    Solid Pink Disco w/ DJ Trixie, Never Dull, DJ Mateo Segade

    There’s a good chance if you’re a Trixie Mattel enjoyer, you got your tickets for this party back in February when she announced her latest spin as DJ Trixie in a YouTube GRWM vid. But not everyone keeps up with the busiest drag queen in da biz, so here’s your kind gay reminder that this weekend, the RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 3 winner takes over ACL on Willie Nelson Boulevard. She’ll be behind the decks with guest DJ Mateo Segade and getting physical with Shea Couleé and local king Alexander the Great. – James Scott

      Dance Repertory Theatre Presents Equinox

      UT’s Dance Repertory Theatre constantly explores the possibilities in movement and storytelling. Equinox keeps this up with an explosive celebration of spring’s imminent arrival. Both local choreographers and dance-denizens from farther sides of the globe have crafted works specifically to spark a sense of wonder and newness. It’s dance made, in DRT’s words, to “question our sense of self, identity and connection.” Emerge from that wintry cocoon and glory in life. – Cat McCarrey

      Bilal, Sketch.Band

      As Bilal emerged solo at the century’s turn after cutting his teeth in Philly jazz clubs and voicing the avant-garde Soulquarians, outside ears labeled his work neo-soul. But, as the pioneer has proven, even subgenres don’t suffice. Composing comfortably from left of center, the intuition-driven song vessel fuses jazz chording, hip-hop beats, and free-form vocal dexterity into his own sonic presence. His sixth full-length (and first drop in almost a decade), Adjust Brightness, reads like a reliably fresh, circular trek stacked with tangents and plot twists. Catch his Austin stop Sunday at Antone’s with local unleashed drummer-fronted project SKETCH. – Amber Williams

      Cyanotype Workshop

      Ever wanted to learn how to take a photograph without a camera? You can this Sunday morning at Golden Mean from 10am-12noon, with a cyanotype workshop taught by New Orleans-cum-Austin local Laura Rostad. Rostad has recently settled at Good Dad Studios to pursue her work in collage, photography, and installation, and plans to host more workshops there soon – just in case you take to this beginner-friendly class. Cyanotype is one of the most fulfilling ways to turn this summer’s punishing sun into something beautiful and blue, and you’re guaranteed to come away with at least two to four original pieces from this workshop. – Lina Fisher

      Ghost in the Shell (1995)

      Now that Elon Musk seems to have gotten bored with the idea of sticking chips in people’s heads and is too busy wrecking the global economy, it’s a lot easier to enjoy Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell. This 1995 anime adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s groundbreaking cyberpunk manga pits Major Motoko Kusanagi (voiced by Atsuko Tanaka) against the enigmatic Puppet Master. Stunning as the action sequences are, it’s Shirow’s meditations on the nature of being that made this story so memorable, as he asks what happens when we all become ghosts in the machine. – Richard Whittaker

      Texas MFA Showcase

      Don’t worry: As far as I know, the creative writing MFA programs at both UT-Austin and Texas State University weren’t funded by the CIA as an attempt to assert U.S. literary superiority over Soviet fiction. (Note the “as far as I know” as a preventive measure should circumstances later change!) Instead, these post-grad programs have produced talented creatives – including the Chronicle’s editor-in-chief – and Hyde Park hot-spot First Light tributes a half-dozen writers from Texas State and UT’s Michener Center for Writers at this showcase. India Annamanthadoo, Daphne DiFazio, Reena Shah, Irene Han, Joe Lozano, and Kathryn Bailey all step up to the reading plate at 6pm, so enjoy their words while sipping from FLB’s swell espresso bar. – James Scott

      The Statesman Cap10K

      As I stated to my co-workers over Zoom on Monday, despite being actively a non-runner, my ass continues to write up Austin’s many running events. I swear: We DO actually have jog-hogs on staff, but they’re just busy doing other work like, I don’t know, running our News coverage. Anyway. Brought to you by Baylor, Scott & White Health is the oldest annual race in town, which’ll be kicking off its 48th run around Downtown Austin this Sunday. There’s several categories to enter based on participant age, so babies won’t compete against geriatric joggers. To join up if you haven’t already, register at cap10k.com, or if you just wanna watch ’em sweat and strut, park yourself behind the barriers. Everyone else? Just stay home, dude. – James Scott

      Tremors (1990)

      The greatest creature feature of the 1990s returns for these belated 35th anniversary screenings – reigniting the ultimate movie bromance. As dimwitted handymen Val and Earl, Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward goof around then get serious when monstrous subterranean Graboids assault the flyspeck town of Perfection, Nevada. Idiocy was rarely so charming, especially when combined with some of the most perfect practical effects ever committed to screen. A supporting cast of hicks, survivalists, and geologists make this one of the most rib-tickling horror comedies ever. – Richard Whittaker
