Cee Lo Green Brings out Nakia for ACL

Special guest Nakia was brought out on stage to sing Cee Lo Green's most popular song. Saturday's well attended ACL event looked like a hit and Nakia’s great vocal talent was a great addition to the stage.

Nakia was also written up in the Chronicle this month. If you missed the issue you can read it here.

We are excited to have Nakia play at OctoTea 16. If you haven't purchased your ticket you can click here and purchase.

Come walk with the Octopus Club in the Austin Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade, Saturday

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY TO YOUR OCTOPUS CLUB FRIENDS, TWEET, and FACEBOOK.

Come on down to the Austin Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade and walk with your fellow Octopus Club members.  We will be led by our new Octopus Club banner and a convertible donated by Five Star Auto Group and we will have plenty of our brand new royal blue Octopus Club Tshirts. 

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY TO YOUR OCTOPUS CLUB FRIENDS
Please meet at the staging area at Auditorium Shores at 9:30 on Saturday.  The parade will start at 10:15. 
Please bring any tchotchkes you have left over from any parties to throw out to the crowd, and feel free to wear old t-shirts from previous Octopus Club events. 
As mentioned, we will also have the new Octopus club Tshirts available for a $15 contribution to the Paul Kirby Fund (of course).  The Tshirts are already paid for, so every penny of your $15 will go to help a neighbor living with HIV/AIDS when they face a financial emergency.
