We built something that's hopefully useful! FestWiz is a new free web app for rating the 1,023+ bands coming to SXSW and keeping a schedule of all of their official and unofficial showcases. It doesn't require creating an account, downloading an app, paying $, or anything: festwiz.pages.dev
Thanks to @citycastaustin.bsky.social for having us on their November podcast to talk about some of the best Austin events coming up this month, including the TX Book Fest, Austin Studio Tour, concerts, holiday markets, and more. austin.citycast.fm/podcasts/you...
Our annual spreadsheet of Austin Halloween events is back and bigger than ever. Pet costume parades, immersive theater, horror movies in unlikely locations, dance parties, seances, pumpkin art, spooky drag & burlesque—we've got it all. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
ACL: “make sure to pack a water bottle, sunscreen, earplugs, rain gear, portable phone charger, blanket, bug spray, sunglasses, distance glasses, hat, an extra pair of socks, and a granola bar”
Also ACL: “we discourage bringing bags onto festival grounds”

Was not aware this was hole in the wall’s slogan
It would cost them nothing to send us one or two
ok what would it take to convince any one of the following chains to open an Austin location:
Maman
Tatte
Le Pain Quotidien
please we are starving (for tartines and lavender lattes)
perhaps also VeilofTime's Day?
ok this is a stretch but hear me out: Roald Dahlentines Day. We put newts in glasses of water and poison our grandmothers.
and Valet-ine's Day
Femme Fatalentine’s Day: we listen to the Velvet Underground and watch “Die Another Day”
don't forget Charles deGaullentine's Day
Sometimes I think I could leave Austin. Then other times it’s 70-something out and I’m swimming in the spring water at Deep Eddy Pool in early February. No place better. ☀️
Shaolintine’s Day. Can’t spell kung fu without u
Macau-lentine's Day: An event to celebrate the Chinese tourist destination, hosted by Macauley Culkin. Across the street at another venue, the organizers of Macaw-lentine's Day will be steaming mad their thunder was stolen while surrounded by brightly colored New World parrots
OK Corrallentine's Day: this is just a rodeo. Maybe throw in some Wild West re-enactors? Is Billy the Kid available?
Canalentine's Day: a day for celebrating manmade waterways. As we all know, it's a rough time for canals and we would like to support them in their time of need.
Pascalentine's Day: a day for making Pascal's Wagers, measuring units of pressure, triangles, + esoteric programming languages. The main event will be the Pedro Pascal lookalike contest.
With the proliferation of Galentine's Day events, we'd like to propose some alternate themes for event creators in February:

"We" = Leila and Brian, two normal people who live in Austin and like leaving the house sometimes
Every week for the past 5 years, we've put out a newsletter of artsy + oddball austin stuff to do. We scour instagram, facebook, eventbrite, posh, humanitx, withfriends, and other sources to find events to list. Now we're here to scour bluesky, too.
