Beard Folks at Austin Handmade (located on 2009 S. 1st St.) is guaranteed to be fun. Why, you ask? There will be an interactive bearded photo booth provided by local artist Corinne Loperfido! What more do you want? I last saw Corinne's amazing beard-art skills when her and Kevin C. Foote teamed up and did a show at the Birdhouse Gallery back in August.
The show on Friday is guaranteed to be just as good (if not better). As is usually the case with this blog, we believe fun can be had for cheap. Beard Folks is no exception - free alchohol will be provided by St. Arnolds Brewery and Treaty Oak Rum, free "beard cakes" by Sugar Mama's Bakeshop and great music by Team Fabrication.The show starts at 6:30 and goes til 9:30, but get there early - free mustache giveaways to the first 25 guests! If you can't make it at 6:30, don't fret - there will be other giveaways and raffles provided by Birds Barbershop. See you there!!
If that's not enough art for you - here's something else (but not for the children):
The $ex & Death art show at the 5th Gallery. 5th Gallery is located
at 305 B. E. 5TH. This is an "adult themed" event. The Facebook page describes the group show this way: "features how artists percieve, react & respond to sex, death & variations of the two. This show will explore themes considered "taboo". The show starts at 7:00 and ends at 11:00. The show is actually running through November 13th - tonight is the opening party and there is a closing party on November 13th (Friday the 13th!) also from 7-11 pm.

We'll probably check this out for a few minutes after the Beard Folks.
After all the art - it's time for some good old downtown clubbing action. First stop:
My favorite nightlife spot in Austin (besides 4th St.) is having a arty-party tonight! Be at Beauty Bar at 9pm for the Austin Brooklyn Art Exchange. And once again early bird gets the worm, as the first 50 in get a free CD! Beauty Bar is at 617 E. 7th, and has hosted many a great events in the past. Tonight, hear music by Deadbeat Darling, The White White Lights and Spencer Gibb. Be sure to check out the (live) screen printing by Twin Villain and the market by GAT5 textiles. Also, Car Stero Wars are inside...I've heard them before, and they don't dissapoint. 
Admittedly, I'm not sure what the cover is for this event - but it's usually not too high at Beauty Bar.If it gets too crowded there, we'll probably hop over to Creekside where our DJ buddy Orion is playing. If you haven't seen him DJ, not to be missed. Wear your dancing shoes! Oh, and have I mentioned - Orion always has the coolest flyers? ----->
There are some other things going on tonight that we probably won't be going to, but they are worth a mention:
So...that's your Friday! There's even more stuff going on tomorrow, and stay tuned for an update from Wednesday's Fierce Fest - photos to come!
Hope it's a good one!
xoxo
