You can take the girl out of country but you can’t take country out of the girl. I love nothing more than tooling around in the jeep blaring country music and singing along at top volume. Country music is my jam of choice, and of course I love the glitz and glitter of country music’s…

Missing Texas: Crawfish and Texas Country
There are many things I never knew were Texan until I left—saying “fixin’ to”, describing distances in minutes instead of miles, making small talk with grocery store cashiers—but there were others I knew I’d miss: Texas country, crawfish (it may be Cajun but we host Crawfish Boils like no one else, even when it’s 1,000…
Tuesday: Fun, Sexy, Strappy
It’s almost like the commercials for My Bloody Valentine (The Perfect date movie: fun, sex, terror), minus any terror. Collectic Home is hosting an art unveiling tomorrow night, so check it out if you’re into that sort of thing (details after I marvel over Aces Lounge’s new offerings below) … So who knew Aces Lounge…

I’m exhausting just thinking about this weekend, and it hasn’t even started yet! Apparently Austin does Labor Day big.

Report: Nike Human Race Training Run
So last night I finally made it to Guero’s for the Nike Human Race training run! It was packed in the Guero’s annex, and the line was long to register. They say the run starts at 7:00, but we didn’t get going til 7:15 or so. I should preface the story I’m about to tell…
Los Lonely Boys at Blues on the Green!
Consider this advance warning: Los Lonely Boys are playing Blues on the Green this Wednesday! It’s gonna be badass. Their style is Texican Rock ‘n Roll, which is a fusion of rock, blues, Tejano, country, and a little bit of soul. I LOVE them. Come early and camp it out, it’ll be so worth it–plus…

Austin Wine Festival
I went to the inaugural Austin Wine Festival last year at Republic Square Park and it was incredibly well-run for being in its first year. This year, it moves to The Domain, which bums me out, because the downtown location was a neat touch. BUT being at The Domain affords them other opportunities, like setting…
