    CapTex Triathlon

    If a lazy Memorial Day spent grilling and boozing isn’t your speed, turn up the heat for Austin’s only Downtown triathlon. Rookies and seasoned athletes alike are welcome to progress from a swim in Lady Bird Lake, to a cycle down Congress Avenue, then finally a dash through Butler Park to the post-race party at Auditorium Shores.

    Kerrville Folk Festival

    Since 1972, there’s only been one fest with the length (18 days!), the talent (Dale Watson! Fruition! Carsie Blanton!), and the craft-building (songwriting, guitar, and harmonica workshops all fest!) to bring everyone out into nature like Kerrville Folk Fest.

    MLP Austin Tournament

    No sour faces here, as Major League Pickleball will be played at the highest level during Austin’s third-ever tournament. Over the four-day event, teams from across the U.S. will pair off to determine who will win a spot in the MLP Playoffs this August. Interested pickle persons have three ticket options, with a grounds pass getting you access to all amateur matches and courtside passes opening you up to the grandstand and championship courts. Dedicated enjoyers of the sport can opt for the third VIP tier, which kicks in chair seating, free food and drinks, and a special lounge. – James Scott

    Ran (1985)

    In the last 30 years, The Austin Chronicle has only given two films a five-star rating: The 1997 re-release of Fritz Lang’s German Expressionist masterpiece M, and the 2000 re-release of Akira Kurosawa’s bushido King Lear adaptation, Ran. What does five stars mean around here? That a movie is as perfect as a film can be. That’s Ran, now remastered in 4K. – Richard Whittaker

    Valley Girl (1983)

    Way back in 1983, Nicolas Cage had only one prior film credit in Fast Times at Ridgemont High – as Nicolas Coppola. A bold statement by AFS Cinema, then, that by his first starring role he “had achieved his final form already.” His Cage-ness is undeniable in this engaging Romeo & Juliet tale of a city punk enamored with a Valley girl (Deborah Foreman of Real Genius, April Fool’s Day), but was his final form really achieved four decades ago? See if you agree. – Kat McNevins

    Written on the Wind (1956)

    If you’re predisposed to thinking a film from 1956 must be all kinds of buttoned-up, then you haven’t met Douglas Sirk, arguably Hollywood’s greatest melodramatist. The Texas-set Written on the Wind brings Real Housewives-levels of dysfunction to its tale of an alcoholic oil scion (Robert Stack) and his slutty sister (Dorothy Malone), who’s in love with his best friend (Rock Hudson, Sirk’s most defining leading man), who’s in love with his wife (Lauren Bacall). That they’re all heading for tragedy is preordained; it’s the getting there that’s the good stuff – Kimberley Jones
