Art Night
Ah: To create is to live, wouldn’t you say? How about you live it up on North Loop, then, and join lefty hangout Monkeywrench for their weekly art night. Bring your own supplies, or partake of their provided creation collection – including button-making supplies, markers, and collage ephemera – if you’re a little light on materials. Whatever you do, just make something that makes you happy. That’s what this whole life is all about. – James ScottWed., May 28 -

Pop Up Library Stops
Amidst the multitudinous resources our local libraries offer in their brick-and-mortars, Austin Public Library also goes on the road! Throughout every month, APL packs up their stuff into a van and drives around town to various places. A visit to one of these mobile van pop-ups gives anyone the opportunity to sign up for a library card, check out books, put in item requests, and even return rented reads. This week’s upcoming stops include Anderson Mill Senior Activity Center (May 27, 11am), Marshalling Yard Emergency Shelter (May 28, 9am), and the Esperanza Community (May 28, 2pm). Head to library.austintexas.gov/events to see future pop-ups in your area. – James ScottMay 27-28Multiple locations -

Yiddish Songs of Resistance with Mazel Tov Kocktail Hour
“Brothers and sisters in work and in need/ all who are scattered far and wide.” So goes “The Oath,” the official anthem of the General Jewish Labour Bund, one of the first groups to truly recognize the menace of the rising Nazi party and Stalinist authoritarianism. In prewar Europe, Yiddish quickly became the language of resistance, and Austin’s preeminent Klezmer revivalists Mazel Tov Kocktail Hour celebrate that tradition with a night of songs to reinvigorate the spirit of defiance. Now, sing along: “Brider un shvester fun arbet un noyt, Ale vos zaynen tsezeyt un tseshpreyt!” – Richard WhittakerWed., May 28

Trivia 512
We really have no shortage of trivia events in this town full of smarties, but what grabbed my attention with this one was the quality of the prizes. First place gets $125 to spend at happenin’ host venue Radio, plus $15 to whiskey distillery Still Austin, and second place wins $75 at Radio and $15 at Still. Third place is even a good prize: a bag of high-quality Radio coffee beans and a koozie. So dust off the ol’ brain, grab some buds, and head over to Radio on Wednesdays to give it a go. Fuel up beforehand with a 5-7 happy hour and discounted burgers, fries, and chicken sandwiches from Shortwave. – Kat McNevinsWednesdays
