Celebrating 20 years of convenience
South Austin’s own Whip In marks two decades of history this weekend with a free show
tomorrow Sunday, May 7, at the Continental Club from 2 pm until it’s all over. There will be no cover charge.
Beginning at two, a new band takes the stage each hour until James McMurtry comes on at 8 and Heybale at 10: 1001 Nights Orchestra, Rumbullion, Combo Mahalo, Cooper’s Uncle, Gene Taylor, Texas Sapphires, James McMurtry, and Heybale.
The illustration shows Whip In’s original mom and pop. It’s the wrapper from another of the redoubtable Chef Keem‘s chocolate creations. It’s marked “A little sweet – from a sweet little corner shop.” This treat, unlike the show at the Continental Club, is not free, but it’s worth every penny.
I think it’s May 7th?
Next week, May 7, it is. The calendar pages flipped from Saturday, April 29, to Sunday, May 7, just like that! Maybe I need one of those Aztec calendar stones or something.
