Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! Here’s a little update for your Monday:

We’re still in the process of securing our first collaboration, but things are looking promising. After sending over more details, we’re just waiting for the owner’s business partners to confirm. We are dying to tell y’all who it is, so hopefully that will be something we can announce on our socials soon.

We’ve also gotten in contact with another iconic Austin business. While we haven’t officially agreed on a collaboration with them, it’s another step in the right direction. Also, the plan is to print the shirts Friday, so we’ll have details on that and a social media video coming soon.

Tucked away in East Austin, Hyperreal Film Club is a community-driven cinema that celebrates independent, cult, and arthouse films in a space that feels more like a clubhouse than a theater. What started as a series of pop-up screenings has evolved into a permanent home on Chicon Street, where locals can catch everything from overlooked classics to new releases by Texas filmmakers. With sliding-scale tickets, local snacks, and a welcoming approach to film lovers of all kinds, Hyperreal has become a creative hub where Austin’s love for movies, art, and community all come together on screen. Screenings run throughout the week, and you can check out their full calendar of upcoming titles and events at https://hyperrealfilm.club.

What started back in 1991 as a small neighborhood fun run with just a few hundred participants has grown into one of Austin’s most cherished holiday traditions. The ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot now draws over 20,000 runners and walkers every Thanksgiving morning, filling downtown streets with families, costumes, and a contagious spirit of giving. Beyond the festive 5-mile run and 1-mile walk, the event has raised more than $4.6 million for Caritas of Austin, helping provide food, housing, and support to those in need. It’s a perfect mix of Austin energy, community, fitness, and heart. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just in it for the good vibes, there’s still time to sign up and join the fun at thundercloud.com/turkey-trot.

Short and sweet this week, thanks for stopping by.
