If you're an Austin local, you've probably passed by Daniel Johnston's "Hi, How Are You?" mural at Guadalupe and 21st Street countless times. You know the one: Jeremiah the Innocent, a squatting frog, is roughly painted below the question "Hi, How Are You," as he is on Johnston's 1983 album that the artist and musician produced during a nervous breakdown. Tonight, the Hi How Are You Foundation wants every Austinite to ask themselves that question at the inaugural "Hi, How Are You?" Day. The event takes place at the Mohawk starting at 6:30pm, an evening that celebrates and encourages awareness around mental wellness. Catch the Moving Panoramas, Kathy McCarty, Cowboy Diplomacy, Jane Ellen Bryant, Will Courtney, Josh T. Pierson and more.
