Today is the 37th anniversary of the First Sunday Break in Austin, TX. It was truly a remarkable event, a one-of-a-kind mythic journey involving music, money, madness, and magic. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, please go to The First Sunday Break - May 2, 1976.
Here's a bit of footage courtesy of friend of the site Alex. You can see the dust devil on a few seconds of footage about 5 minutes in. I explain more over at the Facebook page.

wow, this sounds very cool. i would really enjoy seeing a book or documentary about it. on this date I was a senior in college doing art projects and partying my brains out in anticipation of graduating and leaving the fun behind. i heard some great music in those days but was kind of blotto... thanks for sharing!
