Meet the Real Babe Ruthless

As fits a film about Austin's other favorite sport, there's been a lot of derby love for Whip It. Tonight there's an opportunity to meet the real Babe Ruthless at the Alamo Ritz, and Wednesday night the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls will be ready for their close up.

A Strange Arrangement

“I’ve been singing soul music for, like, 10 or 11 months. It’s very, very new to me but I’m getting the hang of it now and starting to find the groove.”

Given Austin’s aspirations to market itself as a “Clean Energy Capital” for economic development, it would do well to closely study and follow the related example of Denmark. This morning Finn Mortensen, executive director of Climate Consortium Denmark, told us how and why the public-private “cleantech” consortium was organized.

ACL Day 3: Rodeo Day

Three days, two ruined pairs of shoes, two boxes of film, hours of back pain, and a load of muddy laundry later: worth it. Sunday, mud covered every square inch of Zilker Park. The entire festival smelled like a rodeo even as festival staff spread hay to make it manageable, but no such luck. This was the last day for my shoes. I headed to Black Joe Lewis.

ACL Fest Day 3: Mud, Sweat, and Beers

At the close of my fourth decade of outdoor festivals, I don’t mind confessing that at my first festival – the Buffalo Party in Washington, July 1970, I went topless like all the hippie girls. This year I have sore knees.

If It's Not a Dust Storm, It's a Swamp

ACL DAY 2 started with Mutemath. With a new CD and a single on Twilight (embarrassing, but don't forget Thom Yorke and Ben Gibbard are on the next Twilight soundtrack), buzz about the New Orleans rockers is bigger than ever, playing an energetic and highly enjoyable set. Besides, it’s hard to be bad when your lead singer plays keytar.
