This is Eric Stark with The Smart RV'er Podcast Delivering the smarts you need to enjoy the freedom of the RV Lifestyle without the fear of breaking down! Living the RV Life: Eric and Alexis talk about the FMCA Rally. From its beginning, FMCA (Family Motor Coach Association) has been centered on bringing people together. To make friends. Learn about their RVs. Travel to parts unknown. Have fun. While much has changed since those early days, FMCA continues to unite RV enthusiasts through its conventions, area rallies, and chapter gatherings. FMCA's biannual international conventions unite thousands of people for four days of everything RVing – education, shopping, entertainment, and camaraderie. There are also regional events. Each of FMCAs' 10 areas generally holds an area rally annually, where members gather to socialize, view exhibits, attend seminars, and enjoy quality entertainment. Area rallies are organized by FMCA and area associations.

Federal investigators found accessibility issues for people with disabilities at all 50 of the Travis County polling places they reviewed during the 2020 primary election. A county housing assistance program is likely to close earlier than expected due to unsustainable demand. During SXSW, Beck will play a show at 310 ACL Live, doubling as a benefit for organizations supporting LGTBQ Texans. After South By's over, we've got the Fusebox Festival on the radar. Austin lands on a list of the worst U.S. cities for allergy sufferers, meanwhile cedar season is likely sticking around longer than usual this year. #1 Texas Longhorns baseball squeaked by the Texas State Bobcats last night in San Marcos 9-8, they play again tonight at Disch-Faulk Field. Texas Basketball is projected to be the #5 seed in the NCAA Tournament, they kick off Big 12 Tournament play against TCU on Thursday morning at 11.

The man who helped make Justin Bieber a household name has sold his Lake Austin home in an almost 19 million dollar bitcoin transaction. Austin's first Gucci location is open, in a 5 thousand square foot space in the Domain - it's only the 5th Gucci boutique in Texas. Should HEB be nervous? Grocery giant Kroger is bringing delivery services to Austin. The employees of the Starbucks location near UT at 24th and Nueces have unionized. You old-schoolers will remember Leslie Cochran, the iconic cross-dressing unofficial Mayor of downtown Austin - there's a new remembrance of Leslie to check out, ten years after his passing. And a strong cold front is inbound for the opening weekend of SXSW, and there's a burn ban on now in Travis County as fire danger will be elevated with high winds.

Chris Schlichting lives in the Twin Cities within the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of the Dakota people, and is a Minnesota-based, performer and dance enthusiast who believes in a flexible definition of dance. His choreography expresses itself as a tensile inclusion of dichotomies. Relying on the formality of structural investigation and the emotion of earnest expression, his dances evoke the grandiosity of spectacle and the delicacy of intimate moments. Schlichting develops dances outside the constraints of thematic and conceptual frameworks, allowing the choreographic process to develop focus through physical intuition and sensory awareness.Schlichting was named Best Choreographer in 2013 by City Pages for his work Matching Drapes, which also received two Sage Awards, including one for “Best Performance” and one for “Best Design”. He is a 2015 McKnight Choreography Fellow, administered by The Cowles Center and funded by the McKnight Foundation, and was the first recipient of the American Dance Institute's (now Lumberyard) Solange MacArthur Award for New Choreography, a project that provides commissioning funds, fiscal sponsorship, developmental and production support for a new work from one U.S. based choreographer every year. Schlichting's 2015 work Stripe Tease was named a “Top dance of 2015” by the Star Tribune.Schlichting has been presented by venues throughout Minnesota, including the Walker Art Center, the Cowles Center, The Southern Theater, the Bryant Lake Bowl, the Red Eye Theater and many more; in New York at Danspace Project and as a frequent contributor to CATCH! performance series; Legion Arts in Cedar Rapids, IA; ODC in San Francisco, CA; Velocity in Seattle, WA; Fusebox Festival in Austin,TX; the Storefront Theater (Chicago, IL). Schlichting's work has also been commissioned by James Sewell Ballet (Ballet Works Project), Carleton College, The Southern Theater, Young Dance, and Zenon DanceCompany.

