Many sports around the world are played internationally, but only one has gone interplanetary. In 1971, U.S. astronaut Alan Shepard hit two golf balls on the moonā€™s surface with an improvised six-iron, making golf the first and only sport to have been played on the moon. The first lunar hole-in-one, however, is still a prize to be sought after.

SWISS COWBELLS

Weā€™ve made it back from our adventure with Switzerland Tourism and are still dreaming of those luscious mountain-filled landscapes. Dexter may even be wearing a Swiss cowbell for the rest of the summer. Thereā€™s so much weā€™re excited to sift through and share with you, so stay tuned for some amazing Alpine adventures in the months to come!

OFFBEAT MUSICAL PLACES

An opera house in the middle of the jungle? How about a music store where exotic animals are part of the gig? For our feature in The Music Issue our friends at Whalebone let us (foot)loose to round up a cacophony of uniquely wonderful and weird musical destinations. So put on your headphones and get groovy.

ASTEROID CITY PREMIERE

We left the NYC Premiere of Asteroid City starry-eyed, and now weā€™re counting down the seconds to our AWA community screenings in LA, London, and NYC. (Itā€™s so nice, youā€™ll want to see it twice.) More on that below.

From the Community

ā€œWhat makes an AWA photo?ā€ is likely the most common FAQ that gets tossed our way. It also happens to be the hardest question to answer because there are SO many different ways to answer it, but the Imitative Photography team has put together a delightful short film describing some of the main things we keep our eyes peeled for while browsing through submissions.

Crescent Moon Theater šŸ“ Kanab, Utah šŸ“ø Chiara Bolognesi

When Paula Zutesā€™ husband Duncan passed away, she knew exactly how to celebrate his memory. A self-described ā€œCowboy Theaterā€, the Crescent Moon Theater embodies everything Duncan ā€“ a real-life cowboy ā€“ loved about Western culture and entertainment. Nestled against the bucolic backdrop of Utah, itā€™s the perfect popcorn-filled pasture to rest up oneā€™s bootsā€¦
