sportsBY MARK FAGANlistingsLXM ProThe LXM Pro tour brings together two Austin faves: live music and sports.The sport featured here is lacrosse, not quite as popular as football orbaseball in these parts, but that’s as good a reason as any to go out andsee what all the hubbub’s about. If our country can become entranced withcurling, we’ve certainly got a little room in our hearts for lacrosse. The daywill feature a Lone Star Show down grudge match between UT and Texas A&M;a showcase game featuring 40 of the world’s best lacrosse players; livemusic from Carolina Lair, L.A.X., and Bright Light Social Hour (recentlyvoted Best Indie Band in The Austin Chronicle’s 2009-10 Music Poll); andmore.
