You haven’t seen or met Austin’s own Zach Anner yet? Let’s fix that this Thursday.

Come on down to ZACH ATTACK! at the Alamo Drafthouse on S Lamar, 7 p.m. Thursday. Buy tickets here.

Zach Anner will appear with Zach Weiner of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.  They will entertain.

In addition, the evening’s MC will be none other than Alexis Ohanion, co-founder of Reddit, proprietor of Breadpig, co-conspirator of Hipmunk and Y Combinator, anti-SOPA campaigner, and all around talented Internet nice guy.

It should be a good time. Proceeds benefit DonorsChoose classrooms in Austin.

Please do join us. Thanks.

What can we do?

howdyneighbor:

Let’s stand up for an open, always-on Internet. Let voices be heard.

So much is happening so fast. We are witnessing both great struggle and great hope. Who knows what tomorrow might bring?

What can we do? Here are two simple ideas you:

1. Join us for a group photo in Austin (or wherever you are) on Sunday the 13th to show support to our neighbors in the Middle East.

2. Get engaged and follow these brave folks who are risking their lives for freedom.

Let’s show our neighbors that we care.

Please join us this Sunday afternoon if you can. In addition to joining the big Group Photo, I would love for us also to have a photo taken of Regulars enjoying this moment together, like this recent photo from TEDxAustin.

Anyone interested in making the Austin Tech Happy Hour (@ATHH) Thursday 6 to 8 p.m. at Molotov?  Here’s info.

Mozart’s is on this Friday the 15th from about 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. I hope to see you there.

It’s a great sign that several folks showed up last week despite the fact that I accidentally only emailed the invite to myself.  Oops.  Per last week’s notice, please join and support Austin’s own Gowalla (iPhone-only for now I’m afraid).

The above video features Jay Hallberg, co-founder and VP Marketing for Austin-based Spiceworks, which just announced a $16-million raise.  Congrats.

Also note that, in addition to Mozart’s Friday, this week features a tweetup, Ignite Austin, and a Bill Narum celebration.  Plan to make any?

This Saturday, The South Austin Museum of Popular Culture will host the opening celebration of its tribute to Texas treasure Bill Narum: The Museum will hold a memorial exhibit of work by rock art giant Bill Narum from January 16 through February 27. A reception and celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, January 16, at 7:09 P.M., and the family will be present to greet guests.For those who knew Bill, whose signed his work as “narum,” this exhibit is a way to sooth our souls as we mourn the staggering loss of our friend and colleague. He’d been at the forefront of creative and counterculture activity since the 1960s in Houston, where his many endeavors included co-founding rock music radio station KLOL and creating music posters for local venues. He was also part of the Armadillo Art Squad and did posters for Austin’s legendary Armadillo World Headquarters, where he spent hundreds of hours videotaping early shows. Also note: Be sure to dress warmly for the opening, since part of the activity will be outside. We will have outdoor heaters and fire pits and will serve hot beverages, including coffee with Tía Maria—one of Bill’s preferred beverages.We have no parking at the Museum, so please park on Collier Street (map here) and walk the short half-block to the Museum. Perhaps you got to meet Bill when he stopped by our Mozart’s gatherings a time or two.  Talk about a nice man. I’m going Saturday.  Meet me there?
