Since we know you all are busy people leading very busy lives, we’re recapping our top clicked stories each Friday afternoon.
You know, the stories that you’re going to want to share at happy hour, the office or while lazing around the house over the weekend. 
This week’s hot clicks include local food, local strip clubs and local good-byes.
- Trapped in the rip-off closet with R Kelly, whose “show” at a North Austin strip club turned out to be about 75 seconds long. Ticket-holders (some paid up to $500… why?) raised such an uproar, Eventbrite issued an official statement. 
- Whole Foods makes good on their promise and opens new location in their own backyard, maintains its “go local” stance in a variety of new ways.
- Another Austin landmark faces the wrecking ball. Dougherty Arts Center was basically loved to death.

The actual space at Polytheater is a crucial player in this. This is a lecture hall, not a theater. Over the decades it has seen historical performances by Vladimir Mayakovsky in the 1920s and Vladimir Vysotsky in the 1960s. This imparts an unusual atmosphere to the proceedings.
In her set design, Alisa Melikova both embraced and bucked the nature of the space. She accentuated its nontheatrical aura by blocking up the entire stage with a huge vertical construction. The actors walk up and down sets of stairs in what amounts to a sheer wall. On the other hand, Melikova overcame the severe limitations of the space through the use of film — residential interiors, landscapes and abstract designs are projected on sidewalls to give the impression that we are being transported to various locations.
The performance consists primarily of the court process led by the prosecutor with flashback scenes popping up here and there. Ageyev stylistically leans on the usual set of familiar contemporary “genres” — a TV talk show, a courtroom drama and, when the prosecutor turns into something of a stripper, a mildly titillating pop show.

It sounded too good to be true, which means, of course, that it was: R. Kelly, the man behind “I Believe I Can Fly,” “Bump ‘N Grind,” “I’m A Flirt” and more, singing at a North Austin strip club for “an intimate night with R. Kelly”? With tickets starting at a mere $30?
…
Finally, for his part, Kelly was telling the truth: at the event, a promoter explained to the hostile crowd that R. Kelly gets paid $250,000 if he’s actually going to perform — which also explains why a singer whose 2011 appearance in Houston had him play an 19,300-capacity arena was suddenly popping in to an under-utilized Austin strip club a year later. It’s hard to blame him for the fact that the promoter didn’t mention that he wouldn’t be singing in advance — though, while his reputation isn’t likely to get any worse, yelling that you weren’t paid enough at a bunch of fans who bought tickets expecting to hear you sing isn’t really a great look.

My stomach dropped a little when we showed up at a swanky strip club near the junction of 183 and 290 and right past the entrance was a sign proclaiming “NO REFUNDS.” My fellow concert goers and I joked that they were just going to play us some R. Kelly music videos, but once we saw the room we were too excited by the idea of seeing R. Kelly perform up close and personal to really believe this could all just be a rip off. R. Kelly’s legend is so great that Aziz Ansari does a bit where he simply describes going to an R. Kelly concert. And here we were, about to watch the man perform on a stage five feet from us. A stage with stripper poles on it.

If your mother is a bit more refined and appreciates the finer things Austin has to offer, we suggest taking her to Ballet Austin’s lavish production of Romeo & Juliet at the Long Center. If you love the story of star-crossed lovers but yawn at the thought of all that stuffy Shakespearean language, you’ll love seeing the action played out with beautiful choreography and music from the Austin Symphony Orchestra. What a way to make Mom swoon.
Finally, if you want a new take on brunch for Mother’s Day with great food but less chit-chat, might we suggest taking ol’ Mommie Dearest to the Alamo Drafthouse on Sunday for the Breakfast at Tiffany’s Mother’s Day Brunch at the new Slaughter Lane location? The four-course menu prepared by Chef John Bullington will thrill you as much as the romantic tension building between the fabulous Audrey Hepburn and the dashing Buddy Ebsen. Just forget that Holly Golightly is a call girl and that Mickey Rooney is even in it. You can just pay attention to how delicious your meal is when those parts come up.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to My Pinterest Is Piledrivers.  I thought the comment section for my last column was excellent, and even included an appearance by “Starcade,” my favorite commenter who is seemingly and inexplicably contrarian to what 99% of the IWC likes… so, perhaps… he or she is the average sports entertainment fan?  Oh, and I’m James A. Carter, but you knew that from scrolling down and seeing me sit on a stone wall in Spain.
Here is a promo between two wrestlers, Tyler Black (now signed to the WWE) and Austin Aries (now signed to TNA).  Both of these guys are well-respected in regards to their in-ring physicality, although I’d say that only one of these guys is also well-respected in terms of character development, promo work and acting.  So what’s to become of the other?  Should he be cast off into the seedy worlds of reality show celebrity bodyguard or strip club bouncer?  No.

A few weeks ago, Jimmy Carter made headlines by pronouncing himself “comfortable” with the idea of Mitt Romney being president. “He’s a good, solid family man and so forth, he’s gone to the extreme right-wing positions on some very important issues in order to get t …

APD investigators took pictures and used evidence signs to mark off areas along the entire stretch. The trail leads from the apartments to the victim’s body.
Sgt. Jamie Jobes with APD says the victim suffered head injuries. Sgt. Jobes says it wasn’t immediately clear whether witnesses saw what happened or if they simply found the victim’s body and called for help.
People who live and work nearby say the troubles like this are increasing.
“It’s a lot of good people out here but it’s a lot of bad people you know. It’s a lot of bad things going on, prostitution, drugs you know just like everywhere else. It’s something that, it’s kind of like it’s starting to be an everyday thing, you know. I think it’s real bad. The police are trying to do a good job, but they can’t be everyone at one time,” said Edward Moore.
