7:00 pm : Scary Stories to Tell in the Bar: Austin Bat Cave Presents Story Department (A Lit Crawl Event)

Story Department is Austin Bat Cave's live storytelling event, similar to the Moth. Stories are typically ten minutes long, rehearsed, and based on a theme that is wide open for interpretation. Join us to hear writers Dalia Azim, Sindya Bhanoo, and Maurice Chammah tell true stories on the theme Scary Stories to Tell in the Bar.

8:00 pm : Awst Press Presents: Lit Crawl Against Humanity

Lit Crawl Against Humanity is a "party game for horrible people." Join Austin-based Awst Press, along with Austin poet Tomás Q. Morín and other writers, for fun times and a shared vigilance against tripping into nearby Waller Creek.

FAQ

What about masks? This is an outdoor event, though masks are encouraged when not eating or drinking or when entering the venue's indoor premises (e.g., the restroom).

Is a photocopy or phone image of my vaccination card or negative COVID test acceptable, or do I need to bring the original document? Original documentation is preferred upon entry, though clear, easily readable copies on phone or hardcopy are usually acceptable.

If I choose to provide verification of a negative test instead of vaccine verification, is an at-home test acceptable, or does it need to be proof from a test that was performed in-person with a doctor or clinic? In-person tests are highly preferred because they have your name on it.

What's the parking situation? There is paid street parking around Symphony Square, though it is limited, especially on a Saturday evening. There are also nearby garages and lots where paid parking is available. As an alternative, we encourage utilizing Ubers, Lyfts, taxis, and ride-shares.
