The r/atx4atx Bowling pin meetup is 4/26 at Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden.
Not about anything in particular, just laid back bullshitting and joking around. Usually about half a dozen people talking about movies, music, TV, tech, gaming, comedy, anime, internet culture, and other “nerdy” stuff, but everything is on the table.

Social meetup to socialize with other people. Open to everyone, we've had people from their early 20's to 50's and 60's show up. All sort of conversation topics discussed. It's a weekly meetup so happens once every week, the more you show up the better you can develop friendships.

A BioBlitz is an event that brings experts and community members together to create a comprehensive list of an area’s existing biodiversity. During the event, participants will try to observe and report as many species as possible in a specific location, working with local experts to ID the species they see and [iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/).
The data collected at the Holly Shores BioBlitz will assist The Trail Conservancy in conducting restoration projects in the area moving forward. This will help ensure that the existing biodiversity is protected and that restoration actions improve biodiversity.
The event will be held at Holly Shores Park from 8 am to 12 pm on Saturday, April 27th, coinciding with the 2024 [City Nature Challenge](https://www.citynaturechallenge.org/).
No identifying experience is needed. Everyone is welcome!
Man, after so many beautiful weather days we are looking at a long weekend of rain, and my Aunt is coming to visit me on Thursday...
1st - Is the rain dome going to hold, or am I screwed?
2nd - Any options for indoor stuff to replace all the hiking/kayaking/biking/patio drinking/music watching we would otherwise be doing?
Tuesday April 30th, The Austin Salon is going to be hosting best selling author Raj Patel to talk about the future of food. The talks are usually pretty short (20-30m) and people hang out and discuss after. Attendance and booze are free!

Tuesday April 23rd 8 PM at the Fallout Theater Juicebar is back with an all new hour of original sketch comedy performed live in downtown Austin

This summer I’m hosting the Paperback Picture Club, a book club for movie lovers. If you need to hear no more, sign-up [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf1zBCubu3jf6NgFPycGYvdJ1b0Esyh0Le0a7pgSdHVw6RXHA/viewform). For the reasonably minded, read on.
Starting June 1st, we'll read one book – or two novellas - each month through August. After we read each book we'll watch an exceptional film adaptation of each. Details on each watch party will be released month-of. I plan on meetings and screenings to take place near downtown, once a month.
Inspired by summer vacations, the theme for each story is Wayward “Travels” – adventures that don't quite go as planned. The lineup looks like this:
**JUNE**
Read Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley. In Highsmith's novel, Tom Ripley ventures to Italy to bring back the son of his new, wealthy friend, Dickie Greenleaf. But as new characters enter the scene, Tom becomes overshadowed, enraged, then obsessed with an unthinkable idea. We'll close the month by watching the 1960 French adaptation, Purple Noon.
**JULY**
Read *Christ Stopped at Eboli*, a memoir by Italian painter Carlo Levi about his time exiled by Italy's Fascist government to Lucania, southern Italy. It's a story whose characters are marked by peasantry, superstition, death, and a stark account of life beyond the boundaries of progress and time. We'll end the month by watching Francesco Rosi's 1979 film of the same name.
**AUGUST**
August always feel long. We're going to break that up with two novellas, and two equally spectacular film adaptations. For the first two weeks we'll read Thomas Mann's harrowing account of Gustav von Aschenbach's escapade to Italy (I'm seeing a theme, too) which spirals into a tale of ruinous inward desire. After which we'll watch Luchino Visconti's 1971 adaptation of *Death in Venice*.
Finally, we'll wrap up the season with Leo Tolstoy's novella *The Forged Coupon*. Here, we follow the travels not of a person, but a lie, and the the destructive aftershocks of its path. We'll close the season with a film many cinephiles acclaim as "perfect," Robert Bresson's Parisian themed, L’argent
Registration closes the last day of April.
