I'm going to visit some friends who live in Austin and going to college there. What is some entertainment/fun that's near where they live and go to school. I'm not from this area so I wanted a pretty good idea of what to do.Also, the trip will be the week of March 20-27, what would be going on, as in events or must sees during that time?

Hi Maneene,
Here are a few ideas. Good Luck. Have fun.
Dabble your toes in Barton Springs Pool
Go shopping in the SoCo area,
Visit The Capitol
Austin's official slogan is The Live Music Capital of the World. Austin has a vibrant live music scene boasting more music venues per capita than any other U.S. city.
Austin's music revolves around the many nightclubs on 6th Street and 2nd Street
The longest-running concert music program on American television, Austin City Limits, is videotaped on the University of Texas at Austin campus. You can visit it.
A popular point of prominence in Austin is Mount Bonnell. At about 780 feet above sea level, it is a natural limestone formation overlooking Lake Austin on the Colorado River, approximately 200 feet below its summit. From the observation deck, many fine homes are visible.
The Austin Chronicle has listings and reviews for clubs and restaurants

I'm sure your friends will gladly take you down sixth street. There are a lot of clubs and bars with live music in the area. Also you can check out this website:

Ask them. They are living there. If they haven't discovered the spots to go, then you don't need to be visiting. Don't go there with some lame idea that somebody gave you from here and said you have to do this. Do your own research.
