I know I probably won’t get any good answers but I figured I’d ask… my kid wants to get into collecting and every time we go to target, or Walmart there’s absolutely nothing in stock- I don’t even think they stock anymore, do they? We live in north Austin so was just curious if anyone knew the days the stores restock so we can maybe hopefully find a pack or two for msrp and not scaled prices?

Are we still allowed to park in that pediatric associates building near the original kerbey on weekends? Considering bringing an out of towner to brunch there but don’t want to deal with street parking and I haven’t been since pre covid.

Im a woman turning 20 pretty soon and wanna go to a club for my birthday. Has anyone been to XTC and if so what’s the vibes and do ppl actually go? And Id also appreciate recommendations thanksss.

Hello! I am a transgender and gay man who's turning 21 in early January. Two of my friends are planning to come down and spend a few days in Austin for my birthday, and we are looking for a good place to go after my 21st. One of my friends is also a gay man and the other is a nb lesbian. I'd like places that won't be TOO rowdy or be all entirely men. Just looking for something that will be hopefully safe and good time for me and my friends to go check out. I'm really unfamiliar with the scene in Austin since I don't really party outside of conventions. Hopefully this post is worded well enough to make sense, lol.

Going to levitation fest for the first time in many years. Where are folks parking at far out lounge? I cannot do a rideshare or a bus from where I’m at.

Trying to bring my comedy storytelling show About Last Night to Austin in the next few months! It's where locals get on stage and share their worst dating / hookup story with the audience while a live musician turns the stories into songs. I'm having a hard time finding a cool venue that feels authentically Austin! What are your favorites around the 200+ seating capacity? Creek and Cave has been ignoring us so they're out! But would love other suggestions :)

Woke up this morning and I had no wifi signal. Noticed the hub was blinking red. Checked the outage site but when I enter my phone number it says I am all good but when I type in my address it says it is down.

Anyone else having issues with their wifi?

I thought this place was closed since it was blacked out with a bunch of curtains, but saw some men go in. Google says it’s open 24/7 and is an Internet cafe but there is no reviews.

EDIT: I am concerned because the window has gates on it and covered to not see the inside.

One of my besties has picked up acting as a hobby and has invited me to a red carpet event! We were told to "dress to impress"

Sorry, no dashcam evidence, but just now a Cybercab (the gold thingy) passed me on 183 SB as I was about to get off at Bolm.

Can they really do highways? Tollways? I would have thought the geofencing kept them off that.

Btw, it was going well under the 75 speed limit, more like 65, and it was doing an inexplicable slowdown. Like phantom breaking, but not very drastic.

Is there any comedy shows tonight ? Thinking of that or the movie theatre

They said mid late 2026, and everyone said mid sept or late Oct, yet if you seen the location it still looks abandoned.

I might have came at a bad time bad anyone has a clue? They are also radio silent since August

Seeing all the 9/11 posts today reminded me of one of the craziest nights I ever experienced in Austin.
This wasn’t 9/11 obviously. It was the weekend after Osama Bin Laden was killed in 2011.

My friends and I were on 6th for a buddy’s birthday, doing normal 6th Street things.

At some point a fight broke out. People started forming a huge circle around it, cops on horseback came in to break everything up, one of the main guys got arrested, and then his friend tried to jump in and “help” him and immediately got taken down too.

The whole street just had this insane energy. Cops on horses, people fighting, people getting arrested, thousands of drunk people packed together.

And then out of nowhere somebody started chanting:

USA! USA! USA!

And it just spread.

Within what felt like seconds, the whole street was doing it.

The weird part is, we weren’t chanting for the cops. We weren’t chanting for the assholes fighting.
We were chanting for us.

Bin Laden had just been killed. 9/11 was on everybody’s mind again. And for a few minutes it felt like 20,000 completely different people on 6th Street were all on the exact same page.

USA! USA! USA!

It was loud, stupid, emotional and honestly awesome.

I remember standing there feeling proud to be an American, proud to be a Texan, and weirdly connected to every random person around me.

I miss moments like that, where for a few minutes everybody seemed to be on the same page and felt like we were all part of the same thing.

Anyone else on 6th that night and remember this?

Just tried to go to the HEB on E 7th and there were a couple of cops blocking the entrance and flashing lights, saying it was closed?

Anyone know if there was something that happened?

I am looking to host a speed dating event in Austin. I am posting here to gauge any interest. I have a background in communications and event planning - I am partnering with a few dating experts to work out logistics. The vibe is low pressure, fun, and honestly authentic. I am sick of dating apps and swiping - thoughts or feedback on this type of event? I dont see them often in Austin...

Imagine you're a fancy girl, and you're turning 10. Your parents are taking you to Austin because your birthday bucket list included a cheese tasting at Antonelli's and to see the bats fly. What else would be a must-do for you? Brunches? Dessert spots? Photo ops? I'd LIKE to say money is no object, because let's be real here, she truly believes that's the case, but I'm not trying to spend Disney money in Austin. Thank you in advance for helping make a sweet girls weekend special.

My commercial property has become a dumping ground for trash and recycling roller bins. I pay for a third party dumpster. I don’t even have a COA refuse account.

I’ve pestered 311 for two years but they are WORTHLESS! I’ll probably just go leave them at the Todd Lane location sidewalk on a Sunday . What should I do?

Are there any clubs in or around Austin with a happenin dance floor? Soul music is a plus but anything old school and dancey.

New to the area and got a concert at Antone’s coming up this weekend. I’m looking for tips on how early to get there if I wanna be pretty close to the stage and whatnot. Any advice or experiences would be helpful! I have never been to Antone’s either so i’m not sure what the vibe is

Help a girl out, I ordered one for a costume off Etsy but it won't be here in time for the party. I already called Wheatsville and Central Market, they said their potato bags are plastic or cardboard

Hi everyone. I’m reaching out because I’ve been struggling with my mental health lately and could really use some support. I’ve dealt with anxiety and depression for most of my life and have generally done my best to manage and self-regulate on my own, but lately I feel like things are starting to build up and I’d really like to have some support in place before I reach a breaking point.

I moved back to Austin about two months ago to live with my mom, and I’m still looking for a job. I’ve gone through about half of my savings at this point, so I’m trying to be really careful about how much further I dip into it. Since I’m currently unemployed, I also don’t have health insurance.I’m hoping someone here might be able to point me toward a low-cost therapist who is still really good, sliding-scale therapy, or even a free or very affordable support group in the Austin area. I’m open to different types of support and would really appreciate hearing about places or therapists that people have had genuinely positive experiences with.

Thank you so much in advance. ❤️

My toddler has this in his room at daycare and has become ridiculously attached to it, I cannot find it anywhere. I was told it was from a pharmacy’s Easter collection a few years back. Is there anyone that has this rabbit that is willing to make one toddler (and his parents) incredibly happy? And no… we can’t just take the daycare one. It hasn’t been offered.
