The Bachelor issue launches tonight at Gibson Guitar showroom at Penn Field. It’s an RSVP-only shindig with free food from Cuba Libre and Imperia and free drinks from Bombay Sapphire. Last time I went to one of their issue releases, they were pretty strict on the guestlist, so it’s not a party I’d recommend crashing.…

Moving … to Brykerwoods
It’s a new ‘hood, kids! I’ve been a little MIA lately because of the big move, and I just wanted to let you guys know a few things about moving. 1) I’m in a new neighborhood, within walking distance of Kerbey Lane, SNOW PEA!!!, Central Market, Randall’s, Brick Oven, Flying Tomato, etc. Expect some new…
Networking: The Outlaw List + Mashable
So I went to an Acton MBA luncheon Friday (the entrenpreneurial MBA, they say), and I met some cool people, one of whom runs a list for young professionals called The Outlaw List. His last name is seriously Outlaw–how cool is that? Anyway, the list is all about networking–apparently Mr. Outlaw himself is a networker…
Athenian Grill (Re)Opens Downtown
More food torture for me: Apparently everyone loved the old Athenian Grill (closed for about 2 years now?) and is super-excited about the new one opening up at 6th and Congress, across from Ruth’s Chris. This Tuesday was its first day back in business, and the folks over at chowhound are already all over it,…
2nd Street District Sale Tonight
I tried to refrain from writing about this because, well, it seems like the 2nd Street District is ALWAYS hosting shopping extravaganzas, so that doesn’t really make it all that newsworthy. But after recieving my 10th email about the dang thing, I thought I might as well post it, in case one of you savvy shoppers…
Snoop D-O-double-G sold out?!
311 and Snoop Dogg are playing next weekend (Aug 2 & 3) at the Backyard, and I just tried to buy tickets … Saturday appears to be sold out! Sunday’s concert is at 6:30, so snag tickets while you can if you’re into the Gin-n-Juice. Also, tomorrow night Future Clouds & Radar play at Antone’s.…
Moonshine
Since all I want to do is eat some solid food (Day 9 of the Cleanse), I’m going to go ahead and torture myself and talk about Moonshine. The Third-and-Red-River hotspot has the best of many worlds–business/tourist traffic with the Convention Center and downtown and local traffic for the downtown reason and because it’s just…
Biking in the Car Lane!
Today is monumental. Today I biked in the car lane. I took my mom’s loaner hybrid (a red Gary Fisher Nirvana, for bike nerds) to the Gold’s Gym on 6th & Congress, about a 2-mile trek from my house that involves biking down either 5th or 6th Street. Last time I chose 6th Street, but…
