Inky Eyes Comics Mixer
Those who peddle panels and speech bubbles on an indie level, rejoice! Alienated Majesty Books plays venue to a quarterly comics mixer hosted by author Ashley Franklin (The Hills of Estrella Roja, The Skin You’re In) that acts both as a get-to-know-you event as much as it is a reading series. Inaugural readers include folks like Kat Fajardo, Laura Cañas, Logan Beecher, Morgan Thomas, and Sammy Ness. As the social provides free drinks and a plethora of perusable small-press comics for purchase, interested indie makers need only bring their pens, paper, and a few gently used books to donate to Inside Books Project, which collects and sends free books/educational materials to Texas prisoners. – James ScottWed., May 7

Trivia 512
We really have no shortage of trivia events in this town full of smarties, but what grabbed my attention with this one was the quality of the prizes. First place gets $125 to spend at happenin’ host venue Radio, plus $15 to whiskey distillery Still Austin, and second place wins $75 at Radio and $15 at Still. Third place is even a good prize: a bag of high-quality Radio coffee beans and a koozie. So dust off the ol’ brain, grab some buds, and head over to Radio on Wednesdays to give it a go. Fuel up beforehand with a 5-7 happy hour and discounted burgers, fries, and chicken sandwiches from Shortwave. – Kat McNevinsWednesdays
