First Night
I have an existing post with things to do on New Year’s Eve, but after reading this article on First Night, I had to give it its own post. Click here to read. Basically, the giant 32-foot wooden clock tower on Auditorium Shores is for you to pin your resolutions to, and then after fireworks…

3 Ms: New Bars I Haven’t Checked Out
In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving break, I’m rounding up three new bars I haven’t been to yet, but would love to check out if I had the time. I hear the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is a great night for partying–less if you’re driving to Houston the next day (me), but still … Malaia –…
I quote: “Free drinks and art viewing”

Wed: ACVB Cocktail Throwdown!
Because the Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau is who it is, it can host events like the upcoming Cocktail Throwdown that will crown an “official Austin cocktail.” Last year, Lambert’s owned the rights, this year KGSR’s Bryan Beck will host the competition, presented by PRA Destination Management, to name a new restaurant-bartender-drink the cocktail of…
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…
Blues on the Green + Volleyball
Summer is Austin isn’t complete without Blues on the Green. 107.1 KGSR brings some of the best local artists to Zilker Park for free outdoor concerts. It’s a beautiful, Austin-y thing. This year the lineup is pretty stellar! Concerts go from 7:30-9:30. Add in some sand volleyball, and I can’t imagine anything better. The normal…
