Maybe this’ll sound sacrilegious, but this year’s Summer Events Calendar is a devilishly good one. That’s right, Chronicle reader: We’ve listed all kinds of summer events from musicals to burger competitions, all under our hot ol’ Texas sun, so you can secure a super sweet next four months. May, June, July, and August in Austin promises to be one hell of a summer! A word to the wise, however: Budget cuts, weather forecasts, and acts of God – or Satan – may affect these dates, so make sure to double check the event details before attending. – James Scott
