Thursday Scion House Party

Frankly, I’m confused about this Scion House Party thing. I know they’re supposed to be the pulse of the U.S. underground dance movement, but this House Party is at Beauty Bar … oh, you mean House like the music? Gah, I’m such a music dummy. Is anyone else going to see Sublime cover band Badfish…

Networking 101

The Young Execs of Austin and Austin Recruiters Network Party Meet, mingle and network at Malaia. Despite the fact that I railed on Malaia on twitter this weekend for having a GLASS second floor, it IS pretty cool, so long as you’re wearing pants.

Jo’s Chili Cold Blood Chili Cook-Off

Name? Don’t get it. Related to the band that plays? Whatevs, because Chili Cook Offs in general, I get. And love. [Well, used to, before I only ate free-range meat, which I doubt most chili-makers are employing these days. And I already missed the vegetarian chili cook-off…] Highlights: Local musicians featuring Chili Cold Blood, HoneyBread,…

Free beauty products!!

I read this on fashionista.com, and then went to the actual class action lawsuit site behind it. Apparently TOMORROW you can head to Dillard’s, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and/or Saks Fifth Avenue for one free product of the ones listed below. Too bad it’s not today, when lots of people have off of work! Because…

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…
