Max Juren is vying for YouTube stardom. Granted, this means heยs competing with sleep-running dogs, kids getting kicked by breakdancers and a guy named Old Gregg pursuing a hipster. (By the way, if you havenยt seen these, Google them now, ยcause they are hi-lar-i-ous). But Juren holds his own. Under the username ยjaxneuron,ย the Austinite has garnered a small following with irreverent and off-kilter skits ร la Adult Swimยs Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Imagine a surfer-looking dude re-enacting the ยLetยs Get Togetherย scene from The Parent Trap, riding Falcor from The Neverending Story and starring in commercials for Heinz Ketchup and Lone Star Beer. See these and more of Jurenยs email forward-worthy contenders when he screens a selection of clips from his recently released DVD. 8 p.m. Domy Books, 1709 Westheimer.
