I knew I shouldn't have worn shorts on Tuesday…
Danny Johnson
…because on Wednesday it was 55 degrees colder and then it got to be 60 degrees colder! Remind me to avoid tempting the Weather Channel–since it controls the weather, of course–next year. Or ever.
Anyway, we are puttering along, working on the May Convivencia concert, planning all the concerts for next season, working on grants, wrapping up the creation of our first newsletter (due out next week), and just generally not taking it easy, because All The Things Must Be Done.
And Amplify Austin Day, hosted by I Live Here I Give Here, is happening in a few days. See the details below!
Remember, even if you don’t live here, you can give here. Since TEMP is expanding its reach via videos on YouTube and other formats, you can support us from afar. Even from abroad. Or from around the corner.
More soon!

AMPLIFY TEMP!
6 PM CST MARCH 2 — 6 PM CST MARCH 3
Amplify Austin Day, hosted by I Live Here I Give Here, is Central Texas' biggest day of giving, and we are excited to participate once again! As you know, we've been thrilled to perform in person this year! We are so grateful for all that we've been able to accomplish thanks to a supportive, wonderful community. We humbly request your continued support as we continue to fulfill our important mission—to preserve and advance the art of Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and early Classical music—in new and creative ways.
Please visit our Amplify page to read more about it.
Here’s how you can help:
Your #amplifyaustin gift made anytime from now through March 3 allows us to:
employ artists who have lost most, if not all, of their work this past year;
explore novel ways to deliver high quality performances and education to an audience no longer bound to Austin's city limits;
grow and mature as an organization that is evolving with the times; and
qualifies us for a variety of matching funds, listed on our Amplify page.
Early giving is open now, and every gift matters. But making your donation during the event time frame means your donation is AMPLIFIED by a community that supports its nonprofits.
We'd like to take a moment to specifically point out the "LoveTitos" match: In honor of its 25-year anniversary, Tito’s Handmade Vodka is working with I Live Here I Give Here to spread love and goodness throughout our hometown. Just be sure to enter #LoveTitos in the public message box at check out, and Tito's will add an extra $25 to your donation! They've allotted $25,000 to this match (Three cheers for Tito's!), but it will go fast.
