It’s Wednesday and Friday we are flying out. All the energy is moving in that direction. People traveling from all over to be there together. Totally an amazing feeling, an amazing phenononym.

I am callng Austin our Cruz de Ferro. It is a landmark that we all can be sure of. So much of the true work of this project has happened through the magic of modern communications and we haven’t had as much real contact with each other as we should have and landmarks have been hazy. And that is why this gathering in Austin is important to me. Well, one reason.

That is about the crew but then the audience is something that I need to consider. Why have these folks spent their hard earned time and treasure to be there to watch this little itty bitty movie. What do I owe them? How can I increase their understanding of what it is that we are trying to express? I am so glad that I am going to participate in this event. Thank you Annie for making this possible.

And the icing on the cake for me in the last few days has been listening and watching the music of Lucio Dalla who my Italian Camino buddy Lucia has turned me on to. He has passed away recently. And I think it was something like March 4th was his birthday and people all over Italy were playing his music and leaving their windows open to tell the world how much they love him. Thank you Lucia.

OK, time to get going. Working today and then taking tomorrow off. Check out Lucio. Love you all ways, Felipe.
