Because we all love free drinks…
Taking a cue from every self-respecting college student who’s ever made the conscious decision to nap through Friday classes, I’ve got to tell you, the weekend really does start on Thursday. The last couple Thursdays in Austin have been off the chain, and this Thursday should be no different.
First off, Trae, the latest rapper about to burst out of H-town in a very big way, is performing at Bongo’s down by campus. I don’t have a whole lot of details on this one, but the man, best known for his ubiquitous single “Swang,” is definitely on some next tip. Seriously. Based on street buzz alone, I’m guessing he’ll pull quite a crowd.
Meanwhile, over on Red River, the nice folks from the hip Jewish rag Heeb, are passing through town on their way to host the Second Heeb Film Festival in Houston this weekend. They’ve kindly decided to drop by the Beauty Bar and throw a party in Austin featuring DJ Tats to kickoff the event. And, in a brilliant ploy to win the undying affection of low-budget hipsters from all sects of our city, they’re not just screening films. They’ll also be serving up Tito’s Vodka drinks. Best part? You guessed it, the whole thing is free! Party starts at 9 p.m.
