Last year I marched in the Don’t Tag Texas / Anti Toll Road Rally rally here in Austin, Texas. I posted a Gallery of my protest pics from the event that happened Independence Day of last year. Click the Pic below for a link to my gallery. For more information about tomorrow’s march follow this link to Sal Costello’s Anti-Toll Road blog.

Now here’s something that sounds like a truly unique local event…

For anyone interested in all things parapsychological, check out former military psychic remote viewer Paul Smith’s upcoming “Dowsing For Your Dead” presentation for the Austin Genealogical Society.

Paul says, “It is an introduction and overview of how dowsing could be used to help search for ancestors’ final resting places.”

Paul is the author of Reading the Enemies Mind and wrote the Army’s manual for training people in the art of Remote Viewing.

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL UFO CONVENTION!
SATURDAY, APRIL 26 and SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 2008

The UFO phenomena once experienced by thousands at Giant Rock, in Landers, CA in the middle of the last century returns for its third year RETRO UFO (3) Event Held At The Integratron in Landers, California.

Whether you believe in UFO’s or not, RETRO UFO (3) will take you beyond the typical UFO lecture hall of a hotel conference room and into a new, and nostalgic way of viewing the UFO phenomenon that has intrigued thousands for a millennia. The event is presented in tents and canopies on the grounds of the World Famous Integratron. Speakers will lecture, share their stories and experiences about Giant Rock, The Integratron, Crop Circles and the latest UFO’s information. Many of these stories will show how a small group of men and women impacted a region of the Mojave Desert and made history, often compared in scale to the stories of Roswell, New Mexico.
