Say, that is a nice Earth you have there. How about you celebrate this fantastic planet with the largest sustainability event in Central Texas? Featuring Austin-area and beyond businesses showcasing their sustainable and eco-conscious practices; activities and exhibitions about environmental issues; an instrument petting zoo; vegan and vegetarian food; and panels discussing ways Austin can bolster our eco-goals. Why, after all that, you’ll give Captain Planet a run for his money. – James Scott
Who’s ready for a bedtime story? Because there’s nothing like Stephen Sondheim’s grand unification theory of the Brothers Grimm’s collection of German fairy tales. All your childhood folklore favorites become tangled up in the search for the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold. Underneath the toe-tappers and cunning one-liners, there’s a fable about the perils of getting what you wished for and not paying attention to what you have, a moral reiterated by a witch who’s not good, not nice; just right. – Richard Whittaker
