ALERT: The lineup for ACL Fest 2012 has just been released on the official ACL website.   Looks like an astounding group of artists this year, including: Red Hot Chili Peppers The Black Keys Jack

This city is full of festivals and events to celebrate wine and beer, why not rice wine? A day celebrating saké with the Texas Saké Company sounds like a pretty good Sunday Funday in my book. Texas Saké is an Austin company that uses only locally grown rice in their saké, which is cool, and they’re

This is some of the best weather we’ll have all year. It would be a crime not to spend some time enjoying it, and some Shakespeare at Zilker Hillside Theatre sounds like a perfect excuse to head outdoors. This year Austin Shakespeare is doing a Bollywood-inspired production of Twelfth Night, so it should be pretty

Movies in the park are some of the most popular events I post about. I guess something about a free movie under the Austin sky is pretty appealing, especially with this weather. Tonight’s movie is an anime film that broke box office records in Japan. Anime fans love this flick, so it should draw a fairly

The biannual Pecan Street Festival is back, and it’s the perfect way to enjoy a sunny day in downtown Austin. If you’ve never been, it’s a huge street fair, with music, art, kids activities, jewelry, giant turkey legs and all kinds of other cool stuff.

They’re

If I were a dog, I would want to live Austin. There are so many fun social events for dogs in this town! With this beautiful weather it only makes sense to be outside enjoying it with man’s best friend. This free event will have all kinds of cool stuff for your dog, like the

It’s time again for the annual party that could only happen in Austin, Texas. This year marks the 49th annual birthday celebration of the famously grumpy Winnie the Pooh character. And while we all love Eeyore, this celebration is also for a good cause, benefitting local nonprofit groups. The vibe of the festival is very 1970s.

Do you love taking pictures? Want to put your creative side to good use? The Austin Parks Foundation is seeking your help to improve their online databases. They’re looking for volunteers to go to local parks and take pictures of the views, streams, flowers, playgrounds, people enjoying the park — basically anything that showcases our fabulous

This weekend’s weather was disc golfing paradise! Disc golf is a great excuse to get outside, and this course is definitely worth checking out. It’s off Bee Caves Road, and the scenery is great. The holes are long and through thick cedar trees, so it’s pretty challenging. It was designed by one of the country’s
