A neighbor on 26th Street reported an attempted break-in at 26th & Geneva.
On 9/6 an attempted breakin was averted by people who were home. The individuals were driving a maroon 4-door vehicle. It was 3 hispanic men, one thin and two stocky, all with shaved heads and tattoos on their arms. They attempted to open the front door, and the person at home exited the house out the side and came around to ask the guys what they were doing. The car had a Marines sticker on the window.
Evidently, the description matches an earlier break-in in the Tech Terrace area.
Please let people know they should be on the lookout and should remember to lock their doors.

Keep tabs on your dogs
Our beloved dog, Bear, passed away suddenly on Sunday afternoon. The vet at the Small Animal Emergency Clinic (very kind folks) said she had enough toxins in her system to kill three dogs. We are positive she did not get into anything in the backyard so it appears she was intentionally poisoned. This would not be the first case of dog poisoning in the neighborhood. Keep an eye on your beloved pets.

TTU Vernacular Music Center community-outreach open meeting
Musicians, dancers, listeners, organizers: open-outreach community meeting for TTU Vernacular Music Center, Saturday Sept 10 5-8pm: J&B Coffee (26th & Boston)
YOU ARE INVITED! On Saturday, September 10 at 5:00 PM in the back room of J&B Coffee (26th & Boston), the Texas Tech University Vernacular Music Center (http://ttuvmc.org ) hosts an open organizing meeting, potluck, and jam session for community involvement. Musicians, singers, dancers, listeners, organizers, families, and all others interested are very welcome! Bring your instrument & your dancin’ shoes!
The TTU Vernacular Music Center, celebrating its 10th year in Fall 2011, is a center for research, teaching, and advocacy in the world’s vernacular musics—those musics that are learned, taught, and passed on by ear and in the memory. In the 10 years since its foundation, the VMC has sponsored and partnered in hundreds of events across the TTU campus and around the region--concerts, workshops, guest lectures, dances—with a wide range of collaborating individuals and organizations.
At this open meeting, VMC organizers, staff, students, and ensemble representatives will be present to talk about what they do, to share information about the great events calendar planned for 2011-12, to announce several new initiatives, and to invite the community’s questions and suggestions. Participating will be: the directors of the TTU Early Music Ensemble (http://ttuearlymusic.org ), Tzumba! World Music Ensemble (http://on.fb.me/fHuMGg ), Ragtime Ensemble (contact mark.morton@ttu.edu ) and the Celtic Ensemble ( http://ttucelticensemble.com/ ), as well as representatives from the Tech Irish Set-Dancers (http://techsetdancers.com ), Caprock Morris border morris dance team ( http://caprockmorris.com/ ), and the Caprock English Country Dancers (http://englishcountrydancers.com/)
The 2011-12 calendar includes very exciting and engaging concerts, guest artists, and special events, including shows by all the participating ensembles, classes offered by the dance groups, guest lectures and participatory workshops by leading music and dance teachers from around the world, as well as October’s “Pirate Costume Ball,” December’s Caprock Celtic Christmas, and April’s “Dancing with Mr Darcy: A Jane Austen Evening with the Vernacular Music Center.”
This open meeting on September 10th is an outreach and brainstorming session, during which we hope to generate new and exciting ideas. We invite participation by all members of the community in the VMC’s wide slate of activities, and we look forward to sharing ideas and enthusiasm between and across the campus, the community, and the region. In addition, we announce the launch of the VMC’s 501(c)3 sister organization, the Roots Music Institute (http://www.rootsmusicinstitute.com) . We hope that you will join us!

The residents of the 3200 Block of 21st Street hosted a block party on Saturday night. Thanks to Denise Pope and Nichole Martens for stringing this event together and special thanks to Tech Terrace's own Ted Liggett for the outstanding pulled pork sandwiches- I had two.
