I was very disappointed when I found out that Mr.Depp was in Austin during our annual film festival October 21, 2011. But even more so sitting in at the Continental Club, as I have not had the opportunity to here him play. I use to live just down the street from the Old Antone's night club. My other half at that time Barry "Frosty" Smith, was one of the Monday Blues Band's regular drummers. My comment is really wanting to ask the question if you have ever read the story "The Education of Little Tree", Forest Carter. It is a wonderful story and it is about a Cherokee boy. Because I have Choctaw, Cherokee, and Seminole, on my mother's side I am very proud of this. I though you may be interested in adding this to your family's story books for your children and lovely companion to read to your children. Thank you for offering a place to make comments I only wish I had know about your recent visit. May you and your Loved Ones have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with Peace, Love, and Joy. Ms. Hampton

He was given the award at the luncheon, along with Caroline Thompson, John Lasseter, and Hart Hanson. They also awarded the screenplays that won their competition (a few of which are truly great). This is all I've found on it so far, but it talks about the event and the winners: http://www.austin360.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/austinmovies/entries/2011/10/22/aff_presents_2011_awards.html
