EAT. STAY. SHOP. PLAY. Photo by Angi English, via Flickr. Sweetish Hill 1120 W. 6th Street 512.472.1347 PLAY Broken Spoke (photo right) Try to catch Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis or Dale Watson. They have dance lessons too— you’ll want them. Good chicken fried steak too. 3201 S. Lamar Boulevard 512.442.6189 Fusebox Ron Berry is the ED of this curated art performance festival in the spring. I highly recommend buying a pass to attend as many performances as you can—it’s an international lineup. He always has very strong group participation events, so participate!  2023 E. Cesar Chavez 512.569.6129 Fischer Dance Hall Go out to see one of Austin’s oldest dance halls. The venue is gorgeous, and if you call ahead you can bowl in their nine-pin bowling alley. And it’s a great Hill Country drive getting there.   115 Fischer Store Road Fischer, Texas 830.935.4800   East Austin Studio Tour   A locally organized tour in November. East Austin has a preponderance of artisans, artists and people living an artistic life. Try to attend the Danger Derby at Blue Genie as part of the tour. (I’m not just saying this because I won one year.) Watch the clips on YouTube—it’s quite an expression of “creative aggression.”   916 Springdale Road, Building 2, #101 512.939.6665 Talk to anyone and everyone. People are sincerely nice here and thrilled to give you advice on the coolest of the cool no matter what you have in mind.  SEPTEMBER OCTOBER 2015 51
