Everybody’s Talking At You, The Austin Chronicle
Reading series: You have in your mind’s eye, what, some image of a clutch of geezerly writer manqués stinking up a popcorn-ceilinged community-center rec room, taking turns intoning flaccid prose between changes of their colostomy bags? Eighty-six that notion, good citizen, and put your hands together for Teleportal Readings. For Five Things. For Utter Reading. For Whiskey Rebellion. For the Encyclopedia Show. For the Awesome! and Great! Reading Show. For the Bat Cave’s Story Department. For local instances of national phenomena Mortified and the Moth. Put your hands together for your friends and neighbors who know that print isn’t only not dead but that it gains greater life than ever when shared within a context of camaraderie and, sometimes, music and, perhaps especially, booze.
Five Things is proud to be listed among the Best of Austin, according to The Austin Chronicle:
Literary Salon 2.0: Five Things Austin
Forget the wine-and-cheese reading series of yore: Amelia Gray and Stacy Muszynski’s Five Things Austin is the hip kid in town, a scrappy, freewheeling multimedia show that pairs Austin’s leading lights in literature, music, and photography with a new generation of young pups just starting to feel the Beat – and all for a buck. Snaps.
Dollar Inspiration in the Austin American-Statesman:
When young adults grow old enough to be hip, they can head over to Five Things…
Friday night: Five Deadly Sins presented on stage in the Houston Examiner:
Matching five writers with five of the seven deadly sins, the show is sure to inspire a little decadence.
