Tonight is Kanye West’s Glow in The Dark Tour with Rhianna concert at the Erwin Center, and if I weren’t so committed to playing sand volleyball, I’d go. Ok, ok, if I had bought the $70 tickets right when they came out, I’d go, but since that’s not the case, I will be playing sand [...]

Costco Liquors vs. Spec’s
I’m hosting a Kentucky Derby party on Saturday afternoon–more because it was a good excuse to get dressed up than because I’m super-into the Derby itself–so I set out on my buying liquor mission yesterday. Before Spec’s came to town, Costco Liquors was THE cheapest place to buy liquor (and a small selection of beer [...]

Craigslist loves the Boom Boom Room!
I was thrilled to find this missed connections post on craigslist: http://austin.craigslist.org/mis/658406389.html
It could have been us! My girlfriend (platonic) and I are magnets for this sort of thing (the one guy-two girls sort of thing? I don’t know exactly what a this sort of thing is), except that for once in our lives we didn’t [...]

Review: Phil’s Icehouse
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m way behind the times. Phil’s Icehouse caused quite a stir when it came on the Burnet Road scene (at the very beginning of a Burnet Road scene even existing) because of its mini burgers, funky decor, shared space with Amy’s Ice Creams, and playscape out front.
Today I shared lunch there with [...]

Review: Sago Modern Mexican
Based on cocktails and appetizers alone, Sago was delicious! Their signature Z-Martini is a spicy-sweet number sweetened with agave nectar–low on the GI scale, so less of an impact on your blood sugar!–and it even has little pieces of crushed jalapeno floating throughout! We also tried a martini whose name I can’t remember, sort of [...]

Top Billing: Sago Modern Mexican opening!
6:00-7:30pm … Sponsored by Austin Monthly and featuring free apps and martinis, the launch of this new restaurant in the Triangle should be an awesome event.

Austin Monthly is also hosting a trunk show/event at Ven [...]

What to do on Wednesday
Wednesday this week is offering a doubleheader of athletic options. There’s always SoCo Run Club, the awesome run club I won’t stop talking about, but now there’s a new competitor: Wednesday pickup volleyball at Zilker.
So, there’s a friend of mine who started the meetup.com volleyball group (you can access it through atxvb.com too … he’s [...]

Free eco-friendly bags!
Today being Earth Day and all, area HEBs are passing out free reusable bags in exchange for just 5 plastic bags! Stop by from 3-7 and become a part of the reusable bag trend.
I have about 7 reusable bags, mainly because once I bring them in the condo it takes me awhile to remember to [...]

Networking happy hours
As I have experienced the business world–and do take into account that my business is the media–I have come to the conclusion that it is almost entirely about who you know. That said, if you know someone but the quality of your work is shoddy, it won’t help you at all. But frankly, if you [...]
