welcome to texas

So. Gordon B. Hinckley is coming to San Antonio in May. Now, to Mormons, he's kind of like a modern-day Moses or Abraham. Kind of a big deal for us. Actually, a huge deal. And he's coming to officially open a new temple in town. (Which, by the way, is also a huge deal.) So, the Mormon community in the area decided that it would be nice to put on a production to welcome him to Texas. A jubilee is actually what they're calling it, mainly because jubilee sounds big and impressive. And it's for the prophet, so we really wouldn't want anything less than that.

So. The 2000 youth in the greater San Antonio area are all getting together and dancing the Cotton-eyed Joe and the Boot Scootin' Boogie line dance. For the prophet. Complete with Wrangler jeans and bandanas. And, to finish it off, they're all singing The Stars at Night... Are Big and Bright. clapclapclapclap Deep In the Heart of TEXAS! (It's a good thing they don't know that there are actually ten verses to Deep in the Heart of Texas.) Only in the good old Lone Star State. And we wonder why Texans get such a bad rap. Hmmm....
