    Mending Circle

    I look up “mending” on Google, and the first websites that pop up are the Minecraft Wiki and Dungeons & Dragons’ Fandom site. But mending is no fantastical concept used only in building simulators or tabletop role-playing. In truth, one of the best sustainable practices a conscientious citizen can pick up is the ability to repair their clothes. Austin Public Library holds a meet-up for all those making sure their wearables don’t become garbage-pile material, with beginners and experts both welcome. “Bring your favorite garments that need some tender loving care,” says APL, “and our friendly community of fellow menders will be there to offer guidance and support.” – James Scott

      Pup Crawl ATX

      Some people call Austin the Live Music Capital, and others call it the blueberry in Texas tomato soup. But Austin’s real claim is being Dog City, where everyone and everywhere’s got a pup running around. Closing out their monthlong fundraising tour is the Austin Dog Park & Bar Alliance with the second annual Pup Crawl. For $39, you get a Pup Pass – which nets you and your pooch entry and a drink at each participating park. Full disclosure, the Chronicle will be popping up this Sunday at the Watering Bowl to participate in the paw-some event. Sunday is also the last day that Central Texas Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will be on-site, so come wolf down a few pints while helping support a good cause. – James Scott

      Special Screenings

      The Keep (1983)

      There’s an urban legend in film buff circles that, a few years ago, during a major retrospective of the films of Michael Mann, the great director turned up to tech check every movie from 1981’s Thief to 2015’s Blackhat. Every film, that is, except for one: 1983’s The Keep, his sophomore effort and his bitterest disappointment. Hampered by the death of visual effects supervisor Wally Veevers and then butchered by Paramount executives, it’s a fraction of the film that Mann envisioned. But that fraction is still a strange, dark monument: a horror that contends with the idea of picking the lesser evil as a German Wehrmacht Unit in occupied Romania finds itself caught between SS fanatics and an ancient spirit trapped within a castle’s stone walls. Those themes are given real depth by a heavy-hitter cast including Scott Glenn, Jürgen Prochnow, Gabriel Byrne, and Ian McKellen. Rarely screened for the last four decades (outside of one memorable 35mm showing at the Alamo Drafthouse over a decade ago), now Mann’s flawed masterpiece returns in 4K courtesy of Vinegar Syndrome. – Richard Whittaker
