Hi Rachael,
Your tv crew came by the downtown Farmer’s Market on the 21st. The market is from 9 am to 1 pm for farmers to bring their wares to town. It is an amazing site. Your crew visited with my husband and myself and then took some footage of our sign and product. We own Remember When Dairy from Yantis, Texas. We offer the most healthy milk and dairy products there is to offer. We have had several write ups and the latest is in the newsletter from the royal chef. I am also friends with Marc Chapman ( Cookie Lounge in Austin) He uses our milk along with several restaurants and stores. I want to extend an invitation to you and/or your crew. If you are ever up our way ( 83 miles east of dallas on I 30) please let us know and we will show you around and let you see how the milk and other dairy products get from our Jersy cows to your refridgerator. Love your show and glad to see you use it to make people aware of local producers.

Hi Rachael Ray,
That “street Band” is us– Green Mountain Grass, taking advantage of all the euros and pounds floating around our home town that week. If you give a P.O. box, we would be glad to send you a GMG care package, with CD and such.
Cheers and glad you liked Austin,
Jesse, bassist GMG

My wife and I had a great time at your SXSW party. Thanks for the guitar! Sorry if I snatched it a little too fast. John signed it for my wife later on, it is now a prized possesion. The appearance of Billy Gibbons(ZZ Top)onstage with the Cringe was awesome! I didn’t know that you were such “a cool rock chick”. Your smile is amazing.
BTW the Rose’s mojitos were perfect for the warm day. I know what my new summertime drink will be.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying Austin. I love it too. There’s lots of cool stuff to be seen.

Take the “Austin Ducks” tour if you get a chance.

Come back in late September to see lots of bats, it is very impressive. The repairs along César Chávez will be finished next month, so a jog around Lady Bird Lake will be a lot easier.

Wonderful party at the Beauty Bar yesterday…yum-o, tasty food and the music was the perfect mix. Cringe is polished, professional and put on a great show…I was the one who kissed your husband’s head when he did the “front row plunge” and can hardly wait until they make the Seattle scene. Anybody who gripes about you is just full of sour grapes…ride the wave for all it’s worth.
