Who else has had the pleasure of catching a show at the Long Center Lawn with their new 3D-printed stage, courtesy of the talented folks at ICON? I was recently asked about my favorite music venue in Austin, and while I rattled off a few places, this spot didn’t immediately come to mind. But without a doubt, I can say that this venue is hands down a favorite for my family. We’ve spent many nights on the lawn, soaking in the views and enjoying the incredibly talented artists we’re fortunate enough to call our neighbors. What’s your favorite place to catch a show?
