42 photos but only four scant paragraphs of prose, lwj!!?!?!? But thanks for digging this out. Doug stage right was weird, brought to mind my dyslexic youth. Hopefully some patrons found the festival musical component more than mere “backdrop”–as will the biker chicks, grumpy mama, tony g and me come sundown in the Desert today. I’m on my way.
Not much more prose stoger from this article.

The added bonus was having a soundtrack of bluesy tunes from Lucinda Williams playing live on a center stage to help set the tone. The accompanying concert from a big marquee name like Williams was a first for this kind of food festival in Austin. And while people certainly took in the show, the constant flow from the food tents, to the bar, to the stage made the added music component a welcomed addition, though not one that commanded the entire evening.
“I really like that everyone is still walking around to taste food and talking at their little tables while listening to the concert all at once,” said Becka Brown, one of the evening attendees. “The music isn’t overpowering, but really fits with something like this.”lwj
