Being a faux celeb, I’m certainly not going to do what the tourists are prescribed to do!… except, that, I want to see all the good stuff in a mere three days and there’s a reason the tourists do what they do. There’s a Norway tour called Norway in a Nutshell that takes you from Oslo…
Waaaaaay back in 2009, I wrote a post called Top Ten Things to Do in Austin … the list still stands as an excellent guide, but as I spend a wedding long weekend in town with locals and not, I thought I’d make a list of things I want to do this weekend. To be clear, this…
So much going on in Austin this Easter Weekend! 1. Euphoria Music Fest For the deets and a discount, go here. 2. Grilled Cheese Week Tillamook Grilled Cheese Week / Loaf Love Tour, the third annual cross-country mobile sampling tour dedicated to bringing tasty cheese to the people, eight local restaurants have created a unique grilled cheese:…
A funny thing has happened to SXSW, which I started to write about in last year’s SXSW wrap-up post: it has tipped. That is, it is no longer a little festival for the geeks of three respective industries, it’s a destination festival for an unheard-of combination of (startup) companies, corporations, and consumers (aka Spring Breakers).

Last year I was super psyched to go to X Games and really surprised no one would go with me! … then I went. … and now, I will probably not ever go again either. (I also happen to be in Park City this weekend, yay!) It’s awesome, yes, that X Games are in Aspen.…
Aspen loves Fourth of July more than most cities. As always, there will be fireworks on Aspen mountain. Which I can see from my porch [brag]. AWESOME! For the other fun:
Saturday: Hops From 2-5 pm, taste your favorite (512) Ales plus the newly re-released Belgian Style Strong Ale (512) ONE.2 . Get three free tastes. Buy a pint glass for $5 and your new glass becomes the tasting glass (bigger tastes). I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Pecan Porter (pictured) but I’m pretty sure it’s a winter…
It’s this weekend, kids. If you didn’t have the $1,185 to buy the big tickets, or even the $295 to buy a 1-day pass (steal! if that’s your cup of tea anyway), you can still enjoy the Food & Wine melee with the rest. Word on the street is that there are over 100 private…
I was so unbelievably confused when someone tweeted about a Cinco de Mayo party I posted, because I didn’t post any. But then I took a look at my stats, saw that LAST YEAR’s Cinco post already had 129 hits YESTERDAY, and realized what happened. So, you overzealous Cinco de Mayo revelers, here is THIS…
You all probably know about Thrillist by now – the Daily Candy for dudes that chicks dig too. I dig it because the Austin Thrillist dude knows about everything cool before or at the same time as me–which never ceases to impress me. Anyway, the site is hosting a nationwide Bar Madness Sweepstakes – a…
