People and music and San Martian stuff

Summer was a pretty rollicking season around here. San Marcos had its first Pride Weekend, and I am glad to know a few of the people involved in making that happen. In an inevitable display of small-town charm, the Pride Weekend festivities included a drag show at the VFW Hall. Here are a couple of pics from the parade downtown:
Some cops escorted the parade, some were in the parade

Though I don't have photos, I mentioned in a previous blog post that my friend Dave Shelton has been studying and giving workshops on the Nordic Runes and the subconscious. He has a great blog called Thorsdaeink.

And I promised pics of some of the bands I have been out to see over the past few months, so here they are. Most are from San Marcos, and all are spectacular. I've put links to Facebook pages and websites in the captions so you can find out more about these talented folks.

Conway the Whale, another local act offering impassioned folk
Captain M.A. Zing, yet another San Martian,
offering catchy rock from another planet
