, Cynthia?”
You would think the answer would have been a resounding YES, but it wasn’t. As sad and lost as I had been all those
years, I had entered a deeper and more fulfilling relationship with God. It had begun with my sitting in silence,
feeling as if I had been beaten up by the God who was supposed to love me. But over the days, which turned into
months and years, I came to know this God as being for me, being on my side. I had learned a new way to pray,
speaking and listening with my heart. Somehow, over those hard years, I came to know I was beloved, no matter what
happened financially or at work. What had started as a bereft woman sitting sullenly with a God she no longer trusted,
became an intimacy like none I had ever had. I reveled in this relationship.
Did I want to be healed?
I sat there, on the couch with my Bible in my lap for a long time, pondering.
I thought of people I knew who did not seem to want to be healed, and I understood, now. What if I got well, was no
longer depressed, and I lost my precious relationship with the God I now called “Abba.” I recalled hearing about a
movie where a nun has glorious visions—but then learns she also has a brain tumor. The nun is afraid to have surgery
because she might lose the visions.
Did I want to be healed?
I decided, on that May day, that I did want to be healed. To refuse healing seemed cowardly, and I did not want to be
a coward. So, sitting on my couch with the Bible open to John 5, I said a quiet, “Yes.”
It would be five more years before I was healed. My relationship with God did change. It is now a relationship of joy
and exuberance, instead of sadness and quiet. It has expanded to include All Saints’, and all our neighbors. My
healing cleared a path to ordination, something impossible to imagine when I was depressed.
Do you want to be healed?

Bridge Ministry (An Addiction Recovery Ministry)
— Bill McLellan
“Admitted to God, to ourselves, and another human being the exact nature of our wrongs”
This is the fifth of the twelve steps and it asks us to take a long hard and penetrating look at ourselves and expose the
wrongs that created the wounds, large and small that were created by our addiction and behavior, and hurt others.
It is one valuable process to discover this list, but quite another to reveal it to another human being. Frequently this
process unearths things that we, thru powerful self-denial, have refused to recognize or have hidden from ourselves.
The fifth step brings them to the daylight and the eyes and ears and heart of another human being.
The fifth step requires total honesty, to the best of our ability, it brings the objects of our hidden shame to the open,
and to the recognition of another human being. We, at All Saints, are blessed to have the presence of Deacon Ed
Wollery-Price. Deacon Ed has heard many Fifth Steps at Austin Recovery, a long serving drug and alcohol treatment
center, and is exceedingly helpful to the community, struggling in recovery from their illness.
He tells a wonderful story of hearing the fifth step, of a person who had made a very diligent effort to dig deep inside,
and made long lists and descriptions of all the wrongs that pained him. They were sitting under a large tree at the Hicks
Family Ranch in Buda, on a clear and calm sunny day as he talked and Deacon Ed listened. Suddenly a gust of wind
arose, on this otherwise calm day, and blew his meticulous list all over the ranch.
They scurried to collect them, when Deacon Ed said “That is how important this stuff is now, God has blown it all
away.” And that is what happens; when our deepest shame is open in daylight, it loses its power over us, and helps free
us to become what we always wanted to be.
Allow me to quote the spiritual author, Angeles Arrien:“The raw experience of descent (descending into our own inter
terrain and expelling all that is false and at odds with our essential being) prepares the way for the increased
self-knowledge and self-acceptance that are honest and true, anchored in a kind of self-confidence that is neither
inflated or deflated.)
The fifth step brings us to a new life, free of shame, both open and hidden, and allows us to continue our journey to
become the person we had always wanted to be. The bridge team is ready and willing to help. Seek us out.
The Bridge Team provides a compassionate ministry to engage the hurting, point to direct help, nurture personal growth, and
celebrate recovery. Team members: Bruce Bennett, Marion Callahan, Ed Myers, Bill McLellan, Alan Nelson, John Orth, Beverly Pond,
Terry Tottenham, James Williamson, with guidance from Deacon Ed Woolery-Price and support from Father Mike Adams.

