About me:

Hola! My name is Lupita Del Puente, and I am a Mexican Free-tailed Bat. I spend my spring and summers under the Congress Avenue Bridge in downtown Austin, Texas with 750,000 of my closest friends! Every evening as the sun sets, we fly out from under the bridge in search of food. We eat between 10,000 to 30,000 lbs. of insects every night, including lots of mosquitoes. Lots of our human friends arrive in the evenings to watch us fly - about 100,000 each year! Oh, and I've been told that it is wise for them to bring an umbrella -- and not because it's raining! For cool stuff featuring me, Lupita, go to www.cafepress.com/guanoink - a portion of the proceeds will go to the Austin Bat Hospital to assist them in their bat rehabilitation work! More designs coming soon! Enjoy! Squeak! Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Thanks to Greg and Erin in Amarillo for this amazing video!

Who I'd like to meet:

People who like bats. People who help bats. People who are afraid of bats but want to not be! People from Austin. People not from Austin. From Goths to Scientists... I want to meet YOU.

    P.I. (Pays) or Presentations Intimes 

    P.I. (Pays) or Presentations Intimes, invites the audience through a physical journey of sexual, spiritual, emotional and intellectual intimacy.  By intertwining electronic dance music and percussion with African dance and gymnastics, Dossavi injects contemporary African dance with powerful explorations of street culture and tribal ritual.  A uniquely forceful blend of modern, ethnic, and explosive sound and movement invokes intimacy that Dossavi delivers through riveting athleticism and grace.

    Stimulus Package

    SONIA
    May -a bad time of the year to attend a dance event? You are really busy with the end of school, kids, proms, exams or getting ready to leave Austin for the summer?

    We realize it's a busy time of year, and especially now in light of all the shifts in the economy. May is a treacherous time to present dance in Austin, we know by experience, but we didn't want to pass up this opportunity to share this work with you, our audiences.

    So we are offering Sònia's Stimulus Package: Two Tickets for the Price of One! That's right - we have a limited number of Twofer Tickets available for just $15.
