Another Day in Marfa

Yes, the time is upon us once again (seems like only yesterday we were all enjoying last year’s Festival). This year’s Annual Marfa Goathead Festival will take place on November 1 and 2, with the popular Goathead Parade on Friday evening, October 31 at 4:30 p.m. followed by the Goathead Street Dance. Don’t miss it!

Come to the Courthouse this weekend for all the fun and activities, arts and crafts! You can find me at booth 666 selling my popular goathead knitwear now cooler days are upon us: scarves, knit caps, gloves and socks all made from 100% natural, Marfa goathead. And this year I also will be introducing the goathead thong…only for the adventurous! The Food Shark will be offering their tasty goathead seed pie.

How to Harvest Goatheads
Put on a pair of soft rubber soled shoes and step outside. It’s that easy! Within minutes you’ll be enjoying handfuls of goatheads to use in your crafts and cooking.

Goathead Gift Certificates
This year you may purchase Goathead Gift Certificates redeemable at any Dollar General store in West Texas, including these fine products:

Ladies Tool Kit

Wet Ones: Cleaner and fresher than dry toilet paper alone

Wow…this is so cool:

Thanks for turning me onto this, Canton.

Another Chinati weekend is now passed. The visitors have left and, once again, it’s quiet here in Marfa.

Compared with last year’s open house, this weekend was blessedly not a circus: the puberty patrol was abated (no free Sonic Youth concert) nor did we see parasitic galleries sprouting in every available empty space to sell dubious wares.

is to sit in my backyard with Zack and look at the sky. Why wasn’t I born to a wealthy family?
