Much better weather now ...

Weather Geek Sam Sez:
looks like a cool Thursday night but no freeze potential, warming up fairly well on Friday especially if the wind veers south, which it is expected to do sometime. The South wind will bring in some moisture but nothing bad. A few weak fronts will nick us to the north but temperatures are still High 70's and Low 60's. The front on Tuesday could be cooler than thought but certainly not like when it was 48 for a high temperature a while ago, which was dreary. Looks good to me!
So come on down. The Sons of the Beach includes a whole bunch of girls, babies, kids, grandparents, and everybody. Should be good for sand castles on the beach.
If this is as bad as it gets....

Movie filmed in the Valley to feature local musicians

Hey, we know we live in a great place crawling with uniquely talented actors and musicians - but it is great when others notice it as well. A movie (entitled "Broken Promises") is in the process of being filmed in various valley locations and will include the music of many local bands, including the Island's own "Toby Beau." Founder Balde Silva (who along with his wife and fellow band member Renetta grew up in Weslaco) and son Michael have cameo roles in the film. Last night the Rad hosted a press event that attracted a flashy, pretty crowd of people I mostly didn't know. Someone told me that the strikingly handsome goateed-guy getting his pictures taken with everyone was Anthony Quinn's son.
I was too shy to take a picture of anything but this cool guitar-shaped cake.
