Third Third Base

Not a typo, but in fact a real brick-and-mortar third Third Base. Opening this July at The Grove in South Park Meadows.
I have very few experiences with Third Base OR South Park Meadows (one apiece), so perhaps I am mildly unqualified to comment. But I do know this: Austin must have the fewest sports bars [...]

Friday night with the Austin SSC

I have spent many a Saturday morning with the venerable sports and social club, but that’s more sports than social. Turn the norm on its head with a Friday night Social–doesn’t hurt that you could potentially win vodka for a year:
It’s about time for a social event that anyone can attend, regardless of whether you [...]

lululemon offers Free Fitness

Weird Wednesdays are back at lululemon, starting this afternoon with Brooke’s Bootcamp on top of Whole Foods from 6:30-7:30pm. Don’t know what Brooke’s Bootcamp entails, but sounds fun, and who wouldn’t want to hit the WF salad bar afterward?
Today also marks the first day you can shop lululemon online, so all you online-shopping-addicts (erm, uh, [...]

Friday Night Bikes (& Guinness)

Ride your bike to Mellow Johnny’s, pay $10, and be rewarded with apps, wine, and watching Lance peddle in Cali. I didn’t like the shop the one time I went, but now that I know the Juan Pelota joke, I can’t help but promote anything to do with it.

Ends just in time to peddle over [...]

Spring Football Tournament

Like you guys don’t know how much I love football, but I think everyone should play in Austin Sports & Social’s upcoming Spring Tournament! It’s just two weeks away and registration ends this Wednesday! [And everyone should play Blondes vs. Brunettes–OBVIOUSLY! Awesome charity fundraising powderpuff football game)
After a hiatus of free beer during the tournament [...]

Circuit City Liquidation! + St. Bernard Sale

Not that bankruptcy is ever really a good thing (for the economy, the company’s workers, so on and so on), but for consumers in need of a computer, camera, printer, etc., Circuit City’s announcement today that it is officially going kaput is a little bit exciting.
Circuit City has apparently hired four liquidation companies to handle [...]

Never too early to plan for New Year’s Eve

I’ve never been big into New Year’s Eve–too much money for the same bars I can go to any other night and not pay bajillion-dollar covers and wait in lines. I had friends go to a concert on NYE once, and even that I deigned to join for the same reason. I’ll happily attend house [...]

Golf Fashion Show or Achachay! at Red Eyed Fly?

Though I have long professed to hate golf, the last time I went to the driving range I’ll admit to having a lot of fun. For ladies who like to hit the links, Golfsmith is having its second Women’s Night tonight featuring a women-only shopping experience. The Arboretum store will have a fashion show, wine, [...]
