A year-and-a-half of the pandemic has left many people feeling more isolated than ever. Analog Waco aims to address that with “Not Alone,” its latest personal storytelling event, at Fabled Bookshop & Cafe on Thursday night. Take a breath and reconnect with those around you by stepping into someone else’s shoes.
On Saturday, the Dr Pepper Museum is going to the dogs with the Dr Pupper community event. Bring your own pup for a dog costume contest, Audrey’s Pawstries, and drinks including puppucinos. And on Sunday, the Waco Association of Wrestling (WAW) presents Shock-Toberfest, an evening of wrestling mayhem at the Backyard.
