Saturday is art crawl<\/a> day out in The Edge. From 4 to 8 PM, check out gallery exhibits and meet local artists. There will be live music in the neighborhood, and restaurants and bars will have food and drink specials. I’m going to try to make it to the last 2 or so hours of this event.<\/p>\n
The Flying Saucer will have Disney trivia the evening of Tuesday, July 29.<\/p>\n
The M-80s headline tonight’s Peabody rooftop party<\/a> with DJ Sledro between sets. $15 gen adm, $40 VIP.<\/p>\n
Reminder: There’s a fundraiser<\/a> at Slider Inn Downtown for Texas Hill Country flood victims tonight.<\/p>\n
There will be DJs at Handy Park tonight from 7 to 10, kicking off a new series called Spinville<\/a>.<\/p>\n
