Normally I wouldn’t cover a 1st year festival, but two things occurred. First, I fell victim to the local rumor mill that Cy-Fest 2011 was the second year for the festival instead of checking the facts on it, so I went ahead and scheduled it, and the second being that once I found out it was the first year, I just sort of didn’t care. You see, I grew up in the Cy-Fair area (a suburban area of NW Houston), and I sort of felt this burning civic need to make sure the world was at least aware of this festival, regardless if it shined in glory for the next several decades or was a one hit wonder. Up until this point probably the biggest parties going on were at a person’s house (or bonfire out by the barn), a spring fling thrown by a local church or a long running Friday night rodeo. A sleepy residential suburb for the most part when I was growing up, the Cypress area is arguably one of the fastest and steadiest growing areas around Houston now, and this festival was due to be probably the largest crowd the area has seen short of the Premium Outlet center in the area that seems to be amazingly packed every single weekend come open to close.
The Saturday morning of the event I wandered over to a local mom and pop deli to get some breakfast and happened upon a poster for the event that listed out the bands for the night, and two things caught my eye. First up was that a band that was a friend of the family (Luther and the Healers, just so you know) was playing just before sundown and that the closer for the night was Mark Chesnutt. I had still second guessed if I should cover the festival, but seeing that Luther and Mark were up on the stage that night made me confident that should the festival be a full shame that I would, at the very least, catch some legit musical acts.

I’m still working on the structure of the site, doing the reviews and live segment with James from EatMoreHeat.com, visiting new places for this site, receiving new products and writing content all in parallel. All this is on top of my regular day job, and to be honest it sort of feels like the mental chaos that follows a personal catastrophe. It vaguely feels like I’m rebuilding from the ground up, which is what many people in the Fort Davis, Marfa, Alpine, and Balmorhea area are doing right now, so I wanted to write about ways to help them out. I went out on a search and most of the communities as a whole seem to be stabilized right now due to the great support of their neighbors and their social services, but I found this great article that I wanted to share that has information on who’s still supporting folks in the area. I’d suggest giving it a look and sharing it wherever you can.

Guess what folks? I’m back!!!!! The site just got converted to WordPress and once I get the last of the paint on the walls of this place, then the house is going to start rockin’. To start it out EatMoreHeat.com and I have paired up on a recipe contest on their site to start the fires again. There will be a little construction going on around here for style and layout, but the regularity of content will be back, and I have lots of plans for different events and road trips this year.
Now excuse me for a minute… I’m going to celebrate my return with a Texas beer and sit back and enjoy a little SRV before it’s time to call it a night.
