  Last night I went to a viewing of "Art from the Streets", a documentary which follows the lives of five homeless Austin people who participate in an annual art show here at ARCH - Austin Resource Center for the Homeless. My stepdaughter Eya  volunteers there. These people were brave beyond imagining; one woman showed her "camp' in the beginning of the film - midway through, vandals had come through and completely destroyed it. Another woman, Pat Bailey lived in her Buick; her work is quite good-I will probably buy a piece in the upcoming show. Prominently featured in the film is Christie Pate (aka Don Taylors girlfriend),  who is the artistic director.  I expected this film to be good because it has won all sorts of awards; I did not expect to be a weeping mess at the end of it. I was touched more than I can express.
   
  Already got Dian to say she would buy the DVD's for the stores.
