This weekend is a doozy: Zilker Park officially reopens at noon today (Friday), so expect a giant crowd of volleyball-loving early-risers Saturday morning. Of course, there’s also this little festival going on called Bat Fest, so expect giant crowds of Keep-Austin-Weirders there.

Looks worth the drive, right?
Last but not least, a free workout called SLASH at lululemon Sunday morning (10am) to work off all the birthday partying you did this weekend (is it just me or is EVERYONE celebrating a birthday this weekend? I’ve got roughly 37 parties to attend …)
And you’ve been living under a rock if you didn’t know that this weekend–starting right now–is Tax Free Weekend, where clothes and other school-supply-like-items under $100 are tax free. That’s an extra 8.25% savings!
Check out c3 Outfitters event at the Crockett Center, where everything is $5 AND tax free.
