Best Way to Get Drunk With a Genius
Mary Sledd

Head East on MLK, past the dump and the jail, 'til Martin Luther King morphs into 969. There, on the top of the hill to the left, resides Pliny Fisk III, the man who the Pentagon turned to (after it got rammed with a plane) in the hopes of making the building green. The Pentagon! Trust us, you want to have a glass of wine with this guy, and you can: The first Friday of the month, Pliny opens his home and workspace to Austin's curious (usually architectural students and professors) to give a tour, offer wine and snacks, and talk your ear off. You'll love every minute of it. Open house first Friday of every month, 6:30pm.
