    Dining In the Dark

    Here's a unique, 90-minute culinary experience designed to rely on senses other than sight, where all the guests will be blindfolded while they eat.There, in the velvet darkness of the blackest night, safely ensconced within the modern elegance of the W Hotel in Downtown Austin, you'll partake of mouthwatering cuisine from your choice among three menus: Green (vegan), Blue (pescatarian), or Red (a carnivore's delight).What will you be eating this night, adventurous citizen? A Mexican-inflected starter that recalls the occasional dining splurges of your college days? A main course redolent of masterful meatery, or pescatarian power, or gastronomic tropes of vegan creativity, and each with compelling accompaniments? Your host will guide you through the three courses, inviting your blindfolded guesses between bites and drinks, all the way to the sweet finale of dessert.The panoply of flavors here, the diversity of textures, the gradients of temperature – all these unseen aspects of dining will come to the fore in a curated experience that's unlike any other, presented by the event wizards of Fever Originals.
    Fri., April 15 & 22, seatings at 6 & 8:30pm. $80.

    Comedy

    Moontower Comedy Festival

    If the proverbial 800-pound gorilla were weaponized, this would be its manifestation as living embodiment of the nation's comedy-industrial complex – now smack in the center of your own Downtown. Reigning supreme in the scene with more laughter than the King in Yellow has lack of masks, this annual conflagration brings the biggest and best names from all over, adds a happy helping of equally wise locals, and sets 'em onstage all over town (with the venerable Paramount as the epicenter) for your giggling diversion from humanity's headlong plummet toward the grave. More than 150 comics in more than ten venues for more than ten days – and who the hell's gonna survive the afterparties with less than a Krakatoa in their morning-after skull? We've got a plethora of solid coverage for you right here, but – do check the festival website for details.
    April 13-24. $99 and up.

    Out of Ink: Unusual Embrace

    ScriptWorks' 23rd annual ten-minute play showcase features, among its wild diversity of characters, half-coyote/half-human teens, an improv troupe, a boy made of glass, and an invisible boy. This lively show reveals ScriptWorks members' interpretations of three mandatory script ingredients – a moment when a list becomes the only means to communicate; something that cannot be seen by the human eye; an unusual embrace – that provided inspiration during last fall's "Weekend Fling 48-hour Writing Retreat." The short scripts, written by Robin Anderson, Maggie Gallant, Ava Love Hanna, Andra Laine Hunter, Zac Kline, Briandaniel Oglesby, Greg Romero, and Anne Wynter, will be performed by an ensemble of actors under the direction of Lowell Bartholomee, Carl Gonzales, Ellie McBride, Christina J. Moore, and Sharon Sparlin.
    Through April 30. Thu.-Sat., 8pm. $14-16 (pay what you wish, April 21).

    Spirit Adrift, Duel, Blk Ops, Easy Prey [inside]

    Like a scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Spirit Adrift commander Nathan Garrett and his spouse crash landed in Bastrop on March 1, 2020, after fleeing Arizona and the valley fever that claimed a canine soul mate.: “Our first two years as Texans were surreal,” emailed Garrett last week. “Moving to a new area can be a strange transition even under normal circumstances, so add COVID to that equation and it’s been a bizarre and unprecedented experience. But we love it here. It’s been wonderful reconnecting with nature, the Southern hospitality, and kindness of the people down here, [plus] the endless amount of culture in and around Austin.: “This area has everything I miss about growing up in the South and then some. It really does feel like home.”: An intimate christening inside at Mohawk touches off the astral doom trio’s 25 dates in European backwaters including Glasgow, London, Paris, Oslo, Gothenburg, Eindhoven, and Berlin. Spirit Adrift‘s continental raid follows the 4/20 bulletin of summer splatter 20 Centuries Gone and teaser “Sorcerer’s Fate,” a harmonic thrasher drawing inspiration/obsession from 1977 nail-biter Sorcerer. As with the desperate truck drivers transporting nitroglycerin through a South American jungle in William Friedkin’s lysergic makeover of French indelible The Wages of Fear, the August disc handles another new original and half a dozen ensuing covers with the utmost care: Type O Negative, Pantera, Metallica, Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and ZZ Top.: “I love Astro [Record Store],” divulges Garrett of Bastrop living. “It’s the only record store I’ve ever encountered that has a crucial purchase every single time I go in there. Last time, I picked up Black Mountain’s In the Future. I played that album constantly when it came out but never owned the vinyl. I also grabbed a couple Randy Travis records, the two really good ones. That man’s voice is nothing short of a cosmically anointed gift.” – Raoul Hernandez
