I’ve raved about TRIO more times than probably any other restaurant, but it isn’t necessarily a low-budget night out. Enter Happy Hour. Now one of the city’s finest restaurants and wine-spots is offering a Happy Hour Monday through Saturday from 5-8pm! 1/2 off appetizers and 1/2 off wines by the glass in the TRIO Wine…

SXSW 2009: Saturday’s Schedule
I’m in Houston for Beer Bike, our biggest, weirdest event where people start boozing at 6am. But here I am at a Keggs ‘n Eggs party, making sure the good people in Austin know what to do today. I would recommend a Venti Starbucks coffee with whisky, but that’s just me. Anyway, the top 5…

SXSW 2009 – Friday’s Schedule
The biggest two days of your partying life are here. Behold: the Friday of SXSW. Last year, I remember simply giving up on the spreadsheet and wandering the streets, knowing that free food and drinks were available at almost every bar I walked into. But! Don’t give up just yet, because there are some can’t-miss…
SXSW 2009: Thursday’s Schedule
This is the final “calm” before the storm that is Friday & Saturday. And by calm I mean over 80 FREE parties. Right. So, my top 5 today: 1. Paste Magazine, obvi. Still lovin’ the Magic Hat. Brooklyn Vegan co-sponsors this one. 11:30-7, Radio Room 2. All That Sparkles – Glitter party? Noon-8pm, Malverde (mmm…
SXSW 2009: What to Do Wednesday
Today is the first BIG day of day parties, so cube-dwellers can read along jealously for all the fun everyone else will be enjoying: There are two big day parties, two day parties that will be running all week, and one evening-ish boat party that I recommend today: 1) MAGIC HAT BEER PARTY! Oh, I…
NetParty tomorrow
I don’t know why people try to plan anything when SXSW is going on, but then again, I guess the WHOLE world doesn’t stop turning. Check out what just hit my inbox, then read on for why it’s so funny: You are invited to RSVP For Free Admssion to our Premiere at Union Park through…
SXSW 2009: Tuesday’s Schedule + St. Patty’s Day!
A big day for downtown, to be sure! As far as SXSW goes, not too big of a day though. BMI circulated an email this morning clarifying that even if you RSVPed, unless a BMI employee invited you or you’ve got a badge, you’re not getting in. So scratch Howdy Texas at Stubb’s off your…
SXSW 2009: Monday’s schedule
Here’s your can’t-miss sched, and luckily for all the worker bees, nothing on this one starts ’til 5:30. So you can punch the clock AND party like it’s SXSW 2009 all in one day. 5:30pm – If you were lucky enough to score an invite to the Statesman’s food bloggers party, do it. Whole Foods.…
Erin Patton of Jordan and Starbury Fame Speaks
Sunday at Noon. This flyer says it best: I think a church is sponsoring it, but regardless of religious affiliation, it should be an engaging and interesting talk. Especially for anyone complete unmotivated by the SXSW hype!
