SUMMARY:AARC: An Evening With Tones
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to spend An Evening with Tones at the Asian American Resource Center on Thursday\, February 5 from 7 to 9pm! This event is a cozy and casual night of original music and poetry and will feature a reading by Phoebe Murphy\, musical performances by guest rooms and Albeit the Maze\, plus a short Q&A with the evening’s creatives. \nAn Evening with Tones will showcase Austin-based AAPI creatives in a small\, intimate environment (similar to a listening room)\, putting the spotlight on their talent and ability to share worlds through their art. Through this experience\, we hope that attendees and featured creatives can exchange dialogue\, feedback\, appreciation\, and ideas in a candid\, sincere\, and supportive way. \nArtist Bios: \nPhoebe Murphy is a Chinese-American writer of literary and speculative fiction. Born in China and raised in Houston\, Texas\, she is an MFA candidate at Texas State University. Her work has been featured in Nocturne Magazine and Chthonic Matter\, and she is currently at work on a novel. \nAs guest rooms\, Persian-Texan Mason Parva explores the possibility of paradox. Classic songcraft coexists with ambient textures and field recordings to create a sound that is at once intimate and vast\, reverent and irreverent\, familiar and otherworldly. Lyrically\, Parva explores themes of love\, creation\, myth\, truth\, and ultimate reality. Each song is a quiet portal into the self\, inviting one to look directly at their parts that contradict yet harmonize. \nAlbeit the Maze\, also known as June Nguyen\, is a transfeminine Vietnamese American singer-songwriter based in Austin\, Texas. Pulling from musical inspirations such as Radiohead\, Fleet Foxes\, St. Vincent\, and The National\, June writes acoustic-forward songs that aim to impart a sense of longing. Her debut release\, Victim of a Threat EP\, explores topics such as masculinity\, loneliness\, repression\, and abandonment through the lens of a trans woman born and raised in Texas by Catholic immigrant parents. \nThis event is free\, all ages\, and open to the public. Light snax will be provided. Registration is encouraged. RSVP | An Evening with Tones

SUMMARY:Understanding How Data Centers Impact Texas
DESCRIPTION:Keaton Peters will present on how data centers affect the power grid. He will explore questions that have come up in his extensive reporting on this topic. How much power will data centers need\, and how are they trying to get it? Who pays for new power infrastructure? How do data centers use water? What has happened when data centers move in near residential areas? And what could happen if the stock market’s ‘AI bubble’ starts to burst? The presentation will explain why these questions matter and provide unbiased facts that will allow anyone joining to come to their own well-informed conclusions. \nKeaton Peters is an energy reporter for Straight Arrow News. He brings a narrative-driven flair to energy coverage after spending several years as a freelance journalist. His first spark of interest in journalism came when Peters was a copy editor for his undergraduate student newspaper at the University of California at Berkeley during a period of rigorous debate about the role of the media and free speech on campus. His interests were forged into serious journalistic know-how as a reporting fellow with the Texas Tribune in 2023. Since then\, his freelance work has run in numerous online publications\, newspapers and magazines including Texas Monthly and High Country News. In 2025\, he was recognized as an energy journalism fellow by Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy\, which selected him as one of 20 up-and-coming reporters around the world. \nOriginally from a tiny mountain town in Alpine County\, California\, Peters now reports from Austin\, Texas\, where he earned a Master’s degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin. Outside of the newsroom\, he plays guitar in a local rock band\, runs marathons\, bakes sourdough bread and enjoys spending free time with his wife and their cats.
