Coordinate your Halloween costumes with your bestie/S.O.
Halloween costumes aren’t just for kids expecting bucketfuls of candy, and coordinating your spooky digs with your partner, your platonic ride-or-die, or even a group of couples is a great way to get creative for the holiday. Whether you want your costume theme to lean a little spooky (Joker and Harley Quinn, Jason and Freddy, a horde of zombies!) or classic (peanut butter and jelly, Daphne and Velma, Dorothy and her Wizard of Oz posse), there is power in numbers, and you are sure to dominate any local costume contest if you get crafty with it.

Stevie Ray Vaughan
Hell yeah, brother – Stevie Ray Vaughan was born in Texas and is also buried here in the Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas. Though he was buried in Dallas after dying in a helicopter crash, there is a memorial statue dedicated to him in Austin. He is most known for being a huge influence in blues rock and is widely considered to be one of the greatest guitarists in the scene. Though he struggled with alcohol and addiction for a large part of his career, he achieved sobriety and came back with more music, which received glowing reviews.

For its 11th annual Muertitos Fest, a culturally relevant celebration of art, life, and death, the staff and students of SAY Sí will be presenting three days of activities/displays including “student art, altars to honor the departed, family folk art workshops, food booths, an artisan mercado as well as live cultural performances highlighting local dancers, musicians and entertainers.” This year’s fest, which takes the Mexican Revolution as its theme, will also include the revealing of two large-scale sculptures created over the summer in collaboration with Colectivo Ultima Hora, a talented team of artists from Mexico City.
