Doors open at 8pm with an enchanted artists’ bazaar filled with intuitive readings, prayer hoops, henna and glitter body art, handmade jewelry and patches, Austin-made soaps, massage, felted hair accessories, and more. Want to vend? Give Kelly at holler at kelly_ararat@yahoo dot com.

If that wasn’t enough, NuLighTribal and HipNautica featuring Tinkr will be on the bill along with a multi-media electro visual performance by Electra Texas and monkey dance by Hoecake the Circus Monkey (please refrain from spanking until after the show). The event is sponsered by Ruta Maya, KOOP Radio, Sangre del Sol, Starlet Sweets, The Austin Daze, Airbrush by Amy, Ararat Mid-East Fusion, Hot Mama’s Espresso Bar, and Twist It Sister Productions. Jamie Teer will be the Mistriess of Ceremonies for the evening.
