Either this didn't happen, or it fizzled out by around 2:00. That entire area back behind Cafe Brazil where this was supposed to be was as desolate & empty as ever. Any idea whether this actually happened or not?...or if we were just looking in the wrong place?

FYI...got this message from the contact email on their website:
"Yes, we were there. We had a small group and with the weather being unpredictable; we shut down early. Sorry about any inconveniences.
We will be there on May 18th"
...I don't recall bad weather on Sunday, but oh well. Hopefully this turns out a little better in May, it sounded interesting.

James, I called their number after you posted your original comment and left a message asking what had happened. They never called back; you get the sense that maybe they aren't real organized.

I think you can officially call this a bust - nothing out there again today (Sunday), and now their website is down.

Not listed on the Deep Ellum site any longer either. Calling it dead until someone proves otherwise.
