THURSDAY, APRIL 3
DAVIS, OKLAHOMA
Americana Unplugged Series
Where artists/businesses raise $ for local charities
The La Ville Inn
222 East Main
Davis, OK 73030
Show Time: 7pm to 9pm
http://AmericanaUnplugged.com
713-927-0712
This sounds like a true house concert in that everyone
wins---the artist is paid for her performance, the
audience is provided with an intimate performance (no
sound system), and local businesses match each dollar
the artist raises to help a local charity.
FRIDAY, APRIL 5
I will be visiting a retirement home in Davis before I
drive on to OKLAHOMA CITY, OK
THE BLUE DOOR
2805 North McKinley
Oklahoma City OK 73106
9 pm
http://www.bluedoorokc.com
Come on out and enjoy one of my favorite venues. Sit a
spell, drink something cold, listen to stories and
songs and I might even make up a theme song, just
about you! I had a great time joking around with Greg
Johnson at the Folk Alliance. But you have to come to
the Blue Door
to witness the tom- foolery in action. And it happens
INSIDE. You can't stand outside and expect to hear it
through the walls! Nope.
SATURDAY, APRIL 5

and Sara Hickman

Men and women of every age question the meaning of
life.
Consider this: Underneath the 10,000 things is a
deeper life than the one you are living at the
surface. This is the place where “things that want to
be known” reside. Give yourself the gift of a day
apart with extraordinary guides who have earned how
to stay attentive even in the hardest places.
$50 per person/lunch included

LAKE TRAVIS THRIFT STORE OPENING
My friend, Jana Young's mom, is opening a thrift store

the moment, but I bet it will be on my website!
I'LL BE RIDING 50 MILES!
Dear Awesome Everybody I love!
As you may know, I have accepted the challenge and am participating in the Hill Country Ride for AIDS on April 26, 2008. Yes, I will be riding 50 MILES! I am helping to provide life-saving support to thousands of people living with HIV and AIDS through the excellent work of 10 local AIDS services organizations in the Greater Austin area.
So, I have pledged to raise money for Hill Country Ride for AIDS and I would love your support. Seeing your name in the sponsor list will GIVE ME THE STRENGTH... believe you me, it DOES make a difference to know I am riding with your love to back me up!
It is so easy to support this great cause - you can make a donation online by simply clicking here. Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
Keep working for a better world---I'll be peddling towards it!
Love and Gratitude,
Sara

HILL COUNTRY RIDE FOR AIDS
Yes, I am doing it for the second year in a row!
Riding a bike 50 miles! And I have a teammate! Jack
Jeansonne!
BIG NEWS IS:
My bike got stolen, so a friend of a friend graciously
allowed me to borrow theirs, so I ride in honor of
friends helping friends! And, say, if you'd like to be
a friend, feel free to go to www.hillcountryride.org
and help support those living with AIDS, help find a
cure, and know that I will ride my toukis off trying
to raise funds! Send a prayer into the air or well
wishes! Every bit of your support helps, trust me!
Especially at the 22nd and 37th mile!
http://www.hillcountryride.org
Ok, this is all for today. Thank you to Super Pal
Universe for putting on so many great shows during
SXSW, and if you haven't heard their first recording,
released just two weeks ago!, you can purchase it
through me at my site or visit
http://www.superpaluniverse.com. This is the kids' band I put
together that writes/performs their OWN music: Pop
driven activism to change the world! You can also see
fun webisodes on the site...
Remember: You totally rock.
So, put that on a sticky note on your bathroom mirror.
Let's go!
Love,
Sara
