FIVE THINGS COMES TO AUSTIN
Get ready for an evening of hilarious Austin writers, comedians, and songsters as Five Things makes its Austin debut at 7pm on September 12!
Join Owen Egerton (named Best Austin Writer 2007 by The Austin Chronicle!), singer/songwriter Southpaw Jones, and writers Jack Kaulfus, Stacy Muszynski, and Tim Kerlin as they boldly go where no Austin artist has gone lately!
Five Things challenges five funny people to create a prop-based piece of art and present it in spectacular fashion. This month's theme is The Dollar Store, with our brave local talent bringing us songs and stories based off five things purchased from the Dollar General.
Located at the beautiful Do512 office in South Austin, the show will be followed by an outdoor performance by local lyricists Melody Murder (http://www.melodymurder.com). So much entertainment for only a buck!

over 3 years agoStacy Muszynski likes receiving letters. Many people oblige. Some of these people are passionate. Example: Someone once left a letter under her vehicle’s wiper-blade: "Next time leave a can opener so I can get into my car. You are dumb-dumb-dumb!" Someone—maybe the same person—posted a comment on her rather defunct blog: "yuck. that is fucking gross. no one wants to hear that shit. I would rather listen to someone sodomizing one of their children then reading your stupid ass dribble." In this vein, her work has been called, at turns, “beautiful” and “revolting.” This pleases her.

over 3 years agoSinger/songwriter Southpaw Jones treads lightly on the thin ice of irreverent honesty. Being left-handed, he naturally turns his guitar upside-down to play more comfortably. Being a creative little brother, he naturally turns the world upside-down to make his audience squirm with delight. An Austin resident of five years, Southpaw performs every Thursday with Matt the Electrician at Flipnotics @ the Triangle, and he updates southpawjones.net every weekday morning. He continues to celebrate the release of his latest digital opus, Cruelty.
