Luckily for Austinites, the 2008 International Yoga Champions are coming to Bikram Yoga Davenport to teach this weekend! Starting tonight and heading on into Monday, Ball Rattanapong and Alisa…

(512) Brewery Grand Opening + Tasting

Report: Nike Human Race Training Run

Coworking– it’s all the rage
I know not everyone out there freelances, and not everyone who freelances wishes for coworkers. I am a freelancers but don’t wish for coworkers at all, actually, as I enjoy working by myself. BUT it is fun to be around other creatives and in a work environment, hence the nationwide co-working trend. The other night…
