ACL weekend one kicks off today, but did you know only about a quarter of attendees are actually Austinites? In other words, this city is overflowing with tourists right now. If you're like host Nikki DaVaughn and want to dodge the crowds but still enjoy the weekend, we've got some great recommendations for you. On this week's Friday News Roundup, Nikki is joined by executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec and Esther's Follies writer and actor Shaun Branigan to discuss what else to get into this weekend. Plus, we break down the latest property tax hikes — including what you need to know about Prop Q, a measure on the November ballot — and the other stories we're obsessing over this week. In case you missed it, APD finally solved the Yogurt Shop Murders!
