For the past 99 years, Austinites have enjoyed having The Paramount Theatre on Congress Avenue. When it first opened in 1915, it was called The Majestic Theatre. When I was a kid, The Paramount presented a lot of kid-friendly plays that my parents and elementary school took me to all the time. I had always heard […]
Frozen Dessert Is Teo’s Passport to World Champion Finals
When I heard that the Gelato World Tour was coming to Austin, I immediately penciled in time in my jam-packed schedule to attend. In true stereotypical Italian fashion, I hopped on my Vespa (Valentina) and scooted down to Republic Square to check it out. There, I found sixteen gelato artisans from around North America battling […]

The Long Center has been home to many types of events in Austin. Many of you may have visited for a live music show, play or even stand-up comedy.

Dress Up, Spell Words, Fight Illiteracy at Great Grown-up Spelling Bee
Why would grown adults dress up in costume, parade onto a stage and try to spell words? Well, we do live in Austin, but there is a greater good to consider: literacy. We live in a world where literacy is a necessity. Helping people reach this goal is why Austinites dressed up in costumes for another year […]
Diverse Film Screenings and Events Held at Marchesa Hall and Theatre
As a native Austinite, I have a lot of memories of going to the Lincoln Village Theater when I was a kid. The last movie I remember seeing in that theater’s era was Star Trek First Contact in 1997. Austin has changed in a lot of different ways since then. Within that time, the shopping […]
Whole Foods Rooftop Hosts Shakespeare at the Market Performances
Present Company Theatre’s performance of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing opened last weekend and exceeded my expectations. For those not familiar with Present Company, it’s a non-profit theater collective that makes theater fun and accessible to everyone. Instead of performing within the confines of four walls, the group brings art to “the heart of the community: the […]
Moontower Comedy Festival Is Back and Bigger Than Ever
If you haven’t noticed already, I’m a fan of stand-up comedy. Fortunately for me, I live in Austin freaking Texas where the comedy scene has been so successful that Cap City Comedy Club is consistently referred to by nationally-touring comics as one of their favorite clubs. I live in a city where the successes of […]
Black Fret Prepares to Give 100,000 Dollars to Austin Musicians
I first heard about a new non-profit called Black Fret at the beginning of 2013, when I attended their first launch party at the 29th St. Ballroom. The Black Fret team wasn’t afraid to aim big from the beginning. Their stated goal was to gain 1,300 members who each donated $1,500/year. This would allow the […]
Round Rock Express Hit Off 15th Season of Baseball
The flood of lights spotlight the pristine manicure of the outfield. The chatty man behind home plate calls out to each movement of the men standing before him, while they master their familiar navigation from one base to the next. Among the stands, the night air is busy greeting the comforting conversations of fans as […]
Mini Pony Gallops to Garage Country Sound With Psychedelia Thrown In
This guest blog article is by Joana Ortiz. If mother nature decides to make up its mind, we are nearly approaching the stinging rays of the Texas sun. When I think of summer, I think of air conditioning, the indoors, beer, live music and some more live music! I’m here to do the hard work […]
