Musical Gypsy Wagon

With the help from many of the musician/carpenters in the Arboles, CO area Denny has made these portable and self-contained musical stages modeled after old Gypsy Wagons.  They're beautifully done in custom woodwork and stained glass.  There are more photos and specs here.

We're aiming to be done with our travels and back in Austin for SXSW next March.  It'd be wonderful to connect with someone who organizes some of the musical showcases during the festival...concerts pop up in the most random places around town (mostly in vacant lots) and instead of rigging up a stage for a couple days, it'd be way easier to just set this guy up.  If anyone has any idea who we should get in touch with, please do pass it along.
For the 2nd Sunday Jam Session that Melody and Denny host on their property each month, they whipped out the gypsy wagon and built a dance floor in front.  It really seems like musician/carpenter is the profession of choice out here in southern Colorado; like Conner, or Denny, or the bassist behind Dan, although I never did catch his name.
