Yelp Open Party: Resolution Revolution

Man, I love yelp.com. Once again they’re hosting an open party with free drinks, food, and swag. Only this time the free drinks are Treaty Oak rum and some other vodka I’ve never heard of and FREE SUGAR MAMA’S CUPCAKES. I apologize for the screaming, but you know what Sugar Mama’s cupcakes do to me. [...]

3 Ms: New Bars I Haven’t Checked Out

In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving break, I’m rounding up three new bars I haven’t been to yet, but would love to check out if I had the time. I hear the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is a great night for partying–less if you’re driving to Houston the next day (me), but still …
Malaia – a [...]

Sunday’s Gluten Clash

Presuming Ike doesn’t cancel everything–and that’s a big presumption, since the UT-Arkansas game is already off (though this hoopla continues to amaze me … there’s only a 60% chance of rain tomorrow?!)– this Sunday looks to be a huge Gluten Clash, pitting the gluten-free Got Guts 5K vs. gluten-heavy Italian Festival:
Got Guts 5K Run, Walk [...]

Food and Fashion in Ecuador

I met someone right before I left who said, “Oh, the food in Ecuador is wonderful!” Now, people say that about Spain and I wholeheartedly disagree (I don´t like jamon, so I´m sort of screwed), but here the food is pretty delicious. Right now we´re on the coast, so we´re chowing down on super fresh, [...]

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 [...]

Dancing on West Sixth: Impossible?!

West Sixth Street really came into an identity of its own in the last two or three years. Some of the tourists haven’t caught on, and Austin’s burgeoning see-and-be-seen crowd has taken to the west side of Congress for its upscale bars, lounges, and restaurants. West Sixth is the antithesis to the craziness that spills [...]

Spill

So there’s this club in Austin called Spill. The Real World cast made it famous when they would go get drunk and get into fights at Spill … so naturally, Austinites worth their salt (and over the age of 21, because many of the patrons of Spill are not in fact over 21) avoid Spill [...]
