Michael Miller may appear at first meeting to be withdrawn, but he is absolutely present onstage and off, and his willingness to "get dirty" with his characters and continuous challenge to himself to be better make this seemingly reserved actor one of Austin's best.
Austin won't be the same without cultural legends Steve Barton, John Martin, and Robbie Jacks.
Exhibitionism
With The World Goes 'Round, director Dave Steakley has crafted a gem of a show, one that celebrates the musical team of John Kander and Fred Ebb with the panache and rich feeling of a beautifully crafted, sublimely entertaining musical of old, that makes us want us to come to the cabaret.

Local bestsellers are based on recent sales at Austin bookstores selected to reflect varied reading interests.
Readings
For years, eating out near Lake Travis was pretty strictly limited to burger joints, Tex-Mex places, fish shacks, and typical Texas roadside cafes. The update to our lakeside dining guide illustrates that all that may be steadily changing.
A prominent local restaurateur has taken to the radio, complaining about all the gloom and doom being reported in the newspapers and then a reader e-mailed last week to say he was tired of reading about "dot-com failures" and their impact on Austin's restaurant scene.

The subterranean magnificence of Carlsbad Caverns
I can't believe that at age 26 I have the same problem as my 63-year-old mother. We both leak urine if we sneeze or laugh. I have two children, and I have heard that this can make a difference. Since I can't turn back the clock (and these two children are worth the misery), is there anything else that I can do?
Do we need weather reports to tell us it's hot in Texas in August? How about to tell us it's wrong to have China host the Olympics?
