1st Thursday •Sip‘n Sing• Karaoke
Today at 6pm · Austin
Join us at The Lion’s Den Tea for an evening where every voice finds its roar. Whether you are a shower singer, a seasoned performer, or just looking for a cozy night out with the family, our den is open to you.
We believe karaoke should be just like a good cup of tea: warm, comforting, and better when shared. This is an all-ages and all-abilities event, so bring the kids, bring your friends, and don't worry about hitting the high notes. We are here for the fun, not the critique.

Mini Debates at Oak Hill Social
Sun at 3pm · Austin
strong opinions. low stakes. questionable arguments.
LET’S FIGHT is an afternoon of mini debates about things that absolutely do not matter enough to argue about — which is exactly why we’re going to.
window seat vs. aisle seat. does pineapple belong on pizza? is a hot dog a sandwich? we’ll release most of the topics ahead of time so you can find a hill (or a few) you’re willing to die on.
debates are mostly 1v1 (with the occasional three-way showdown). pick a topic + a side you actually want to argue, grab the mic, and make your case. we’ll keep rotating through people all afternoon, so you can debate once, come back for another round, or just grab a drink and watch other people fight about it.
no debate experience necessary. genuinely. this is not that serious.
🏆 there will be prizes for particularly convincing arguments, crowd favorites + other feats of completely unnecessary debate prowess.
🍻 Oak Hill Social will have food + drink deals throughout the afternoon, and everything is happening indoors because we are not debating whether it’s too hot outside. it is.
pick a side. make your case. shake hands after.RSVP Here

One Hell of a Yard Sale
Sat at 10am · Austin
I moved around a lot the last couple years and I have too much stuff for living in a studio. My loss is your gain! I threw legendary stoop sales in Brooklyn and I’m excited to now set up shop on my Austin yard…
Come by for indie label clothing (mostly womens, assorted sizing small-medium-large), cute hair accessories, fun new and vintage jewelry, a confusing number of scarves, shoes (women’s, size 39-40), housewares like ashtrays, kitchen items, and textiles, and a few high end designer pieces.
Pieces are clean and well cared for, so be aware prices are moderate! Haggling is welcome, just be cool and kind ✌🏻
Starts around 10 am, will go on til the day wears me out…RSVP Here