Notes
from the Console
I begin this month by thanking all of those who made our annual Choral Mass such a success: from Jerry LaPorte’s graphic
design, to the orchestra put together by Meredith McAlmon, and the behind-the- scenes support from Marvin Jones and Mona
Myers, and many others who assisted, there was a whole supporting cast which most of you never see, without whom such
an undertaking is not possible. And of course, my gratitude goes to all the members of the Parish Choir for all of their hard
work in putting the Schubert Mass together.
Several people have expressed interest in having a recording of the Mass. If you would might be interested in a CD, please
contact me at: [email protected]. (See below for details).
And of course, I cannot pass over the very good work that the Quin Choir is doing each and every week. Many of you have
noted what beautiful music they are producing. It is gratifying for me to work with so many dedicated musicians here.
And this is the time for my appeal: We always have openings in the choirs. Anyone interested is both encouraged and invited
to contact me. The Quin Choir rehearses on Sundays at 8, singing at the 9:00 service, and the Parish Choir meets every
Wednesday from 7-9pm, as well as Sunday morning at 11:30 to sing at the 11:30 service.
One of the things I love about Eastertide is that every Sunday has a particular theme which helps us to think about Jesus’
ministry and the salvation brought by the Resurrection and Ascension.
Many of you may have noticed that the 4th Sunday of Easter, the day of our Schubert Mass, featured hymns, anthem, and
sermon about Jesus as the Good Shepherd. For this reason, it is often known as ‘Good Shepherd Sunday.’ Now in May, we
have the Sixth Sunday of Easter on May 1. This is usually known as ‘Rogation Sunday’ (from the Latin rogare, meaning to
return thanks). This is the Sunday we often give thanks for God’s Creation, and for the beauty and bounty with which we are
surrounded. Hymns such as ‘The Spacious Firmament on High,’ and ‘Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature,’ help to underline
this, along with the anthems chosen for our services that day.
On May 8, we observe ‘Ascension Sunday,’ since this is the first Sunday after Ascension Day. Both choirs will be doing
anthems praising God for the Ascension of Jesus to heaven. The Quin Choir sings a wonderful setting by early American
composer William Billings at 9:00, while the Parish Choir sings a jaunty setting of a portion of Psalm 47 by John Rutter at the
11:30 service. Hymns will include the sprightly Ascension carol, ‘The Lord Ascendeth Up On High.’ Sunday, May 15 is the
annual Parish Picnic and the observance of Pentecost. On this day, we will combine the choirs to sing at our one service at
10:00 am. I have found a delightful Pentecost anthem by contemporary composer Evelyn Larter which should set the tone for
the day quite nicely. Hymns for the day, will be about the event known as ‘the Birthday of the Church,’ which we celebrate
each Pentecost. So, you can see there is always a reason to be here. I do my best to make the music both interesting and topical
to each day. I hope that you all find it to be enlightening and inspiring as we gather each week to worship the God who loves
us so much.

Well, folks, we’re almost there. We’re one month away from closing the books on another Front Porch
season. Over the past year, we’ve reached some major goals. PARABLE is now a weekly happening.
A dozen more of Austin’s talented troubadours have crossed our Unplugged on The Front Porch stage.
The Window has seen over 100 individual teenagers go out and serve the community for a combined
500 service hours, and altogether, The Front Porch has raised and paid-out over $25,000 this year to
Austin musicians, plus another $10,000 to charitable causes. In this, we also pioneered the Easter Vigil
– perhaps our most interesting take on a Front Porch-style church service to date. And – most
importantly – we hosted over 50 events to get people talking and learning from one another, balancing
the voices of local philanthropists, musicians, and thinkers with those of legends and stars the likes of
Temple Grandin, Ray Benson, Israel Nash, Gina Chavez, Micky ScottBey Jones and Krista Tippett.
Not bad for one season!
Now, we’re looking forward to next September, and what’s to come. However, we hope you’ll continue
to come out and support us as we close this year out in fashion! We’ve still got a few major happenings
in the calendar this May. Our Unplugged season will close out with Slaid Cleaves on May 19th –

