Have you found yourself thumbing through your zine library in search of new Asian American voices among the little paper creations? You’re in luck, girly: Local zine curators and general good-taste aficionados Spend Time collab once more with music/wine/acai-bowl spot Community Garden for an all-Asian lineup of artists. That means all-Asian zines available, too, along with portraits done by artist lian.soy – who makes just the cutest egg lighters on Earth – stand-up from Yola Lu, music by Honey Son, live readings by Sandy Lam and Stephanie Yue Duhem, and munchables via Andrew’s Tiny Bakehouse. Plus: a DJ set by stargirl. – James Scott

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

This program from the city of Austin, run by Farmshare Austin, has opened new market locations. There are now six weekly markets around town that sell Texas-grown produce, eggs, honey, and other groceries all at reduced prices. Most major cards are accepted at these markets and if you are a SNAP customer, you can also use your Lone Star card and Double Up Food Bucks. Locations and schedules are subject to change, so check the current info online to find one near you.

Organized types will have fun volunteering to help Austin Creative Reuse sort through donated items, roll fabric, and detangle yarn. Registration required.
