Political Party

Ha! Get it? Ha, it's a party and it's, yeah ok. VOTE THIS SATURDAY and then wait out the election results with a few hundred of your closest friends here:
If you don't know where your precinct is, this is a good resource. Also, a smart urban core development plan doesn't mean just building more hulking, empty condos nobody wants to buy. Lee Leffingwell knows this. He also runs alot. And raps

Vote smart, but most importantly, vote. Apathy is counterproductive. Not voting doesn't send a message. For all they know/care, you're just being lazy, not making a protest

SHEENA, ARE YOU READY?

As if you need another place to go tonight. Duh, of course you do. This totally slipped my mind yesterday. I had the flier downloaded and everything. Now it has an honored position at the very top of the post. Good things come to those who wait, I guess. Is excellent musical happenings for you to make enjoyment

I still haven't found anything new for Friday (see Thursday's post), so if you've got anything, shoot it my way. Saturday is whole different story though. First of all, find out who your real friends are as the UT School of Design and UT RTF's senior classes face off in THE artsy fartsy showdown of the year
Projections begin at sunset. They're integrating the existing architecture of the plaza into the process. I've seen things like this before, and it's generally a cool concept that's coming into vogue right now. It'll be interesting to see this technique applied to a familiar context. I can't imagine this will disappoint. Runs til midnight, too
And the opening reception for design show is happening the Creative Research Laboratory from 6-9. You can view some of the projects online (here). If you have a larger flier of this, please hand it over

This is definitely a highlight of the KVRX social calendar. This year, they're giving you a 1 USD price break if you come as a couple. Always looking out for us in times of need, those kids. Undersea costumes and formal wear combinations encouraged

$2 lonestars! That's a steal for a weekend party at Creekside. About 80 million DJs, too. That is not an official number

I bet you'd thought Id forgotten this, but no, I was just saving it. This promises to be an excellent show. I caught Glass Candy last year and wow, they were great. Every complaint I had about the band was thrown out the window by their live show. You take that, add the boys at Learning Secrets, and throw in some USDA Grade A Fancy photography by our friends at the PEEN SCENE, and you have a real winner here

If you can afford it, do it. One of the best live acts in rap/hip-hop/whatever you want to call what these magical people do. They won an Oscar. Enough said.

This is shaping up to be an epic weekend before finals kick back in. On a personal note, today is my last day ever of real live college classes. Has it sunk in yet? Not even a little. A happy birthday to Llano, as well!

VEEKEND VOOVOO VISIT LIST

Some pretty fun things to do this weekend, mostly of the live punk(ish) music persuasion.
I'm be looking to expand event coverage in the future, so IF YOU WANT ME TO POST A FLYER, hit me up anytime: <<

FRIDAY 4/3

A Benefit for Anna Ives with the Crack Pipes, Hex Dispensers, Strange Boys, Teeners, Stuffies, and Red River Coke Machine! Might want to show up early for this one. I will not be attending, because I work late tonight, but it sounds like a good way to spend your night.

For fans of things loud, fast, and dirty: Broken Neck presents a NIGHT OF GRIND.

SATURDAY 4/4
don't forget to come support the Austin Yellow Bike Project, sponored by one Austin's superior bike shops, Clown Dog Bikes

For fans of things that glow: Saturday Night at The Beauty Bar. Car Stereo (Wars). Zlam Dunk. Neiliyo. Free Glow Sticks for all. Free Glow in the Dark Photos for All.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY 4/5
Ain't that poster just a chunk of feel good? BLACK PANDA, GET TO DA CHOPPA!!, SCOURGE OF THE MILLIPEDE playing for someone's birthday. The last birthday party I heard about at BEERLAND, someone got naked. No promises, though.

Wrestlemania is also this Sunday, just sayin'. Mickey Rourke will not be appearing. Single tear. More about that next week.

I'd like to take a moment to remind anyone going downtown this weekend that Texas Relay is in town, so be prepared to deal with the extra crowds. Additionally, some downtown businesses will be closing early or not opening at all. Hooray for being scared of black people, Austin. A bland Statesman article, behind the link. Anyway, in past years, this mainly affects the main drag of 6th street itself, but you might have to go on an adventure to find parking, so's be prepared