For over 15 years the Fusebox Festival has been delivering an amazing array of curated performances and artists from all over the world and bringing them right here to Austin. Since the festival will not be able to go on as planned as a live event, the organizers had to pivot the whole event online into what they are calling the virtual edition. Join me for a conversation with Executive & Artistic Director Ron Berry and Associate Artistic Director & Curator Anna Gallagher-Ross to talk about how that played out and what we can look forward to experiencing this year. www.fuseboxfestival.com Instagram @fuseboxfestival (https://www.instagram.com/fuseboxfestival/) Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd5l0WJrBaeEJpZl8M_HDxQ) Below text courtesy of the Fusebox website The Festival In light of the COVID-19 crisis, it is not possible to hold Fusebox Festival as we originally planned. Our Festival isn't canceled, it's re-imagined as a virtual space where our community, both local and global, can come together to experience the work of Fusebox artists and participate in an exciting array of virtual events and activities. Fusebox Festival 2020: Virtual Edition is a weekend-long broadcast taking place April 24-26. Think public access TV meets international block party meets live performance! We see this as a platform to explore what it means to gather together and celebrate adventurous art, online. This Virtual Edition will feature: Live-streamed performances Conversations Artist Studio Visits Interactive Activities Happy Hours Cooking Shows Exhibitions and much more! Please mark your calendars for April 24 – 26, follow us on social media, and we will be in touch soon with our artist lineup and schedule.

This very special episode of LWL is a live recording featuring artist & curator Roberto Jackson Harrington, artist Alexandra Robinson, University of Texas' scholar Carra Martinez, and artist & educator Erin Gentry. In this dynamic panel for Fusebox, an Austin Texas performing arts festival, FavyFav, Babelito and their guests discuss their experiences as Latinx people passing as, but (some) not identifying as, white. From their upbringing, to the different forms of code-switching, the themes in this panel are necessary conversations aimed to address privileges and responsibilities within the Latinx community of Texas and the country. The colorism is real, y'all! #austinTX #supportlatinxpodcasts #lwlpod https://www.fuseboxfestival.com/

EPISODE 14: Using a string, cardboard and magnets, the Rude Mechs' "Not Every Mountain" invites us to watch the collective effort of making and unmaking a series of interlocking mountain ranges. We watch minutes, or perhaps centuries, unfold, as mountains rise and fall, clouds dance, birds alight and depart, and a moon delicately hangs overhead. "Not Every Mountain" is a joyous and poignant meditation on the fleetingness of time and the many lives of rocks, underscored by a poetic recitation–or perhaps a spiritual incantation. In this episode, Shawn Sides, Thomas Graves, and Peter Stopchinski of the Rude Mechs speak to us about the process of creating the performance "Not Every Mountain," which will premier at Fusebox Festival 2019 (April 17-21st).

"As an artist you have to remember that you are always working. And you’re not just working when you are in the studio actually making something. You are working when you’re sleeping, dreaming, reading, looking at other peoples art, having conversations, and tripping over a rock. It’s all a part of your practice. To be able to embrace every element of your life as being a part of your practice takes the pressure off of going to the studio and the blank page. Just think of your studio as another tool." Bio courtesy of Alyssa's website Alyssa Taylor Wendt (http://alyssataylorwendt.com/projects/) is a multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker and curator that works in Austin, Texas and Detroit, Michigan. Her recent projects reference themes of ritual, animism, monuments, mysticism, the primordial, architecture, gender and mortality using video, sculpture, staged photographs, sound and performance. The work tends to provoke questions in the viewer with dark and evocative aesthetics and multiple layers of perceived truth. She earned her BA from NYU and her MFA from Bard College. Transplanted from New York City, she has shown in numerous national and international exhibitions and performed at The Museum of Art and Design in New York, envoy gallery, The Fusebox Festival and Deitch Projects and completed residencies in Iceland and Norway. She is currently finishing her opus multi-channel video work HAINT and just curated an epic exhibition about death and transformation with over 60 artists at DEMO Gallery in Austin. She enjoys darkness, gospel blues and bad jokes. The following text courtesy of the Visual Arts Center website Alyssa Taylor Wendt: HAINT (https://sites.utexas.edu/utvac/alyssa-taylor-wendt-haint/) January 25 – February 22, 2019 HAINT is an immersive, three-channel video installation by Austin-based artist and curator Alyssa Taylor Wendt. Filmed over the course of three years in Croatia, Detroit, and Texas, the individual channels unfold in counterpoint with one another to create a haunting meditation on the ways we process history, both as individuals and as a culture. The piece draws on motifs from Wendt’s personal cosmology and explores the associative powers of perception, cycles of history and ruination, and the spiritual energy that objects, the landscape, and architectural spaces carry with them. Using Eastern European songs, voiceover, opera, black metal drones, and ambient sound, HAINT combines images of post-war architecture, monuments, and ruins to create a poetic investigation of war, memory, and storytelling. In addition to the video, the exhibition includes sculptural elements and a collection of staged production photographs that intersect with the video’s multifaceted narrative. This exhibition is organized by MacKenzie Stevens, Director, Visual Arts Center, with Clare Donnelly, Gallery Manager, Visual Arts Center and Robin K. Williams, Ph.D. candidate in Art History at The University of Texas at Austin.

