I'm bringing out the rock band next weekend for a big shindig out at The Goat Pens. We've got a heckuva light show being put together for us by Lighthouse Show Design and we're gonna shoot some laser beams and play some rock and roll out in the desert, the way god intended. We rounded up Brendan Flippo and Jett Davidson to come sing for ya'll too, so if you like good songs, they won't be in short supply. We'll get things kicked off around 7pm with those two swapping songs, then Kalijah will hit the stage for a sundown set, followed by an intermission featuring more tuneage from Brendan and Jett. We'll wrap it all up with one more night time round of Kalijah with lights and lasers at full power. Should be a good time, ya'll - see ya soon!

On Friday, April 12, the festivities begin at La Kiva Restaurant and Bar, with live music from some of the best Terlingua local musicians. Saturday morning we're taking the party across the Río Grande from Big Bend National Park to our favorite town in México, Boquillas, for an authentic experience and to celebrate the unity, peace, dignity, and respect that we enjoy daily here in our piece of the borderland. On Saturday night, the party reconvenes at La Kiva for more live music from the Pinche Gringos, The Doodlin' Hogwallops, and headliners, Mike & The Moonpies – and, of course, more sotol tasting!

Kalita is a sweet 1 year old pup that was found as a stray on the streets. Shy at first, she blossoms once she trusts. She is 31 lbs and will be the perfect medium-sized dog. From her above-average smarts to her beautiful fox-red colored coat, this is one special girl. Kalita is well behaved, crated trained and working on being house trained. She enjoys the company of other dogs, knows "sit" and walks well on a leash. All she wants is to find her forever home! She is fully vaccinated and spayed, currently in a foster home. For more information on Peanut or any Jethro animals, please contact mmwesttx@yahoo.com
