Start with some comedians, add a band, then more comedians, and top it off with another band and what do you get? An entertainment sandwich for your ears. How much does something like this cost? $10, $20, $50???? How about if you act now you get it for FREE! Also if you act later and just show up, its also free. So uh...good deal either way. 

Get away from the crowds, watch a great show, and enjoy the excellent food and drink selection at Cherrywood Coffee Shop. The show starts at 3pm and ends at 8pm. Be there!

Here's the current lineup:

3:30pm - Chris Trew, Cyrus Cooper, Drew Platt, and Dane Facheaux 
4:45pm - Guns of Navarone
5:45pm - Robert Gagnon and Kath Barbadoro
6:15pm - Michael Priest, Katie Sicking, Zach Hanes, and Ryan Cownie
7:15pm - Gentlemen Rogues

Yep. SXSW. Outside at Cherrywood under the stars. A three-band lineup in celebration of Pi and all that is good in the world. 

7:30pm. The John Leon Shapeshifter Alliance. "Crazed and cinematic instrumental music from Austin's premiere psychedelic film music band."

8:30pm. Stone Wheels. "Austin's newest and greatest psychedelic cosmic country band led by veteran traveler and philosopher Andrew Gerfers."

9:30pm. The debut of Show-Fur. "An experimental music collaboration between two legendary limo drivers. Andrew Gerfers and John Leon unleash their inner travel and destination agendas in a flurry of dreamlike brilliance riding the thin veil between ecstasy and horrific pain." 

And the best part? All of this is not only FREE, but also far enough away from the craziness of downtown that you can actually find a parking place without having to worry about accidentally running over drunk hipsters in town from Williamsburg or Sacramento. 

Lastly, this night will be one of your final chances to say goodbye to John Leon before he moves away from Austin forever. So come on out and get while the getting is good.

Well here we have the Thursday line up.
