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…
C3 Outfitters Sale
You know how much I love shopping. But I’m wary of a random event that just pops up and won’t tell you what brands it’s selling, but says they’re something you’ll like. That’s like going to a flea market that offers discounted Wal-Mart clothes and hearing them tell me the same. This led me to…
“This is going to be the next big Austin restaurant”

After a stop at La Condesa…
Olivia, Uchi, and Weddings
What do Olivia, Uchi, and weddings have in common? Well, the first two are two of the best restaurants in town, and the third is a place where I found the best wedding cake and my new fave app. So food is what we have in common here, glorious, delicious food. Olivia the locally-sourced, Michael…
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…
Magazines host wedding days
Gone are the days when you hear radio commercials touting the Bridal Extravaganza at Palmer Events Center, and the clueless bride thought that was her only resource for everything wedding. Last week, Finch hosted an in-store, this week mags are getting in on the action with RARE and Tribeza both sponsoring events. Invites and deets…
