Hey all-
The Back To School issue is coming together and most things have already been assigned. See below to confirm who's been assigned what.
I am still looking for other volunteers to help us with the Guide To Sixth Street article, and this is your last chance to speak up. I'll be getting that together this weekend and then doling assignments out on Monday. Please let me know if you'd like to participate, and see below for an expanded explanation on what it is exactly.
Everyone who accepts an assignment, the deadline for all of these is Friday, August 17, although the earlier you can get it to me the better.
-----------------------
- The A.V. Club Guide To Sixth Street - Volunteers: Barrett Brown, Darcie Duttweiler, Amelia Gray, Sean O'Neal, Adam Schragin
AÊtongue-in-cheek, place-by-place rundown of the various merits--and demerits--of Sixth Street's bars, music clubs, restaurants, and shops. Most likely this will be in map form, with a legend at the bottom featuring 75-100 word blurbs about everything on the street from IH-35 to Brazos. I'll get back to participants with a master list soon to pick assignments from. The format will be:
Jackalope
(404 E. Sixth St., 472-3663)
What: This grungy den of iniquity plays up its psychobilly image with red walls, pictures torn from girlie magazines, and signature drinks like the Helldorado, a fruity drink served in a giant glass with enough straws to convince several women of questionable morals to go down on more than just the hefty $9 price. One of the few patios left on the strip herds smokers to the bar out back, and the kitchen serves surprisingly decent pub-grub until 1 a.m.
Who goes there: Tough guys; their Bettie Page-worshipping girlfriends.
We'll also be doing an "Off The Grid" sidebar that will cover the clubs on Red River, as well significant places like Beauty Bar, and Side Bar. Not the warehouse district, though, because that place is for chumps.
Here's everything else I have assigned:
Ê- Beyond The Mall shopping guideÊ- Assigned to Darcie Duttweiler
- Guide to WiFi in the city - Assigned to Adam Schragin
- Austin restaurant "mainstays" - Assigned to Barrett Brown
Ê- Places to take your parentsÊÊ- Assigned to Sarah Murray
Let me know if any of that is incorrect or if you have any questions.