Slaid Cleaves
7 pm on Thursday, May 19th
An undisputed talent in Austin and around the world, Slaid Cleaves won the coveted New
Folk award at The Kerrville Folk Festival in 1992, and hasn’t stopped telling stories since.
The voices of his childhood music heroes – Springsteen, Guthrie, Cash, H. Williams, Waits
– are present in his earthy instrumentation and clear, literary voice. None of his peers or
critics doubt his ability to tell a story. As Jim Caligiuri put it in the Chronicle: “There are
few contemporaries that compare. He’s become a master craftsman on the order of Guy
Clark and John Prine.” Join us as we close out what has been an unprecedented season of
Unplugged on The Front Porch.
Tickets $20 Doors open at 6:30

all over the United States.

“Post-Traumatic God”
An Army Chaplain and veteran of our war in Iraq, Peters’ duties during his year in
the combat zone included offering soldiers their last rites and counsel as they lost
brothers and sisters, and – often enough – their once stable marriages. For this
Memorial Day Parable event, David Peters will ask us to see The New Testament
as, “a collection of post-traumatic books written by a post-traumatic community
reflecting on the violent death of their teacher and friend.”

Thanks
“It seems appropriate for Mother’s Day, I send a note expressing
gratitude for the many loving and kind gestures to my family and
me during my mother’s illness and death. It was a true moment
of Amazing Grace when she passed and the grace continued
throughout her funeral service and reception in March. The
family and friends represented on March 12th was a true
outpouring of love and peace and a most fitting tribute to her life.
May she rest in peace and her love continue to be a beacon for
all. Thank you again from Mona Myers and her family”
Mona’s mother Shirley Lewis
GIFTS FOR OUR GRADUATES
It’s time again to bring your gifts for the graduating seniors. Our annual
happening you’ll surely want to participate in: bring a wrapped gift for the
seniors (high school and our seminarians). We’ll bundle them all into a big ol’
laundry basket and give each graduate his/her special gathering of gifts of love.
(Ideas: gift cards for eateries, bookstores, music, movies; practical gifts for next
phases of life; inspirational books and movies). Wrap them, put a name on them
and bring them to the Church office. On Youth Sunday (May 22nd), hear one of
our high schoolers preach, then come to Kinsolving Parish Hall and learn where
they’ll be spending next year and see them enjoy their gifts from all of us. 2016
seniors: Rebekah Albach, Cecilia Barnhill, Grace Battle, Celestina Inez Clift,
Robert Hopper, Hannah McChesney, Annika Ostrom, Sophie Schmidt,
Campbell Stuart, and Jack Vela. (If we’ve left anyone off of this list, please let us
know at the Church office at 512-476-3589).
Masterson Library Update
Come see the changes to the All Saints’ Masterson Library. Thanks to the generous donations of Heather and Martin
Kohout, Phil Nazro, as well as others, our book collection is significantly enhanced and updated.
The library catalog is up-to-date with listings by title or author. Books by popular authors including Richard Rohr, Joan
Chittister, Karen Armstrong, and Brene Brown can be found. The collection now includes the complete Classics of Western
Spirituality as well as books on biblical exegesis, theology, church history, and spirituality. You can also find books on other
religious traditions, including Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism.
Gratitude goes to our dedicated librarian, Patti Woolery-Price, assisted by Anne Province, for incorporating these donations
into our library collection and the library catalog. The library runs on a self-service honor system. You will find check-out
cards in each book. Just put your name, email address, phone number, and date on the card, and leave it in the indicated box.
The library also has an extensive reference section.
Saints On Call provides one or several meals to a parishioner who is just home from the hospital or who has had a
death in the family. Saints On Call has a list of people who have indicated a willingness to cook a meal and deliver it
to a fellow parishioner in need. Using this list, the Saints On Call captain of the week finds someone who lives near
the parishioner to take care of meal preparation and delivery. This same offer also pertains to other needs, such as
rides to medical or other appointments at those times when your usual resources seem to be out of pocket. If you
would like to be called upon occasionally to help with this vital part of the Saints On Call ministry, contact:
Joyce Edwinson, 512.288.0754 or Milton Bell, 512.689.4997