To help kick off our Austin360 Grackle Week, this week’s grackle-themed episode of “I Love You So Much” brings stories from fellow Austinites who interact with this loud and prolific bird species on an everyday basis. Judith Bailey, who is a volunteer birding guide with the Travis Audubon Society, talks about the biology, geography and behavior of grackles and what it was like playing herself in a grackle-themed Fusebox Festival performance earlier this year.Breaking: Heloise Gold talks to video journalist Reshma Kirpalani what she's learned about Grackles while working on an April Fusebox Festival performance of "Grackle Call," an audiovisual performance inspired by Austin's birds. We also get to hear a story from longtime Austinite Brady Coleman, whose life was actually saved by a grackle. (No, really.) And then, co-hosts Tolly Moseley, Addie Broyles Omar L. Gallaga join in on the bird chatter in a conversation about whether grackles should replace bats as the true mascot of the city, in a nod to Grackle Week stories by Pam LeBlanc and Nicole Villalpando. In our “Toast” recommendations, we love Pixar's new “Bao" short, "Queer Eye" star Jonathan Van Ness’ podcast, “Getting Curious,” and the Netflix stand-up special "Nanette" from Australia's Hannah Gadsby.

"Within our festival there’s space for really different kinds of expression of art, and some of those are perhaps harder immediately to relate to. But we’re holding space for those artists to challenge things, to experiment, to tinker. To help us as people, as artists, think about things in new ways, and give us things to chew on. I love things that have mystery to them, that I don’t understand." The annual Fusebox Festival (http://schedule.fuseboxfestival.com/) aims to allow for a meaningful exploration and exchange between varied art forms and art communities by making space for what might only be possible in a live environment with other people. Each year Ron Berry and his team curate and paint onto the canvas that is the festival, a rich cross section of artists from different backgrounds and geographies into a diverse set of live event situations and performances. It is a platform for local, national, and international artists to have their work seen and it fosters an exchange between them and with the audience as they share combinations of theater, dance, film, visual art, music, and literature. Beyond the event itself the intention of Fusebox is to take something typically ephemeral, and keep it alive in relation to the city of Austin year round. The arts are not separate from life and as the city grows and changes how can he and his team play a role in keeping the dialogue about housing, space for artists, and other issues, moving forward and allow for community engagement, inclusivity, and thinking about solutions while staying in tune with the rhythm of the neighborhoods they aim to serve. Ron’s leadership style allows for and encourages contributions from others and is driven by curiosity, a desire to learn and grow, and the use of doubt as an impetus to crack things open and find new answers. Over the last 14 years, since the festival started, Ron had traveled all over the world, has experienced 100’s of performances, and has built a vast network of artists, curators, organizations, and collaborators to work with. Even though the line between his personal and professional life is blurry he finds much inspiration and is fed artistically as the festivals Executive & Artistic Director. Ron is such a generous and wonderful guy and our conversation was really fun for me. It’s hard not to be excited and inspired by what he and his team are doing every year. If you have ever attended the festival you know how fantastic it can be. Not to say that it is easy to relate to all of the work and that some of it will not challenge you in new ways, but if you are open to it the rewards can be very memorable and thought provoking.
