Dirt Road to Psychedelia: Austin, Texas During the 1960s
When: Fri., Jan. 23 2026
How did Austin of all places become ground zero for groovy? It’s the capital of Texas, so what happened in the Sixties to make it anything other than what it should be, i.e., a Republican hellscape? Find out in Scott Conn’s 2008 documentary about how the confluence of the right bands, the right venues, and the right drugs started to make Austin weird. The evening also includes a Q&A with Conn and a screening of his 1991 cult classic short, “Her Dog Satan,” recently restored by the Texas Archive of the Moving Image. – Richard Whittaker
