Ricardo Valentine has quickly become one of the principal purveyors of trap soul, following hit single “Prblms” from his 2016 debut, Free 6lack. The Atlanta native, who once languished on Flo Rida’s International Music Group label, put the R&B world on notice in September with the magnificent East Atlanta Love Letter, which crested at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

Well, yes, where else but at Austin's own celebrated Russian House would such a cavalcade of culinary marvels be offered up like a more exotic (and, we daresay, more delicious) version of Golden Corral? You know farm-to-table, citizen? How about some Uzbekistan-to-your-hungry-mouth? на здоро́вье!

Need something Austin-y (art, jewelry, prints, clothing, etc., whatnot, and then some) for a loved one this year? Thousands of original works from more than 200 artists and artisans will help you with your gifting conundrums.

That Vince Torres and his astonishing cohort of creatives have garnered more graphic goodness for those Guzu walls, with 26 artists paying tribute to shows from the small screen, with stylish renditions of characters and settings from television’s past and present. Featuring homages by Chet Phillips, Tessa Morrison, Killian Glenn, Half-Human, Nina Sanchez, and more. Where's your fandom at, baby? It's probably right here, right now.

Check out the holiday lights and get you a home-baked Bavarian treat, while local musicians play tunes on the grand piano.

Signature Program: Russian filmmaker Tarkovsky's film was the original on which the Soderbergh/Clooney remake was based. It's a visually captivating and delirious tale of outer space and the supernatural.

The cunning crew of applemongers from Texas Keeper will be at 24 Diner tonight, pouring three of their ciders and "hanging out to talk cider with anyone and everyone that is interested." Go ahead, ask about that new Cider Noir of theirs, specifically – these guys are e-x-c-i-t-e-d!

Does it return? Of course it returns – this show is more evergreen than a forest of Christmas trees. David Sedaris' outlandish tale of a (oh, shall we say disgruntled) Macy’s elf jingles to life again in this latest incarnation, with that costumed Crumpet waxing snarktastic on the talent it takes to juggle tinsel, tearful tots, and not-so-sober Santas during what's hailed as the most wonderful time of the year. J. Robert Moore – the bright star of Zach's one-man show Buyer and Cellar a couple years ago – plays Crumpet, and Nat Miller directs, so we reckon this year's holiday-skewering is doubleplusgood to go. But does our reviewer think so, too?

Stroll through a walking path featuring more than 100 holiday light displays created by businesses, organizations, school groups, and families. Roast hot dogs and marshmallows at the Yule Log, drink hot chocolate, and enjoy live entertainment most evenings. Admission is free. Donations are appreciated.

The racetrack transforms into something resembling the North Pole with the largest outdoor skating rink in Texas, the Tunnel of Lights, and Santa's Workshop; plus live music, carnival rides, a petting zoo, and Chinese Lantern Festival.
