The community of Marfa gathered at El Cosmico on the evening of Saturday, June 8, 2013, in honor of Tigie Lancaster, who died in April 2012. There was food, drink, music by the Mules of Presidio County, the Dry Creek Diggers, Rosh Cashiola, and others. People exchanged stories about Tigie and displayed mementos to commemorate her life.
Tigie passed away a year ago, and during her time in Marfa, she became known for her love for animals, disdain for cilantro and cucumbers, sharp tongue, and curmudgeonly but endearing mannerisms.
On this special edition of Talk at Ten, Marfa Public Radio collected memories from the even that show why Marfa misses this special woman.
