It’s back! We just had the annual adult spelling bee, and now it’s time for the O.Henry Pun-Off. This hilariously creative event has become an Austin staple, and it never disappoints. Registration for the contestants is full, but the real fun is watching the event. Aside from amazingly awesome puns, they’ll live music, a used

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

The Texas Rollergirls are one of the most raved about things to do in Austin as it is a one of kind experience. This Saturday they will be taking on Portland. The main-event will take place at 7:30 p.m. where the Texas all-stars will take on Portland’s all-stars. New fans are encouraged to come to

Zombies, monsters and ghouls will be cruising all over town tonight, and you could be among them! The Ride of the Dead will feature some pre-ride food at Live Oak, a stop by Jackalope to grab a beer, and finish up at Spiderhouse Café to watch scary flicks. They’ve put together a collection of terrifying movie trailers

For those of you who have managed to avoid a spellcheck addiction, it’s time to test your skills at the Austin Chronicle’s 10th annual Adult Spelling Bee! I’m terrible at spelling, yet somehow in 4th grade I managed to luck out and win our classroom spelling bee by spelling “treadmill.” It’s pretty much been downhill since then.

Mother’s Day is around the corner, and the Second Street District wants to help you find the perfect gift! Eliza Page, Girl Next Door and Teddy’s For Bettys will be serving complimentary cocktails and food while you shop. Milk + Honey Spa also will be doing mini spa treatments, so it’s the perfect stress-free way

Austin Skeeball League’s new season is starting next Wednesday and they’re ready to get rowdy. The league is the perfect way to spice up your week, meet new people and roll some skeeballs. It’s also incredibility fun. Each week they set up a different drink special for the night, so booze will be flowing and

Radiostar is one of the best local 80’s cover bands. They’re always fun, and you can’t beat a free show. They’re very high energy, and they cover all of your favorite hits of the 80’s, everything from Van Morrison to Prince. As with any 80’s party, I can’t help but recommend dressing in costume. They’re

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.

There’s nothing like a free 80’s dance party to get the weekend started! Highball dance parties are always a blast, and when you add crimped hair, windbreakers and parachute pants, it makes you want to play your air guitar all night long. Probably the most exciting thing about tonight is getting to dig out your