JAZZ ON THE FRONT PORCH OF THE ALTAR!
Loaves & Fishes had a fundraiser!
The fabulous ELITE JAZZ COMBO from Huston-Tillotson University played jazz, blues and rock, new and old, in the church! The
jammers played, we rocked and swayed! After Father Steve did introductions, Father Mike described the history and the success
of Loaves & Fishes. People come to Loaves & Fishes not so much for the $30, Father Mike told us, but for the fellowship, the love
and respect that they meet at All Saints’.
Indeed, Loaves & Fishes volunteers talk to every client with love and acceptance.
We don’t question our clients about how they got into the situation they’re in.
We don’t make any judgements about their actions.
And we don’t make their decisions for them.
We talk to each person as a friend, knowing full well that we could be, ourselves, in the same position.
Thank you to Huston-Tillotson University and to the Elite Jazz Combo!
Thank you to Father Steve Kinney and the Front Porch for helping to sponsor and organize this event!
Thank you to Josephine Sherfy for her inspiration and leadership at getting the whole thing off the ground,
and to Amy Pro, who holds Loaves & Fishes together.
Thank you to Jerry LaPorte for providing great posters, and to EVERYONE who helped bring about this wonderful event!
AND, thanks to each one of you who was able to attend! Loaves & Fishes received more than $1,000 in cash donations which will
cover our financial donations for most of our clients for one week! Thank you all, you are All Saints!

EPISCOPAL DAY SCHOOL
Hey, What’s Going On Over There At The Day School?
After all that has happened on campus during the
month of April, I thought it might be timely to share
a reflection from one of the students who attended
our Homelessness Immersion trip in January.
Blessings,
The Rev. Beth Magill
DC Immersion Trip Reflection
By Becca Rigby, Class of 2016
When I got back from DC, the people who knew I went
asked me what I learned about the homeless, and what do
I think needs to happen to solve it. But there was a problem,
I came back with a lot more questions and very little
solvency. But I do not think the intent of the immersion
trip was to solve homelessness. It was about taking the
time to appreciate the complexity of the problem, an
attempt to understand it by breaking it down into as many
components as possible. Life circumstances, income, lack
of affordable housing, displacement, unemployment, the
list can go on for as many people homeless there are as
many and varied reasons for it. The personal stories and
testimonies of the past and currently homeless were difficult
to witness because my life has been very different from
theirs, and not because either of us deserved it, we were
simply born into different circumstances. The stories were
inspiring because to see someone that society views as
broken, but to know that they have more strength and
endurance then I will ever have is an eye opener. That is
the first step—open your eyes, mind, and heart to the
experiences of being in community with all who are in
your community. The hardest part for me was to always
start a conversation, in part because I do not want to be
intrusive. I know that I personally have times of the day,
like on the morning bus, where I prefer to be left alone.
Keeping that in mind while trying to start a conversation
with a homeless neighbor is actually the best thing to
remember because the conversation will not always take
which can be discouraging. However, remembering that
just because we have very different lives does not mean
we have no similar human experiences—bad days and not
feeling extra chatty are a couple of them. I think if I could
pass along one message it would be to remember what
unites us as a community, and to recognize that yes we
have differences, but that only divides us if we let it, and
often fear is the tool of division. That is the second
step—kindness and acceptance. I have yet to describe the
most important part of my journey from the immersion
trip…where did I find God in all this, and after breaking
the complexity of homelessness into tiny chunks, what
next? This is where I felt the most lost, and paradoxically
the most hope. On the whole, the issues involving
homelessness are systemic, structural, overwhelming, and
numerous. There is not a one plan fixes all, and I do not
think I will be able to end homelessness by tomorrow. But
delving into the complexity and getting overwhelmed in it
is a necessary part in the process. It allowed me in the end
to come out with a more realistic perspective, yes I cannot
fix all of the issues, but I can work on a piece that plays to
my strengths. This is where using our differences can help
unite us rather than divide.
Kindergarten kids and their Kapok Tree.
Our Auction Party on April 21st was a big success! We netted
close to $40,000. Day School parents Becca Dobberfuhl, Daphny
Ainslie, Anne Wood, Melody McCaig, Jennifer Skloss, Katie
Pierce, Jamie Meuth, Christina Adams, Amanda Seats,
Matthew Davis, Leigh Ann McGehee, Kim Actkinson, Katie
McCallum, Whitney Peschel, and Merrilee McGehee did an

