It is so hot, and you really want to go to a nice, cool movie theater
and see "Snakes On A Plane." Well, do that later this weekend; it's
going to be hot on Saturday and Sunday, too.

Tonight, at 7:30 p.m., we'll open the fall 2006 season of the Live Oak
Coffeehouse Concert Series, presenting the totally awesome duo, Albert
& Gage! Christine Albert and Chris Gage are two of the most beloved
musicians in Austin, and that's saying a lot in a town full of
talented musicians. Opening the show is the equally awesome George
Ensle. Tonight's concert is a benefit for Swan Songs, a local project
that brings live music to people near the end of their lives.

Doors will open at 7 p.m. at the air-conditioned Live Oak UU Church in
Northwest Austin/Cedar Park. Admission is $10 or a season pass and, as
always, includes gourmet coffee and pastries. Call 219-9008 or visit
the church's Web site at www.liveoakuu.org for driving directions.

And don't forget we'll host our second show of the season in just
three weeks, on Friday, September 8, when we will present The
Malvinas, performing in a benefit for Austin SafePlace. Mary Melena is
scheduled to open the show.

See you there!
