One of my favorite parts of STAPLE! is of course the parties! As has become tradition the STAPLE! Pre-party will be held Friday night at Austin Books and Comics at 5002 North Lamar Boulevard. Festivities begin at 8pm and run till 11, but feel free to come in early and browse! This year's after-party will be held at Red's Scoot Inn at 1308 E. 4th Street (4th and Navasota), just a few blocks east of I-35. Once again there will be a Live Art Show, another staple of STAPLE!, and the whole thing is a benefit for KOOP Radio!

Representatives from the Austin office of The Onion, America's Finest News Source, will be...well, representing...at this year's STAPLE! I've been a loyal reader for years so I'm personally pretty stoked to see them come out to the show. A print version of the paper that includes local entertainment news and reviews is distributed at over 1000 locations in Austin, so pick one up - it's free! Several members of their super-hip and attractive staff will be on hand at STAPLE! for you to ogle and admire. Become their BFF at http://www.myspace.com/theonionaustin |
