Austin Cat Festival
I had a wee cat brainstorm yesterday.
About a week ago, I mentioned the Siamese Cat looking for a home here in Austin or wherever. Well, he has Feline Leukemia which seems to be making it difficult for him to find a new home. Still no takers.
So then, yesterday, I took Tiziano and Torre, my teenage tabby cats to the vet. There, I saw a flyer for a big dog festival with Valejo. Add to that the MeowMix Kitty Cat Cafe in New York, and a thought came to me. What about putting on the Austin Cat Festival to raise money for Feline Leukemia research, get the Siamese Kitty adopted, and of course, build awareness for my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD!
Mayhaps do something at a local venue like Ruta Maya with 2-8 local bands and me performing a few of my cat songs. Start it off small to start. But it'd be way cool to add things like a cat art show, some cat vendors, cat health advice and all that jazz.
The trick is putting all that stuff together. I could probably find the bands... ooo! Schrodinger's Cat. But to really do a good job it be cool to have some help. So if ye know anyone who might be interested, let me know.
Meantime, it's on my brainstorming list to work out more ideas. I might wait until November or so... though it'd be nice to try to put on in September before I get too busy.
