The Nazer's Edge

Going up last in a field of 12 comics could not have been fun for Ramin Nazer, but it didn't stop him from being fun when he finally took the stage for the 27th Funniest Person in Austin contest finals – so much fun, in fact, that he finally took top honors in the annual stand-up competition.

I'm Creative, and I Vote!

Do you know which current and aspiring city officials truly get what creativity means to Austin's future and which ones just pay it lip service with a few tossed-off references to Willie, Stevie Ray, and how they want to keep Austin weird, too? You can find out Monday, April 30, at a Mayoral and Council Candidate Forum for the Creative Sector. Read More | Comment »
