It's getting to be where every event in Austin requires or gives a discount
for a food bank donation as part or all of the admission cost. Several
events I've been to at the convention/event centers in the last 6 months
have given $1/off admission for 2 cans. Admission to this Sunday's Austin
Hot Sauce Festival is "Three healthy, non-perishable food donations" (or
cold hard cash).

And I'm fresh out of spare cans. But I get admission with my $10 hot sauce
entry (a wing sauce) and they throw in a t-shirt, too.
