The weekend’s events
Friday Happy Hour Residency
Original schedule: Friday, August 21st | 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Jacob Alan Jaeger’s Friday residency at the White Horse was paired with beginner dance lessons. The newsletter presented it as a way to hear live music and spend time on the dance floor in the same evening.
PBR Gambler Days
Original schedule: Friday, August 21st - Sunday, August 23rd | Times Vary
PBR Gambler Days combined team bull riding with a music program across the weekend. The original selection named several performers, but the central attraction was the team competition in the arena.
Austin Sketch Fest
Original schedule: Friday, August 21st - Sunday, August 23rd | 6:00 PM - 1:00 AM
Austin Sketch Fest featured live scripted comedy from Austin and visiting performers. A weekend badge was highlighted for readers interested in attending several shows rather than choosing just one performance.
End of Summer Splash
Original schedule: Saturday, August 22nd | 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
End of Summer Splash brought water activities to Hill Country Galleria. The newsletter listed the event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; its separate reference to 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. described regular splash-pad hours, not the duration of every special activity.
Chrome & Coffee
Original schedule: Sunday, August 23rd | 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Chrome & Coffee at PopStroke combined a car gathering with coffee and the option to play mini golf. The selection offered a Sunday morning outing built around looking at cars and spending time at the venue.
