While there’s an official event called Summer Sweat, I figured it was a most apropos title for the events I am about to post for you: hanging out outdoors in the fine city of Austin, under the blazing sun of our first above-90-degree weekend. Hello, summer!
First, the Farmer’s Market
From Austin Farm to Table: Gourmet Magazine will be at the Downtown Austin Farmers Market (4th & Guadalupe) from 9am-1 pm with their Green Market Tour. Chef Jesse Griffiths of Dai Due will be doing demonstrations starting at 10 am and there will be lots of giveaways (yea, free stuff!).
Saturday’s Summer Sweat Event:
Knuckle Rumbler , The Loyalty Firm, and Do512.com have teamed up for the first Summer Sweat. 4 diverse acts at The Do512.com Compound from 6 – 10 pm. Presented by Champion Scion with strong support from Lone Star, Sweet Leaf Tea, Peche and Tito’s, the free event features The Boxing Lesson, The Steps, and ZEALE with DJ Orion manning the ones and twos. Complimentary drinks & on-site custom tee printing. RSVP at Do512.com.
SoLa SwimSuit Event
3-6pm. Food, drinks, and hot new swimwear styles–perfect for that sweat! The store also happens to be on the way to the do512 Compound if you’re coming from downtown/north… www.solastyle.com
Eastside Crawfish Boil
I sort of don’t get it, this Eastside Crawfish Boil, and I sort of do. A giant crawfish boil on the East Side in someone’s yard. Check. Starts at noon. Does it cost money? Charity donations? There’s a homebrew competition and 600 lbs of crawfish and 15 kegs and shuttles to the afterparty at the Mohawk, but what the hell this is or how or why I still don’t know. I read this interview about it and I’m still confused. I think you just go and believe and experience. If you do, please give me a recap.
Belmont Bugs and Beer
SUNDAY at Key Bar
Free crawfish, along with drink specials from 4-close.
