We survived SXSW, we survived St. Patrick's Day and now all we have to do is make it through Monday. Good thing we live in a city where there's plenty of fun stuff to do.
Rodeo Austin is still going on, so if you were saving it until after the SX madness died down, now would be a good time to check it out. Watch top ranked rodeo athletes compete in bareback riding, steer wrestling, bull riding and more, or hit the fair for some games and rides. Still looking for some good music? Ludacris, Young the Giant and Gladys Knight are just a few of the award-winning artists performing throughout the fest.
It's salsa night at Las Perlas, downtown's green-hued, candle-lit mezcaleria. Starting at 7pm, dance instructor Robbie Sky will teach salsa and bachata (a style of dance that originated in the Dominican Republic). Donations (minimum $10) are encouraged. If you need a little liquid courage, happy hour at Las Perlas starts at 5pm.
Stop by the San José hotel for a tarot reading held by Sister Temperance Tarot (minimum $20 donation). Sign-ups begin in the lounge at 5pm, though reading don't start until 8pm—in the meantime, you can stroll along South Congress, reveling in the fact that there's actually room on the sidewalk post-SXSW.
