Friday plans, before Friday arrives
Every Thursday at 7 AM you get the weekend lineup — markets, music, festivals, and the quiet things that only show up on a city calendar. Read it with coffee. Decide before the good seats are gone.

Why subscribe
Why neighbors keep this email
One email, not a doomscroll
Facebook groups are loud. This is one short letter. No algorithm, no “you may also like,” no nine other people’s yard-sale photos. Just what is happening in Bastrop County this weekend.
Free, forever
There is no paywall and no “premium tier.” The desk is free to read. The newsletter is free to join. Unsubscribe whenever you want — the link is in every issue.
Written here, for here
It is not a statewide digest with Bastrop buried in the footnotes. Listings come from Elgin, Smithville, Cedar Creek, McDade, Paige, and the county seat — the same calendar you already use on this site.
Separate from emergency alerts
School delays, burn bans, and road closures have their own lists on the alerts page. The weekly letter stays about the weekend. You choose what lands in your inbox.
What you will get
A Thursday morning note with the best of the weekend calendar: tonight’s show, Saturday’s market, Sunday’s hike or honor walk. When something big is coming — a festival, a parade, election night — it shows up there first so you are not hunting six Facebook groups at 9 p.m. Friday.
See what this week looks like on the site: See this week’s weekend list. That living list is what the email is built from.
Status alerts (burn ban, schools, power, SH 71, US 290) are optional and separate — join those on the alerts page if you want them.
