LOCAL EVENTS
There is an upcoming music festival that’s not only free but open to any musician that wants to participate. Cookie Fest will occur at 6 p.m. on April 5 at Ragnar’s, located at 6900 Ranch Road 12. The theme is 90s grunge, if one feels so inclined to dress up (or down depending on one’s normal level of spiff). There will be a t-shirt giveaway and free gumbo, but most importantly, approximately 20 performers.
“If anybody really wants to play, they’re getting on,” said Cookie Lone Star, Cookie Fest creator. “I’m not saying no to anybody.” Lone Star is a musician who’s originally from California. He used to go by Cookie Cutter Killer when he performed there, but decided to hang up his hat on his music career. When moving to San Marcos, he noticed how welcoming the music scene was and decided to dip his toes back into the scene, only to find himself completely immersed in it with a new stage name — Cookie Lone Star.
