Hey Landbounder! Join us for a camping weekend at Lake Georgetown. Good food, good company, and nothing but open skies. Leave the city behind and come hang with the crew. **General Plan** **Friday, May 1** Arrive around 3 PM (or whenever works for you), set up camp, grill, hang out. **Saturday, May 2** More of the same. Hikes nearby if you're into that, otherwise just camp life. Grill again Saturday night. **Sunday, May 3** Pack out around noon and head home. **Cost** **$30 per person**, covers the full stay (May 1st-3rd). Parking is not included. You're responsible for any parking fees on your end. Payment details will be sent after your RSVP is confirmed. **Who's Invited** This is a closed event. You're good if I've interacted with you before, or someone already RSVP'd can vouch for you. No prior connection and no voucher means no approval. RSVP if you're interested. I'll follow up to confirm your spot. **FAQ** **How many people can come?** The campsite holds 6. Spots are first come, first served by RSVP. **What's the RSVP deadline?** Tuesday April 28 by 3 PM. No exceptions. Nobody joins after that cutoff, even if spots are still open. **Can I bring a +1?** Not by default. If spots remain after the RSVP window closes, those may open for +1s. Don't assume until I confirm. **What if more than 8 people want to go?** If demand is high enough, additional campsites are possible. Overflow costs split among whoever needs them. **Is the $30 refundable?** No. If you pay and can't make it, a couple of options: • Sell or gift your spot to someone I've already met • Consider it a donation to Landbound. It goes toward making the group better If the event is cancelled on my end, you'll receive a full refund.

**May 29, 2026 - June 28, 2026** From the Georgetown Art Center: "Celebrating the latest exhibition *Impressions of Wildflowers* by artists Catherine, Maryruth, and Vera Prose, join the Georgetown Art Center in the gallery's Opening Reception event! Featuring live music, charcuterie, and wine, guests will have the opportunity to meet the artists and discuss featured works throughout the gallery. This is a free event taking place during normal business hours and is open to all ages. Catherine Prose has her studio in Wichita Falls, Texas where she teaches printmaking and drawing at Midwestern State University. Maryruth Prose works in her studio in Meers, Oklahoma where she primarily works on large Rio Grande loom using hand dyed wool. Impressions of Wildflowers is a multigenerational collaboration drawing from roughly 200 of Vera Prose’s (b. 1904-1998) pressed flowers dating back at least 60 years. Through printmaking, fiber, and word, the artists use the botanical heirlooms as the unifying inspiration eliciting memories of time, place, and relationships with nature and with each other.” **Reception** May 30\, 2026 \| 4:00 \- 6:00 pm **Artist talk** May 31\, 2026 \| 3:00 \- 4:00 pm [Georgetown Art Center](https://glasstire.com/venues/georgetown-art-center/) 816 South Main Street Georgetown, TX 78626 [Get Directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=30.6359592244898,-97.6771166326531)

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream!

Happy Birthday to all June birthday people! I put this on the schedule because it's my birthday month, and this is my favorite place; it's also Dave Koczur's (MAFIA meetup leader) birthday on June 8; if you who are reading this have a June birthday as well, tell us in the Comments! For anyone off work or with a flexible schedule, come to Pistachio Vera in German Village for a tea and pastry. We will try to get a table outside. If convenient, you could put a fold up chair in your car in case we can all sit outside but we run out of chairs. https://www.pistaciavera.com/
