MUSIC recommended events  Voodeux, Many Birthdays, A.M. Architect, and more get digitally enhanced. Garage a Trois, the Stanton Moore Trio, and others bring world-class jazz. He’s only visiting for the weekend, but Guy Clark could play Austin every night, and it would never get old. The singer-songwriter’s latest, Somedays the Song Writes You (Dualtone), maintains a masterful touch, shedding light on the human condition with a crooked smile and glint in the eye. Get there early to experience the down-home wit and beauty of Nashville songstress Elizabeth Cook. – Jim Caligiuri See all of today's Music listings ARTS recommended events 
DUSK: IMPROVISED TWEEN EROTICA
Gnap! Theatre Projects introduces its send-up of the ridiculously popular Twilight vampire series. Every Friday and Saturday night, the (eternally) youthful fangs 'n' angst soap opera plays out in full unscripted hilarity as you watch the brows furrow, the eyes beseech, the libidos flare, and yet, somehow, the various hymens remain as unbroken as the giant cross at the end of Hammer Studios' Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. Recommended. Through Nov. 21. Fri.-Sat., 8pm.
Salvage Vanguard Theater, 2803 Manor Rd, 474-7886.
$10.
