In celebration of our 30th year of publication, we’re posting ongoing installments of “30 Things”: lists of 30 notable (or laughable or lamentable) takes on the Chronicle‘s coverage, culture, and commentary from the past three decades. This week, look for “30 Sites Around Austin That Were Transformed Into Stages,” Robert Faires’ nod to the city’s seemingly constant state of performance, and Audra Schroeder’s “30 Band Names,” which very much speaks for itself.

You can find it all on our website: austinchronicle.com/year30.
