On the horizon
Summer is winding down (sniff) but September is looking STUPID. Enjoy your lazy days while you can, because after Labor Day your social calendar is booked, my people. On September 6 we have the @MAYOR EMANUEL BOOK EVENT!, our first-ever party celebrating a book based on a Twitter feed, and to judge from the way […]
15 years at the Hideout, in pictures
You know about the block party, right? Well, the night before we’re taking over some nearby walls to mount Scrap Book, a show of photos shot at the Hideout over the past 15 preposterous years.

The Conservatory was seriously damaged by hail on June 30; an estimated 13,000 panes of glass throughout the greenhouses were shattered by the golf balls of ice […]

The stupendous Honeyboy Edwards turns 96 today. 96!!!!!!! So of course we made him a banner. And by we, I mean Andrea.
Back from SXSW… in 1999 & 2000
Back from SXSW… it’s real work to drag yourself back to your normal life, so after parties held by The Hideout in Austin at SXSW in 1999 and 2000, celebrations of making it through (and back from) SXSW were held at The Hideout, and our good friend Liz Strause took photographs (from a ladder) to […]
