With so many great events coming up next week in Austin, it can be hard to figure out what to attend. So, here's a suggestion: "Hair of the 3-Legged Dog." This event's presented by The Austin Chronicle (and sponsored by Greystar), and it's named after the Chronicle's mascot Hank.

It takes place on Thursday, March 19 from 12 p.m. until 4 p.m. and brings food, drinks, and fun to The Liberty Bar on East Sixth Street in Austin. Four local artists will play music at the event: Sweet Spirit, Anya, Bop English, and Flesh Lights. There'll also be snacks from Tacodeli, Rhythm Superfoods, Baked By Amy's and more to fuel Austinites for another day of SXSW.

Doing the laundry is a necessary annoyance, but modern amenities have done a lot to make this weekly chore a less daunting. Here are the basic rules for properly washing and caring for your most essential articles of clothing.

1. Sort by color. You’ve likely heard that you need to separate your lights from your darks, but this step is especially important when washing denim or new clothes that have yet to be washed.
2. Use the right water temperature. As a general rule, wash delicate clothing that could shrink or bleed in cold water. For heavily soiled items, whites, and towels, use hot water instead.
3. Use the proper detergent. Not all detergents are created equal, so choose a type specially formulated for cold water, hot water, or even a brand made with color-safe bleach to remove stains from colored clothing. As a bonus, using the right type of detergent can even extend the lifespan of your clothes.
4. Secure buttons. Dab a bit of clear nail polish in the center of shirt buttons to help prevent them from loosening. Even better, learn how to replace one yourself if you frequently wear button-down shirts.
5. Keep zippers smooth. Rub zippers with wax every few weeks to keep them from catching or sticking.

Previously known as The Pita Factory, Pita Fusion is owned by three brothers whose goal is to combine pita bread with fantastic American sandwiches. The restaurant is a mixture of several recipes, cooking styles, and dishes that come together for a unique yet delicious experience. While customers can create their own dishes, notable menu options include the Touchdown Tim, a mixture of gyro and chicken, and vegetarian options such as the Avocado Pita.

The space itself is fun and vibrant. The brightly colored walls and friendly owners create such a friendly, comforting ambiance that it’s no wonder why this restaurant is a local favorite. It's important to note that lunchtime can become quite busy.
