Happy Birthday Willie Nelson!

Today is Willie Nelson's birthday! (mine too but that is beside the point) To celebrate we are attending two different events this evening that have nothing to do with Willie Nelson.
FIRST! We will be out at Hill's Cafe on South Congress to see KVET'S Texas Music Series featuring Brandon Rhyder with Matt Skinner. The show kicks off around 7pm and is absolutely free. We'll have three of our newest Chrontouragers out there to give out the usual goodies as well as some special prizes for a lucky few. So go out and say hi and be gentle with them.

LATER! We will be out at Emo's to check out Man Man performing with Yeasayer. Both of these bands made a huge splash at SXSW this year so their return is highly anticipated. Doors open at 9 and the show starts at 10. Visit our table in the back and tell our team what you think.

Special thanks to Eric and Rebecca, our Chrontourage photographers. They photograph most of our events trying to capture the little moments that make each event great. Say hi to them (or better yet, buy them a drink) and your picture could very well end up in the Chrontourage newsletter or in the Chronicle print edition.
To see some examples of what they have been shooting check out the Chrontourage photo page: austinchronicle.com/whatyoumissed
