Name? Don’t get it. Related to the band that plays? Whatevs, because Chili Cook Offs in general, I get. And love. [Well, used to, before I only ate free-range meat, which I doubt most chili-makers are employing these days. And I already missed the vegetarian chili cook-off…] Highlights: Local musicians featuring Chili Cold Blood, HoneyBread,…

Free beauty products!!
I read this on fashionista.com, and then went to the actual class action lawsuit site behind it. Apparently TOMORROW you can head to Dillard’s, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and/or Saks Fifth Avenue for one free product of the ones listed below. Too bad it’s not today, when lots of people have off of work! Because…
Circuit City Liquidation! + St. Bernard Sale
Not that bankruptcy is ever really a good thing (for the economy, the company’s workers, so on and so on), but for consumers in need of a computer, camera, printer, etc., Circuit City’s announcement today that it is officially going kaput is a little bit exciting. Circuit City has apparently hired four liquidation companies to…
Weekend Watch: free yoga, crazy marathoners, and grand openings
lululemon on 6th & Lamar does free yoga classes taught by rotating instructors from around the city every Saturday morning, but they’re usually way too early for me. This time, however, they’re honoring the two crazy Canadians who are running a marathon a day to help save the environment, and they’re gonna be there doing…
Austin Kidbits / Hill Country Ride Kick-Off Party
Thursday are perking back up after that nobody-does-anything-at-all lull over the holidays. Next week is going to be even bigger! Still, these two should keep you happy (houring). Hill Country Ride for Aids 10th Anniversary Kick-Off Party at La Zona Rosa. It’s for the Hill Country Ride for AIDS, a signature Austin event and the…
A little taste of absinthe
When Peche opened on Fourth in the old Malaga spot, I was excited to try some absinthe. Not because I have ever particularly cared about absinthe, but because who doesn’t want to try something entirely new? Right off, I loved the atmosphere. The wall behind the bar is library shelves of liquor with silver ladders…
Au40 Happy Hour
Au40 Nominations Roundup tonight at Paggi House, co-sponsored by Tribeza. I posted on Austin Under 40 a little while back, but I still think it’s pretty cool and worth checking out tonight–plus who doesn’t want to see the new Paggi House? RSVP here. I will be attending a leadership planning meeting for the awesome upcoming…
Fashion Genius for Fashion Week
I know I pimp the heck out of Dogeared, but I really just love them. And while we’re not going to be trekking around in the snow running from tent to tent at any Fashion Week any time soon, I really love this updated fanny pack (call it what it is!), a hipster bag with…
First Love Second Chance Casting in Austin!
I have a very strict don’t date exes policy–after all, if it failed the first time, why would it work the second? Then again, I think I’ve dated most of my exes a good three or four times … So when this came through my email, I had to post: TV LAND’S FIRST LOVE, SECOND…
Celebs love Houstonite Alexandra Knight
Last night on the Golden Globes red carpet entrance and interview, Austin-loving Sandra Bullock was snapped carrying this turquoise alligator clutch from Houston designer Alexandra Knight. The classic Magnolia-style clutch is one of the Alexandra Knight’s best-sellers, and Sandy’s turquoise is spot-on for Spring trends. And this isn’t the first time Bullock has carried an…
