"Salon" - Conceptualized by Billy Cope A dope deal that may or may not happen -- good fun ensues, as a cast of local artists assembles, waiting patiently for the kind bud, the schwag, the yerba, to arrive: learn the terrifying truth about the Austin art scene in this homegrown piece. The only performer that will be named at this time shall be known as 'the ancient mariner.'
