DECEMBER 10TH - 11TH | FBI: FUNNY, BLACK
AND INTELLIGENT! |
An evening
with Comic Clen Vance Opens Late Nighte
at Hyde Park
December 10 and 11 th @ 10 pm at Hyde
Park Theatre, at 511 W. 43rd St.
Vance is making the transition from the
Stand-up Club to Intimate Theater as he
brings a series of topical
thought-provoking humorous sketches to
the Austin stage in this premiere of
F.B.I.
A veteran of stand-up comedy since the
late 80's, Vance's humor covers a wide
spectrum of human experience. His
comedic observations are acerbic in the
style of Bill Maher, topical like Dick
Gregory/Dennis Miller and have an
urban/contemporary flavor in the
tradition of Richard Pryor and Paul
Mooney.
His wit is subtle, political and quick —
but most of all it is hilarious! For
more info about the show - please call
Pro Arts at 236 0644.

TEXAS RELAYS |
Each year, tens of thousands
descend upon Austin for one of
the country's premier track and
field events.
The 2005 Clyde Littlefield Texas
Relays will take place Wednesday
through Saturday, March 31
through April 3, and will be
held at the Mike A. Myers
Stadium located east of Darrell
K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
Possibly even bigger than the
track and field events
themselves, the party scene in
Austin that weekend is off the
chain. Check out
