This Weekend: The Official Formula 1 Afterparty 11/18/2012

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year, you’re probably well aware of the fact that the Formula 1 racetrack, “Circuit of the Americas,” is hosting its first race this weekend.  Bringing a ridiculous amount of wealth into town for likely no more than 72 hours, the event brings with it a plethora of very glitzy parties… and by “glitzy,” we mean “$50,000 per ticket.”  But for those of us who want a taste of the global grandeur without the price tag to match, the official closing party is a bit more accessible.  Starting at $99 per ticket, the party transforms the Bob Bullock Museum into an epic party venue this Sunday night with live music from the likes of Austin’s own Ghostland Observatory, Fitz & the Tantrums, The Wailers, DJ Jillian Ann and Tje Austin.

Tickets: $99-250 (click here to purchase)

This Weekend: Music Under the Star

Music Under the Star

This week’s rains brought with them an added benefit: they cooled things off just enough to allow for a perfectly comfortable evening of free music under the big Texas sky.  The Bob Bullock museum’s annual “Music Under the Star” series is back again, gracing our ears every Friday in July at 6 pm with al fresco performances from some of the Lone Star State’s finest under the museum’s iconic star. This week, Kelly Willis and Ruby Jane grace the stage with neotraditionalist country leanings and killer fiddling chops. The show starts at 6; consider arriving early with a blanket or lawn chair to snag a spot and enjoy refreshments from local vendors.  Yet another reason to TGIF.
