Too knackered to cook? We know how you feel. A new local website aims to help those of us with little time to spend in the kitchen by listing all of the restaurants that'll deliver to your zipcode. To date, WhoDelivers.com contains over 250 different menus--a decent start, despite the fact that this includes not-real-restaurants like "Zone Diet At Home." And while it's not nearly as comprehensive or visually appealing as Foodhawk.com, the simple,......

Welcome to the Halloween edition of This Week in Theatre, and the first time since we’ve been in Austin that some company hasn’t produced a play about mystical and spooky stuff to commemorate this festive occasion. So, in lieu of seeing a “horror” play this weekend—an event where busty blondes disappear for no reason, only to return later after a highly unfortunate series of events has stripped them down to their underwear; or, you......

In spite of a rave review in the Austin Chronicle, we neglected to see last year's multi-nominated production, At Home With Dick. T'was a shame, so we were pleased to learn we'd get the chance to experience the Dick Price phenomenon after all. The boys at Rubber Repertory have once again palled up with Austin's master of the whippy-quick ditty to deliver an all-new musical treat to eager audiences. In case you missed the......

Dick. Price. The man featured regularly featured on Dr. Demento's radio show, the man who used to release new, weird-ass songs every day, free to all by calling his personal voicemail (he's since upgraded to posting them on the internet) -- this man, this great man, has teamed up with local underground theatre mayhem-makers, Rubber Repertory, and written a musical. Again. Last year's smash hit success At Home With Dick was nothing short of......

As usual, if there's a show you think is notable that we've forgotten, drop it in......

Austinite Sara Fuchs writes in about "At Home With Dick," a musical tour through the apartment of Dick Price, a novelty songwriter: Dick Price is decidedly non-creepy.