or by underwriting the Auction. You are cordially invited to join
us on Friday, May 20 at 10:30 for our Kindergarten Graduation
in All Saints’ Episcopal Church. We begin this service with each
Kindergarten student ringing the bell as he/she enters the Church.
This year, the bell will ring 19 times! Then, these (almost)
graduates will sing I Am A Promise, I Am A Possibility and share
with us what they want to be when they grow up. This
Chapel/Kindergarten Service completes our school year.
We still have openings in our Summer Camp in June. You can
find additional information about Camp in this newsletter. Or,
you can call the School Office and we will send you the

PICTORIAL DIRECTORIES ARE HERE!
The pictoral directories will be available for pick up on Sundays between services outside Kinsolving Parish Hall. If you and
your family have photos in the directory, you can sign for and receive your free copy. A limited number of directories will be
available for $10 and Mona Myers will be set up to handle those sales today and any Monday-Thursday in the church office.
Many thanks to the Photo Directory Committee for making it happen!
CHORAL MASS CDs AVAILABLE:
Choral Mass CDs - Order forms are available at the back of the church, or at the greeter’s table by the Parish Hall door for
those who are interested in having a recording of the Schubert Mass done in our services on April 17th. Please fill out the

HELP DEFRAY ADOPTION COSTS FOR OKSANEN GAYLORD FAMILY:
As you may know, the Oksanen & Gaylord family will adopt a new family member soon. She is almost four years old and her name is Shao
Fu Yan, which means “beautiful mist” in Chinese. Alison, Monica and Elizabeth will travel to China this summer to bring her back to Texas.
Eric and David will stay home and prepare for their arrival. You can help defray the costs of her adoption and the family’s travel expenses by
donating gently worn shoes. Yes, shoes! The Oksanen family has paired with an organization that sends shoes to developing countries. The
organization (Funds2orgs.com) offers this unique fund raising effort to qualified groups in need of resources for worthy causes. It is an ideal
way to help since almost everybody has an extra pair of shoes in their closet. Please consider donating a pair of shoes and bring them to the
church office by May 31st. You can also help by keeping the family in your prayers. We pray for their safe travels, for their success in raising
sufficient funds, and for a smooth transition when their little girl arrives in Austin. Let’s welcome Shao Fu Yan to our church family!
MOVIE EVENT ON MAY 12th:
The movie is called LAST DAYS IN THE DESERT and it follows Jesus as he is fasting in the desert. It goes to place that is
fostering a lot of good conversation in the religious community because it offers a more “son or man” perspective on Jesus
Christ than typically seen in films about Jesus as of late. In the film the lead actor plays both Jesus and the “devil” character,
so people with various religious backgrounds are looking at the film very differently. Ultimately, we think its a compelling
movie that is different than religious films that have been released more recently and it stands as a strong piece of art.
The Movie stars Ewan McGregor, and it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival two years ago. Film premier in Austin
with special music and a taped Q&A on May 12th. Link to the website: http://www.lastdaysinthedesert.com
Film premier in Austin with special music and a taped Q&A on May 12th. Tickets are available here:
