It's settled. Get the word out!
Thursday, Nov. 10, 5:30-6:30, a Vigil for Deb Akers at the Voodoo Pew on Town Lake. Poetry continued from there at Book Woman's 7 p.m. venue. Bring flashlights. Burn ban, no candles allowed. Map for Voodoo Pew: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/2172607 It's on the north side of Town Lake near Town Lake YMCA and the animal shelter but across Cesar Chavez-- a trail goes under Cesar Chavez near the baseball fields at the Y and goes past the Voodoo Pew on the south side of Cesar Chavez and is a short walk from parking at Austin High School or the road directly in front of Town Lake YMCA.
