This spot’s big brag is that the North Loop Strip is the last place in Austin to find all locally owned businesses, which is honestly pretty freakin’ big. Why not celebrate this point of pride with a block party blowout, where almost every business in the area has their own little activities planned? You could stop in to Stitches, which just hit two years in the former Bloody Rose Boutique building and is having a vendor market about it. Or maybe you wanna find a rare video cassette, in which case your best bet’s Dub Trub and We Luv Video’s VHS Swap where vendors hawk physical media miracles to discerning cinefreaks like yourself. Plus more, like probably parking lot cash deals at Room Service Vintage and definitely a live in-store polyamorus podcast recording at Forbidden Fruit. Yowza! – James Scott
