Here we go again....

5 May 2011

Been a long week or so, had a lot going on.  And as you read this, the Prairie Flower, Buckaroo, and I should be up in Shakespeare; doing our thing.

Last week end, April 30^th, Jimmy Portillo and Chris Shatan were on hand at the El Paso Museum of History for the premier  of issue #5 of “Hell Paso: The Dallas Stoudenmire Story.”  I admit, I haven’t had a chance to read through #5 from cover to cover yet, but glancing through it remains a crisp new approach at a major series of events in El Paso’s Old West history.  Was a pretty good turnout, 50 or so folks, to look over the books and purchase the series.  Chris did a free sketch for anyone buying all 5 at the museum that day.

The tours at Shakespeare went well. Had a good group of folks come visit.    Work is going along slowly, but steadily.  The April Living History Tours saw the first opening of the Dance Studio to the public.  Kay Shannon conducted that portion of the tour.

May 21^st will see the second episode of OWEP Radio to feature live guests.  Chris Medina and the crew from GHOST-EP be on hand to discuss how history plays an important part of ghost hunting.  It ought to be an interesting show.

So until next time. You all take care, May God bless, and keep your powder dry....

Catching Up

As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been keeping up with this lately.  There's good reason.  I have been busier that a one legged man in a butt kicking contest.  Earlier this month I received word that I was needed to do the regular monthly Shakespeare Ghost Town tours.  So looks as iffn I'll be heading to Lordsburg once a month for at least this summer. 
Easter Week end was the first Living History week end at Shakespeare.  Had over 125 folks come visit and take the tour.  This marked the opening of the dance studio for the first time.  Kay Shannon conducted that part of the tour, with yours truly leading the folks the rest of the way. 
This after noon sees the premier of issue 5 of "Hell Paso: The Dallas Stoudenmire Story" from Jimmy Daze Comics.  Jimmy Portillo and his crew will be on hand at the El Paso Museum of History to talk about the series, and to autograph copies of the comics.
Also this week, the first two video clips for Old West El Paso Video were posted on You Tube.  They are rough, but hey, it's the first editing I have done since 1979.  There are more to follow as I collect footage and find time to edit and post the clips.  I am shooting at 5 minute clips, covering events and places connected to El Paso and Old West History.   Hopefully sometime this week I will be able to add the video page to the website.

So for now, you all take care, may God bless, and keep your powder dry....
Between two trips to Shakespeare, and school, I have to admit I am one pooped Lil Cowboy.
