    Ghost Funk Orchestra, En Orbito, Blue Tongue

    Going to high school in the early Aughts, my brother and I dove headlong into all five elements of the cultural juggernaut that is hip-hop. Hermanito got tied up in breaking. Me, the music. The two intersected at classic jams, cyphers where old-school breakbeats ruled the floor. My first encounter with multi-instrumentalist wünderkind Seth Applabaum’s Ghost Funk Orchestra – reminiscent of the Jimmy Castor Bunch and David Holmes – threw me back to running the CD player while my brother and his crew took on any fool who tried to test them. – Cy White

      "Native America: In Translation"

      One thing I’ve loved about newer theatre or museums is the space given for land acknowledgement – statements about the ancestral roots of the space being used. Space that was not always ours, but taken. The Blanton’s latest exhibit tackles that question, but pushes the boundaries. It’s not just about what Native America was, but what it can be. Curator and lauded artist Wendy Red Star has assembled nine other Native artists to create a rich exploration of what life in America is today. Shown through a variety of mediums, something is guaranteed to resonate with the audience. Whether it’s the photos, paintings, videos, or multimedia works is up to you. – Cat McCarrey

      Austin Pride & aGLIFF Present: Chicago (2002)

      I once saw a stage production of Chicago in New York City, where my dad and a boy cousin snoozed through it all except for during the song “Mr. Cellophane.” You, good Reader, obviously have more taste than they. For example, you might consider attending this fun and official Austin Pride event where you can see drag hosted by Nadine Hughes, music from DJ Tony Castro, and even get a beauty consultation from Gorg! Wellness & Aesthetics. Once you’ve done all that, set up your picnic blanket and chairs on the Meanwhile lawn for a free screening of Best Picture winner Chicago. I promise: There’s more to this picture than just “Mr. Cellophane,” although John C. Reilly does a pretty freakin’ good rendition of it. – James Scott

      Gnome Gardens

      All people 11 or older reading this, buzz off! I’m talking only to kiddos 6-10 years old. Okay, now that the people 11 or older are gone, I’ll tell y’all the truth: Gnomes are real. The little guys with the triangle hats who often inhabit your neighbor’s lawn with little rakes and trowels? Yeah, they are real and they’re looking to move outta the suburbs. Alongside the cool librarians at the Little Walnut Creek Branch, you’re gonna help the gnomes by creating tiny gardens out of provided supplies. You’ll also design your own gnomes, and they’ll be able to live in your handmade home. Ain’t that cool? Making gnomes, sweet gnomes. : – James Scott

      Let’s Get Ready for Pride!

      Indoctrinate your children with the gay agenda! Just kidding, but you can craft some fans, bracelets, or signs that celebrate our commonalities and the things that make us different. Bring your own supplies if you want to make something in particular, otherwise they will supply basic crafting accoutrements. The big takeaway? Whoever you are, be proud of it. Then take that Pride to any of the local events celebrating queer folks around Austin.: – James Renovitch
