The last of the Solar-Powered Concert Series in Republic Square Park is tomorrow night, and the TBA closer is Fastball–yep, middle school/high school hotties Fastball, of You’re an Ocean, Out of My Head, and other gems, will be playing. With the Black & White Years, an Austin-based band that has tons of local acumen and rabid fans. So it’s probably going to be awesome weather (if you like the heat) for an awesome show.
Stop by the Farmer’s Market at the Triangle and pick up food, or do a Whole Foods run and bring a picnic to the park at 4th & Guadalupe. Gates (?!) open at 5 pm, music runs 5:30–10pm.
Solar Powered Concerts mean audiences experience “pollution free” music. In other words – no stage hum. Solar powered production is not only the better for the environment but also provides a sonically clean sound. The concerts benefit Blue Dog Rescue, an Austin area foster organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from our local shelters and adopting them into new homes. Blue Dog Rescue and their four legged friends will be on site.
Bicycle “Valet Parking” is provided by Mellow Johnny’s bike shop. Scooter and motorcycle parking will be provided on 5th Street by Wood’s Fun Center. For those of you who can’t walk or bike, please try to be pollution-free by checking out Capitol Metro, including the popular Dillos which service downtown, at www.capitolmetro.com.
Parking is available all day at the Laz Parking Lots located on 4th & Nueces and 5th & Rio Grande. Parking is available at the State of Texas Garage located at 4th & San Antonio after 5 pm.
Coming soon to This is Life in Austin: a free summer concert/film series calendar–keep an eye out.
