    Roger Myers memorial w/ Miró Quartet, Rick Rowley, John Largess, & Ruben Balboa

    UT-Austin celebrates the life and work of Roger Myers, an accomplished academic and viola virtuoso who educated at the Butler School of Music since 1993. Between on-campus time and globe-trotting tours, the Australian-born musician recorded debut album Fantasy and Farewell at Abbey Road Studios. Honoring Myers’ enduring commitment to chamber music, the free event features a first-rate lineup of the late professor’s university colleagues, including fellow violists John Largess and Ruben Balboa. Rick Rowley provides a piano masterclass, while the Miró Quartet astounds with classical string excellence. – Genevieve Wood

      Bike Month

      I’ll admit it: I don’t believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein, or Superman. All I wanna do is bicycle! Bike Month ATX promises two-wheeler fun for the whole month of May. Break out the 10-speed, the recumbent, the cruiser, and join your fellow cyclists in the last nice weather days in Austin. There’s bike polo on May 5, or an all-level ride around Walnut Creek on the 19th. Help with meal delivery on the 22nd or pedal under a full moon on the 24th. Find pretty much every kind of bike fun under the sun (and moon!) at bikemonthatx.com, because those bicycle races? They’re coming your way. – James Scott
      Mondays-Sundays. Through May 31

      Mean Girls Trivia

      Does it surprise you to learn that Mean Girls came out 20 whole years ago? Maybe that’s because the Tina Fey-penned film is so iconic it feels timeless, or maybe it’s that it was turned into a Broadway musical in 2018 that jumped onto the big screen just this year. Regardless, we’re guessing all these iterations and maybe even the 2011 made-for-TV sequel could be on the table for a free night of quiz questions presented by the titans of trivia from Get It Games. Costumes are encouraged, and may we remind you it’s spring fling season? – Kat McNevins

      Hank & Lucinda Williams Tribute Night benefiting SIMS Foundation w/ Various Artists (8:00); David Grissom (6:00)

      They share a last name and a penchant for breaking hearts, and for a night at Saxon Pub, they will unite across space and time to share a bill (sort of). A packed lineup of Austin artists gather to pay tribute to two genre stalwarts, Hank and Lucinda Williams. At the 12th “kinda” annual Williams Nite, artists will play a song from each Williams, plus one of their own. Matching source material, the lineup spans Americana influences, from the high octane sound of Shinyribs’ Kevin Russell, to blues from Carolyn Wonderland and Shelley King (performing together) and Akina Adderley, to the twangier tastes of Chris Beall and Dallas Burrow. Proceeds benefit the SIMS Foundation. – Abby Johnston

      Horror and Cult Movie Trivia

      Those twisted cineastes of the Skeleton Factory podcast will torture your brain with questions, questions, questions about the darkest, sickest, most depraved corners of cinema. Assemble your team of info freakos who can drop knowledge about Divine and Dario Argento to win prizes, prizes, prizes. And even if you don’t win, you can still grab dinner from Li’l Nonna’s or That Burger before satiating your outdoor gluten-free sweet tooth on the patio with a treat from Zucchini Kill. – Richard Whittaker
