Austin Restaurant Weeks
Say, citizen, what's annual and tasty AF and supports our local communities? For one thing, this two-week-long dining extravaganza that features specially priced lunches, dinners, cocktails, and beers at restaurants and bars throughout the Austin area – with a portion of every meal donated to the Central Texas Food Bank. And when we say "restaurants and bars throughout the Austin area," we mean the likes of Barley Swine, Easy Tiger, Hillside Farmacy, Lucky Robot, L'oca d'oro, Austin Taco Project, the Driskill Grill, and so many more. See right here for details. Hey, thanks, Tito's Handmade Vodka!Through Sept. 3 -

Davis Gallery: Reflector
This is something to see, all right, as the gallery walls are filled with work by artists tasked with capturing either their whole self or an aspect of self. And most of the artists have depicted themselves via abstractions and symbolic representations. Note that Randall Reid, Jan Heaton, John Sager, Chun Hui Pak, and Caprice Pierucci are only some of the artists represented in this group show, and we reckon you'll be right there with us, viewing the array of wonders on display.Through Sept. 8 -

Lucy Bellwood: 100 Demon Dialogues
Huzzah! Bellwood's book of cartoons speaks back to that bothersome inner voice, that nattering nabob of negativism that tries to keep a good artist down. You know that voice, right? And you know that the little demon doesn't need to STFU, really, because maybe it's an important part of you that just needs a little, oh, re-direction every now and then? To cool its discouraging jets? This delightful little book, presented by the author tonight, will show you how it's done. Recommended!Mon., Aug. 20, 7pm -

Poncé, Mountebank, King Warbler
“It’s pronounced “p a w n – s a y,” states the duo’s Facebook, “twinzies rockin’ since the womb.” Originally from Indiana, Carson and Michael Poncé moved to Nashville, where last year’s debut EP Afterglow originated Britpop synth bounce in service of a subtle Eighties/Nineties retro rock timelessness. Stated influences Rick Springfield and Tom Petty are readily apparent in “Elevator” and “Moving to Los Angeles,” respectively.Mon., Aug. 20, 8pm -
