Round Rock Express Opening Day
Bats will be cracking and Cracker Jacks will be crunched because baby, it’s minor league baseball time once again in Round Rock. Though this writer knows pretty much nothing about baseball, he does consider the all-American pastime of just chilling out with friends and family while watching a sport to be divine. According to the Express’ website, this opener is against their “in-state foe,” the Sugar Land Space Cowboys. After the good ol’ players of Round Rock beat ’em in the grand ball ’n’ bat field, perhaps these Space Cowboys will consider a career change: a joker? A smoker? Maybe even … a midnight toker? – James ScottFri., March 29 -

Justin Bieber Night
Is it too early to feel nostalgia for Justin Bieber? If it is, I and other Austinite Beliebers don’t care. Though the teen and his iconic swooping bowl cut rose to fame in 2010s, Club 90s is hosting a night full of Bieber fever at Emo’s Austin. Whether you’ve been a fan since “Baby” or prefer his Kid LAROI collab “Stay,” the L.A.-based traveling dance party group promises a night to fulfill the fangirl within. At the same time, Beliebers across North America will be partying in Memphis and Edmonton “like it’s 3012.” Don’t see yourself spending Friday night with the Biebs? Never say never. – Madeline DuncanFri., March 29 -

Neill-Cochran Easter
Remember making dioramas for school? Well, here’s your chance to experience a dye-o-rama. One of the city’s oldest residences, Neill-Cochran near the UT campus opens up its grand and glorious lawn for Easter festivities including live music, games, a scavenger hunt, and egg-dyeing, with supplies and volunteer assistance provided (though you’re free to bring your own eggs as well). Not only that, they’re opening the museum for free tours all day, so you can peruse the displays and visit the historic house and slave quarters. – Kat McNevinsFri., March 29 -
