From Our Friends At Ghisallo Cycling Initiative:
We are in need of 30-40 Aid Station Volunteers!
As one of Austin Marathon’s Charity Partners we run one of the Aid Stations (where runners get water) during the event. We have our captain and co-captains set, but need A LOT of general volunteers who help with set-up, water hand-ups, and tear down. It is an easy and fun opportunity, and is easier and more fun the more people we have on-site.
Our station is at mile 20 and will be located at at Conley-Guerrero Senior Activity Center (https://goo.gl/maps/j5HpmKFZCNC2) in Central East Austin, where we have our Golden Rollers (http://goldenrollers.org) senior tricycle program.
Here is the site to sign-up to volunteer for our Aid Station at Mile 20:
https://eventdog.com/a/volpage.php?eID=711&token=1199&volID=54
The main Event Dog site doesn’t let you sign-up for partial shifts, and many people prefer a shorter than 6hrs shift on a Sunday morning. So, like last year we will internally split this into two shifts, 7am-10:30am and 10am-1:30pm.
SHIFTS:
Full (6hrs, 7:00am – 1:00pm)
First (3.5hrs, 7:00am – 10:30am; set-up and hand-ups)
Second (3.5hrs, 10:00am – 1:30pm; hand-ups and tear-down)
We will be providing breakfast for the 1st shift, lunch for the 2nd shift, and snacks for everyone! If you are interested helping with the Aid Station, please sign up on this Google Form in addition to the Event Dog one so we can plan for the two as well as full shift needs:

If people can work the “Full (6hrs, 7am – 1pm)” shift that would be greatly appreciated!
We call it the Sunday Best… because there’s no better place to be on a Sunday afternoon than with us at The ABGB.
Hang out under the trees.
Drink some beer (that’s all made here).
Hug your friends.
Have a sandwich… or a slice or two.
Swing your partners.
That’s the Sunday Best.
If it’s Wednesday… then it’s time to get happy. And it’s time for Warren. Our weekly shows on Wednesdays with Warren Hood are just the thing you need to get you through the week.
Warren is our neighbor here in South Austin. He’s also an ABGB regular. We count ourselves as pretty lucky to have one of our city’s best musicians living so close… and even luckier that we get to put him and his stellar band to work bringing us his unique swinging Texas roots pop. We’ve nicknamed the shows as being “All Good In The Hood”.
Wednesdays are happy hour all night all long with a $1 off pints and reduced prices on pitchers.
So, come over. We’re going to be having a real good time… and we’re going to be dancing. We want you here.

Lucas Hudgins will be here for all your honky-tonking needs. Hudgins refuses to call what he does “Classic Country” because he says that makes it sound like its gone. And Lucas is proof that it’s not. Listening to him sing with deep and smooth confidence, it’s evident how alive and fresh the sound can be. Timeless, that’s what it is.

Are you ready to Volunbeer with us?
The ABGB, as part of The Hell Yes Project, is teaming up with the Central Texas Food Bank on the last Tuesday of the month for an evening of volunteering at the Food Bank’s warehouse.
And, after a shift of putting your hands, heart and soul to work, you can enjoy the satisfying taste of a cold ABGB beer. That’s what we’re calling Volunbeer Night, and we want you and your crew to join us.
Different good times are planned for each month! Activities, speakers, and music are all coming up on tap! Come for the first one, February 27th, as it will feature a behind-the-scenes tour of the Food Bank and all its amazing abilities to serve our neighbors in need!
Mark your calendars for the last Tuesday of each month. The shift runs from 6pm-7:30pm, and brews and events go 7:30pm-9pm. All volunteers must be 21+ and provide proof of ID for beverage service. Please drink responsibly and make prior transportation arrangements as needed.
Join us for a cooperative effort in giving-back, and unwinding! Claim your spot here: https://cafb.volunteerhub.com/event/index/7526390
