    Mean Girls Trivia

    Does it surprise you to learn that Mean Girls came out 20 whole years ago? Maybe that’s because the Tina Fey-penned film is so iconic it feels timeless, or maybe it’s that it was turned into a Broadway musical in 2018 that jumped onto the big screen just this year. Regardless, we’re guessing all these iterations and maybe even the 2011 made-for-TV sequel could be on the table for a free night of quiz questions presented by the titans of trivia from Get It Games. Costumes are encouraged, and may we remind you it’s spring fling season? – Kat McNevins

    Horror and Cult Movie Trivia

    Those twisted cineastes of the Skeleton Factory podcast will torture your brain with questions, questions, questions about the darkest, sickest, most depraved corners of cinema. Assemble your team of info freakos who can drop knowledge about Divine and Dario Argento to win prizes, prizes, prizes. And even if you don’t win, you can still grab dinner from Li’l Nonna’s or That Burger before satiating your outdoor gluten-free sweet tooth on the patio with a treat from Zucchini Kill. – Richard Whittaker

    Bike Month

    I’ll admit it: I don’t believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein, or Superman. All I wanna do is bicycle! Bike Month ATX promises two-wheeler fun for the whole month of May. Break out the 10-speed, the recumbent, the cruiser, and join your fellow cyclists in the last nice weather days in Austin. There’s bike polo on May 5, or an all-level ride around Walnut Creek on the 19th. Help with meal delivery on the 22nd or pedal under a full moon on the 24th. Find pretty much every kind of bike fun under the sun (and moon!) at bikemonthatx.com, because those bicycle races? They’re coming your way. – James Scott
