It’s the final Friday in February (try saying that 3x fast!), and what a fabulous Friday it is! Jerry Seinfeld’s in town, with two shows tonight at Bass Concert Hall, and it looks like tickets are still on sale (including some sweet obstructed view seats—seriously, what’s up with that?!) if you’re looking for something hilarious to do this evening. Shows are at 7 and 9:30 PM, so choose wisely, grasshopper.

Oh, and BTW: you can legally call someone a “wacko,” as a court recently ruled in favor of Seinfeld’s joking about a woman who had sued his wife for plagiarism of her cookbook (another charge dropped). Jury’s still out on “whacko,” though, so mind your Hs, mister.
If you’re more in the mood for a free event, particularly one that’s literary, check out the Smoking Typewriters reading at BookPeople. Get your reading and your rebellion on, all in one place! Historian John McMillian talks about the underground press of the 1960s starting at 7 PM. Nab a copy and support indie lit!
Finally, if you’re looking for LOTS more freebies here in Austin, you’ll definitely want to check out Free Fun in Austin. While lots of their freebies are family-oriented, site owner Heidi also regularly posts coupons you can use at local restaurants and businesses even if you don’t have a gaggle of kiddies in tow. Plus, I learned about COUPAWZ on her site (a forthcoming “Groupon for pets”), which is donating a bowl of food to one of my favorite animal rescue groups, Austin Pets Alive!, if you sign up for their newsletter in the month of February. GO! DO! NOW!

Hey, thanks for the plug! Woo hoo! I did indeed feel like I had a gaggle in tow when I took 5 kids to Chipotle tonight to use the facebook coupon!
