LONE STAR BOOK AUTHOR FESTIVAL 2021 = On! Saturday May 29th, Central Park Square, Seguin, Texas.




Howdy;

 

First off, thank you to everyone who responded with their thoughts about the Lone Star Festival being canceled at the Seguin Events Complex. 

 

Based on y’alls responses and working with the city we have come up with a program that will work in some format for everyone that had paid their fee. 

 

First, for those who are not thrilled about the heat, we are going to participate in the Pecan Festival currently scheduled for October 30 & 31 (Halloween weekend).  There is a discussion of moving it to the week before, so at this time it is NOT set in stone for that weekend. 

 

Those that wanted to wait for cooler weather can have a table in our booths at this event.  It will be limited to 10 authors only.  So, if you are one of those authors wanting to wait for cooler weather, this is your event.  NO additional fees or charges will be required, just email me with your request to be in that tent. 

 

Now, for the majority of you authors that felt doing it on the square was a great option, we are doing it on May 29th on the square.  Just as above, you will NOT be paying any additional fees for this change.  We will provide tents and tables as needed.  If you do have your table, please bring it.  We will ONLY be providing 4’ tables for this event.  If you need bigger tables and have one, please plan on bringing it. 

 

There will be access to electricity in small amounts, due to limited outlets.  Perfect for charging your phones, tablets, etc.  Not for long-term use. 

 

We will be providing for large fans to help keep certain areas cooler than without the fan.  We are expecting the highs to be in the 80’s, not currently expecting more than that. We will keep an eye on the temp as it gets closer to help adjust things as needed. 

 

Because of the outside aspect, we are going to work with the musicians to create a time flow to still allow for readings in the center of the park, where they will also be playing. 

 

Attached is a layout as it currently stands, with some adjustments as needed. 

 

Finally, I need each author that wants to attend the May 29th outdoor event to confirm they are on board with the adjustments, and if they feel having the event is best one day or two days.  Of course, two days will increase our costs but may add to the fun of the Holiday weekend. 

 

I have begun working with the Chamber and the schools to see what additional fun we can add to the event to make it as successful as we can. 

 

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know. 


Cheers,

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

People and their PETS.

In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
