In 1985 the 2nd Celebrate Austin festival took place near Austin in Manor. There was a 5th 12 Great Hours, this time in the middle of the summer.
       Phillip Bell ran the drinks crew for a Joe "King" Carrasco concert on the ranch
"(The Joe "King" Carrasco concert was) ...my first 'official' time to work on krew. My daughter had asked Tony Simmons if she could be on staff, and could her mother be on staff, too. We worked drinks.
It was HOT! There had been no rain. There was no camping, so I set my tent up in the parking lot and stayed up all night killing hundreds of piss ants."
