“Procrastinator’s Guide to Austin Events: Weekend of October 24th and 25th, 2009″
Not sure what to do in Austin this weekend? No need to scour the Internet. Check out our procrastinator’s guide to the weekend happs in Austin.
We don’t have everything (Check out our buds The Peen Scene for a full list of the nightlife party events in Austin, Cool in Austin for lots of free and super cool ish, or check out Do512 for everything else). But what we do have is good. Plus, it’s pretty much certain that someone from the RoA team is gonna be there. If you see us, say hi!
Well, this is the ULTIMATE Procrastinator’s Guide to the weekend. Sorry it’s super late. This little Dillo’s been trying to see as many films at the Austin Film Festival as possible. Let me tell you: Scurrying under feet in a theater is NOT fun. Did you know Ron Howard has stinky feet? Now you know!
Anyway, you know it’s Halloween cause the zombies are out in full force. Be careful, my friends. Brains are a terrible thing to waste.

Zombies Have Rights, Too
It’s that time again: Time to march on the capital in support of the undead.
