Five Things to Do in Austin This Weekend

Well, of course there’s Netflix and/or Hulu or whatever, yes. That’s what good sitting alone – or with however many others – in your room can be.

Critics Table Tops at 25

A lot of stage productions, concerts, and art exhibitions were mounted around town between May 1, 2016, and April 30, 2017, and now, for the 25th time, members of the Austin Critics Table have settled on what was outstanding in dance, classical music, visual art, and theatre in that span and announced the nominees for the 2017 Critics Table Awards.

Five Things to Do in Austin This Weekend

No, wait, that's not true at all. Of course you can just get baked and eat breakfast tacos 24/7. But sometimes even the most dopeminded sofa tubers among us like to experience a bit more of local life, of what's actually happening in this wildly metastasizing city by the river.

Almuelle’s “The Silent Narrative of Things” Speaks Loud in the Shadows
