That’s pretty much was Kidnapped by Craigslist was. [Best of Craigslist is a nationwide compilation of funny posts, look on the lefthand side of the craigslist screen for it] I went to this play on Friday night with two girl friends, and we were thoroughly entertained. The theater isn’t much, but the people were super…

Lululemon Yoga Potluck
So yoga-clothing store Lululemon is having an event celebrating healthy living and eating! It’s a healthy potluck, with snacks brought in from Castle Hill Fitness Cafe (delish but expensive, though they’re free here) and hopefully some dishes by yoga-loving Austinites! Stop by anytime between 2 & 5 pm. You can also go to lululemon (3700…
Girly Movie Night in the Park
So I’ve been talking about free, non-drinking things to do, and I discover this round of Movies in the Park. It makes me laugh, though, because it’s the first I’ve heard of extraordinarily girly movies being shown in parks. Normally movies that appeal to both sexes are the ideal, but I guess we’ll see if…
A Play about Craigslist?!
If you know me at all, you know how much I love craigslist. I love the jobs, I love the apartment/real estate search, I love the groups, I love the activities, and most of all, I love the missed connections! So imagine my surprise, delight, and wonder when I read that there’s a play about…
Cheap/Free No Eating/Drinking Activities
These are some tough criteria! But I’ve been pondering this for awhile, ever since I trekked to SIX lounge for a cute guy I met who bartends there. “Going out” is easy. Everyone does it. So you can conceivably arrange to meet organically, with minimal effort, while you’re out. Or at a restaurant. It’s low-commitment,…
The Master Cleanse
Along with three friends, I am embarking on the Master Cleanse. While this doesn’t necessarily have to do with life in Austin, I don’t think I’d ever make this decision if I weren’t here. When I moved back home to Austin after I graduated college, within a year I was almost vegetarian (eating only free-range…
Nike Human Race
The Nike Human Race has gotten a lot of coverage, especially locally because Austin is one of just five North American cities and one of 25 cities across the globe to host one. Nike expects 1 million runners to participate in this worldwide 10K on August 31. I signed up today–I’ll be one of those…
Youuuuuuu! Soulja Boy & co to Austin!
Soulja Boy, Lil Boosie, Lil Wil, and Paul Wall are playing next weekend for a mere $20! I’m so excited–this is the kind of concert that happens in Houston all the time, but rarely makes it to Austin. It’s part of the Custom Sounds Heatwave Car Show at the Travis County Expo Center. I’m also…
I’ve got a Thursday/Friday agenda!
Hipsters, go: Thursday … 6-8pm: Tribeza happy hour at Valentine’s Too (3801 N Capital of Texas Hwy in Davenport Village). Complimentary hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and wine from Davenport Liquor plus prizes including gift certificates to the Four Seasons Hotel and Viva Chocolato make for an excellent evening/shopping affair Providing for Paws … 6-8:30pm: A new…
I <3 Sabia
There are some things I don’t get about Austin. Like today when I was trying to find DaVine Foods for some sprouted grain pizza, and I stumbled into the Enchanted Forest where a man was welding some things and didn’t notice me as I walked by four times looking hopelessly out of place. Only in…
