This Memorial Day holiday, we dusted off the Austinist company van for our annual trip down to the Kerrville Folk Festival for a beer-drenched, music-filled, puddle-hopping four-day weekend just two hours outside of Austin. Situated within the meadows and hills of the Quiet Valley Ranch, the folk festival—which started in 1972 as a gathering of a few friends/musicians who decided to camp out and play music for a few days—is now well into its......

The sun gleamed red, and under the wings of the Developers the shadows of death fell dark upon the earth. In the darkness, a few brave souls planned a gathering, tomorrow night at seven, at the Grace Church of the Nazarene, to develop a plan to fight for quality redevelopment and neighborhood input......

I'm troubled, I'm dissatisfied. I'm Irish! - Marianne Moore Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice has carried quite a weight the past four years.

Yeah, yeah, SXSW Film kicks off this weekend, so you’re all like, “Say whaa? There are regular movies in theatres? How plebeian!” But for those of you who would rather forgo the madness of that festival, here’s what Hollywood has in store: Failure to Launch The words “to Launch” in this title seem superfluous. Much like Sarah Jessica Parker’s career without Sex and the City. The Hills Have Eyes Have you SEEN the creepy......
