Join Laurie Gallardo (host/producer from KUTX 98.9) for an evening with a touch of the sinister as she presents a dramatic reading of a spooky short story for your listening pleasure! Think of it as a kind of eerie bedtime story\, but in the rich tradition of NPR’s Selected Shorts. This event will begin with a brief instrumental musical introduction performed by Carrie Rodriguez and David Pulkingham\, followed by Gallardo’s performance. Sit back\, relax\, and allow your imagination to fly as Gallardo ushers you into the folds of the macabre! \nIn addition to her far-reaching radio broadcast platform\, Gallardo has also made a name for herself as a voice actor under the guidance of her mentor\, actress Lainie Frasier. Gallardo’s voice has been featured on various documentaries\, anime series\, video games\, commercials\, and theatrical projects. As a film actor\, Gallardo made her big-screen debut in the 2014 independent thriller\, Two Step\, written and directed by Alex Johnson\, and has a comedic role in writer/director Dash Donato’s independent film\, Foxy Trot. Gallardo also has a leading role in the beautifully haunting short film Goodbye Sirena\, based on a screenplay by Tracee Beebe and directed by Melissa Dalley. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1552214515414980/ URL:https://www.thedarkersideofaustin.com/event/dark-lovely-with-laurie-gallardo/ LOCATION:Stateside at the Paramount CATEGORIES:Event ORGANIZER;CN="Paramount Theatre":MAILTO:noreply@facebookmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250202T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250202T190000 DTSTAMP:20250121T171757Z CREATED:20250121T171757Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250121T171757Z UID:10005691-1738512000-1738522800@www.thedarkersideofaustin.com SUMMARY:Sir Rat Kink Bingo DESCRIPTION:Hello Mischiefs\, \nYou know the drill! it’s Kink Bingo Time\, exclusively this month we are doing on 2nd Sunday as we have lined a big event for World Aids Day. \nJoin our hosts Simone Riviera\, Hexa Dulce for the best bingo in town with the BEST prizes from: \nFor this month we have Daddy D\, filling for Daddy Randy\, that will be getting his long deserved vacation. \nSlut MonkeySir Rat Leather (Gear and Toys)Cellblock 13OxballsCode 22 \nCome in Gear\, Leather\, Uniform or Everything else. \nEveryone is welcome. \nSee y’all there! \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/8988782997869867/ URL:https://www.thedarkersideofaustin.com/event/sir-rat-kink-bingo-3/ LOCATION:The Austin Eagle\, 8201 Cross Park Dr B2\, Austin\, 78754 CATEGORIES:Event ORGANIZER;CN="Sir Rat Leather &%3B Gear":MAILTO:noreply@facebookmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20241207T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20241207T233000 DTSTAMP:20241123T001933Z CREATED:20241123T001917Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241123T001933Z UID:10005589-1733603400-1733614200@www.thedarkersideofaustin.com SUMMARY:1-800-Clown-Town: Rubber Chicken Soup DESCRIPTION:?????? ??????? ????\n\nPresented by 1-800-CLOWN-TOWN at Kickbutt Coffee\nSaturday\, December 7th\, 2024\n\n\n\n\n•°☆??? ????☆°•\n\n?????? ??????? ???? is a one-night only performance art extravaganza\, blending clown chaos\, immersive installations\, and adult-themed acts that are not for children.
