Hey Bling Bling Flingers!
Get that fuzzy, fancy, Blingy feeling a couple days early this year. Here’s two wonderful ways to promote the Bling Bling Fling masquerade gala (Oct. 24 at Artpace), the primary fundraiser for the Martinez Street Women’s Center:
1) Blare the KENS5 Great Day SA morning show at your home/office on Thurs. Oct. 22. We’re not sure exactly what time, but there will be about 5 minutes of awesomeness from 9-10 a.m., courtesy of the Current’s Sarah Fisch, Kiss FM’s Quinn and the hot hoopers. Invite whoever you know that has $25 to burn to a coffee break and watch it.
2) Come be in the audience with us for this very special Great Day SA appearance. We want a lot of happy, smiling masked faces hooting and hollering whenever the camera pans to the audience. This way, people at home will think, ‘if they’re having this much fun on a Thursday morning, Saturday night will be amazing!’
Let us know if you can be in the audience. We’d love to see you there. Location: 5400 Fredericksburg Road.

Saturday, October 03, 2009 1:00 PM – 2:20 PM CDT (End Time Estimated)
San Antonio Flash Mob Organization will be Hosting its first Event on Saturday, Oct. 3rd, 2009. We are calling it BABY SWAP -
Show up at the Briefing Point, Maverick Park on Broadway, at 1pm. We will have a short discussion of the process and will depart from the Briefing Point at 1:15pm.
You will be given one hour to arrive at the Event Area (hint: it’s somewhere downtown)
At 2:15 we will Began swapping Baby Dolls in a public place. the event will only last a few minutes. afterwards you will disperse as if nothing happened. The event will be filmed. We will be meeting back up at Sam’s Burger Joint after the event.
We advise you to buy a CHEAP baby doll from a discount store (Because you might not get the same one back)
We’re trying to maintain the loose illusion that the baby dolls are real babies, so if you can borrow or otherwise attain a stroller, by all means bring it. If not, that’s okay, too. Try to make the Baby Doll as believable as possible. And dress inconspicuously, as if you were a normal, average parent.
If you are not familiar with a Flash Mob, check out Improv Everywhere on YouTube.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING A REAL BABY TO THE EVENT!
(I can Not stress this enough.)

Created and organized by the Contemporary Art and Literature Organization (CALO) and sponsored by District 5 Councilwoman Lourdes Galvan, “Una Noche de La Gloria” is an arts exposition and community building activity. La Gloria was created to advance cultural adjustment and growth and promote the undercurrent markets of the arts and culture in San Antonio’s Xicano and Latino communities. While the main focus of CALO is to promote creative individuals, La Gloria will showcase “senior citizen” master artists and give aspiring artists a chance to participate amongst their peers, thereby bridging the generation gap and pro-actively passing down values that have sustained local artist for generations.
We believe the best way to support creative individuals is to build bridges between our City’s artists, its citizens and visitors enabling commerce through the arts while fostering a healthy and prosperous creative economy that strengthens an authentic San Antonio artistic and cultural community.
Join us this fall for the unforgettable “Una Noche de La Gloria – Contemporary Art in the Cultural Zone” in “el mero gueso” – the Westside of San Antonio.
