To all of our Austin friends: There's only one reason to venture forth into the Black Friday madness, and this is it. The Blue Genie Art Bazaar is an awesome show with some great artists (including, ahem, Jupiter's Child). It opens Nov. 29 and runs straight through till Christmas Eve. If you're looking to buy local this season, we're here for you.

Or you can say what my grandmother used to tell us when she wanted us out from under her feet: "Go sit on the curb and wait for a parade to come by."
