Summer in Austin features tons of free concerts, movies, and other events in the great outdoors. Really, this doesn’t quite make sense since it’s hot, hot, hot in the summer, but hey, I guess we give balmy summer nights a chance to work their magic. First stop on the balmy summer night tour? 101x & [...]

Weekly, the ATXVB Meetup Group plays at the Krieg Complex, known before as the softball fields off Pleasant Valley and Riverside. Wednesdays from [...]

I am Daycationing
I am laying by the pool at the Four Seasons on a Daycation. Yes, it’s overcast and not particularly hot, but I am determined to make laying out by the pool part of this experience, so here I am, clad in a new ViX swimsuit typing away at the laptop.
What is a daycation? It’s a [...]

This, my friends, is all you need for SXSW. It is a spreadsheet of the best parties.
The criteria:
-Free
-Free booze / food / cool stuff
There are a million and a half lists out there with free parties. Most focus on music. This is not what I care about. I care about swag. And good times. Music [...]

Best movie ever: Growing Out
My movie opens today in LA! So I’m a little biased: I did all the costume design for Growing Out, so obviously it’s the best movie ever. But it is a seriously good movie, fun and scary, weird and smart … it’s pretty cool, and worth checking out. (Click here to buy it from amazon [...]

Bikram – The Hot – Yoga
So I skipped run club in favor of Bikram Yoga with my girls. Of course, I was late, so it’s not like we hung out, but still, it’s a cute idea. Sweating together.
