Oh, the gospel brunch is at either Threadgills or Stubbs (they both have one). I'm guessing Threadgills. We've never been there but I've heard good things. There are tons and tons of music spots here (live music capitol of the world and all). I'd just pick up a Chronicle (local weekly) and see who's playing.
I'm not sure what you're definition of hot and scortching is.  You lose all sense of perspective down here. Right now I'd say it's hot, but not too bad. Probably 95 or so. Later this summer it will be 105 or more and that's more intolerable. I'd bring light clothing.
My favorite restaurants here are Chez Zee (slightly fancier with awesome desserts), Opal Divine's (great veggie burgers and fries and drinks), Claypit (Northern Indian fusion), Trudy's (tex-mex), Casa de Luz (all organic vegan- very IBS friendly), Madras Pavillion (Southern Indian, all vegetarian). And like I said, the World Headquarters of Whole Foods is fun- it's a grocery store amusement park with seven or eight built in restaurants.
Walking around Town Lake is a lot of fun and good exercise. If you like movies, the Alamo Drafthouse downtown does awesome film fests and special events. They do a live version of Mystery Science Theatre called Mr Sinus Theatre where comedians make fun of bad films. Alamo is also a full service restaurant (you have to buy tickets in advance cause they always sell out).
Hmm... that's what I've got for the moment!
Edited: Oh and many Austinites will be quick to state that Austin is nothing like the rest of the state.
