Fusebox Festival
Fusebox Festival is an annual festival of contemporary performance works (dance and theater) held in Austin, Texas, each spring. Founded in the mid-2000s, Fusebox is one of multiple interdisciplinary festivals that sprouted in the United States in the 2000s and was modeled on the Portland Time-Based Art Festival. In turn, Fusebox inspired other festivals, including the CounterCurrent Festival in Houston and Live Arts Exchange in Los Angeles. The festival is known for supporting local artists. It is part of an Austin city planning initiative to revitalize a 24-acre former airplane fueling facility into a creative district. Fusebox has grown from an original audience of 500 attendees in 2004 to 250,000 in its seventh festival, in 2011. In the mid-2010s, Fusebox made its shows free to attract a wider audience.

Tito's Handmade Vodka is a vodka brand made by Fifth Generation, founded by Tito Beveridge in 1997 in Austin, Texas – specializing in vodka made from yellow corn, rather than potatoes or wheat. It is distilled 6 times and unaged. Marketing its brand as ''Tito's Handmade Vodka'', the company originally craft-distilled its products in copper pot stills at Texas' first legal distillery.

Now made in a facility with ten-floor-to-ceiling stills and equipment bottling 500 cases an hour, the brand recorded a sales volume of approximately 3.8 million 9-liter cases in the United States as of 2016 and a market share of 7.1% of the United States Vodka market as of 2017.
