Constitution Day Celebration
From the event description:
Is the next generation ready to carry the torch of liberty? The truth is, many Americans (young and old) can’t pass the basic naturalization quiz — the test an immigrant has to pass before they can become a U.S. citizen. So, where did we fail and what is the path forward? We believe the answer lies with civics education, and there is no better place to start than with the constitution! Join us as we celebrate Constitution Day with a discussion by TPPF’s Kevin Roberts, Ph.D. and Tom Lindsay, Ph.D. on why America’s founding principles are critical to our future.
When: Tuesday, Sept. 17, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.
Where: Texas Public Policy Foundation, 901 Congress Ave.
Admission: Free

The Messthetics
From the event description:
The last time drummer Brendan Canty and bassist Joe Lally were in a band together, they were the rhythmic architects for Fugazi, an organization whose decade and a half of disciplined progressivism provided a necessary bridge between the zenith of late-punk expression and everything alternative in rock that followed. In 2016, the two were enlisted by guitarist Anthony Pirog in a conspiracy to subvert and re-imagine the power trio.
When: Thursday, Sept. 19, 8 p.m.
Where: Barracuda, 611 E. Seventh St.
Admission: $13 (Advance); $15 (At Door)
