Pokémon is EVERYWHERE! Swing by and catch these little guys! Oh and rent an apartment while you're here! See you soon!

On July 8 and 9, the ART on 5th Gallery in South Austin invites you to celebrate the opening of one of its most high-profile exhibits, The Fine Art of Disney. On display through August 21, this special exhibit showcases pieces by 10 licensed Disney artists, and you'll likely recognize the characters.

Although these works have never been displayed in Austin before, they feature players from some of Walt Disney's most popular films. He himself had the vision to create these characters and their colorful worlds, and he found the very best animators and artists to make them into a reality. Explore the one-of-a-kind works of Disney art at the ART on 5th Gallery this Friday and Saturday. If you RSVP ahead of time, you'll gain free entry to the opening—so you'll be among the first to ogle the beautiful pieces filled with your favorite heroes and villains.

Grand Opening of The Fine Art of Disney
When: 7 – 10 p.m., July 8 and 9
Where: ART on 5th Gallery, 3005 S. Lamar Boulevard, Austin, TX 78704

In its 50-year lifespan, the building located at 1413 Webberville Road has been the site of various bars and music venues. It started out as the Lincoln Drive-In back in 1962, then transformed into TC's Lounge for the next three decades. In 2011, Sahara Lounge took over the space, and it's been delighting locals ever since.

The Sahara bills itself as a dive bar that captures "Austin as it used to be." That means no pretense, no frills, just good music, a relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of booze. The Sahara has signature craft cocktails, so grab something sweet when you come here for a show. You can enjoy it out on the patio on a warm Austin night, or stay indoors where you can really hear the live tunes coming from the stage.
