I’m a real South Austin so-and-so, which means I frequent the Manchaca Road location of Austin’s most fowl bakeshop about as much as anyone who likes cake can. (Which is to say, a lot.) That’s why I’m telling you the community-first vibes when you attend an event in the Soundspace are first rate. Why not try ’em out yourself at this book club meeting, where they’ll be discussing a lit-fic pick by Hal Ebbott about betrayal, class, and power among friends & family. – James Scott
