Austin: Half-Price Sushi at Bar Chi
As the weekend rolls around again, I absolutely must tell you about Bar Chi. It’s on 2nd & Colorado, where the old Yu Sushi Izagaya was. It looks the exact same, but they are doing something no one else downtown is: Late. Night. Happy Hour. 10p-midnight. And all-day Sunday happy hour. And not just $1…
Around the Fitness Horn: All Sorts ‘o Stuff
Five random things I found super-interesting! Thoughts on any? Against Barefoot Running Shoes (I still love them) Acceptance vs Resignation (interesting …) CrossFit is Legit (Press Release about Level 1 cert) Ever-Changing Nutrition Game New Eating Disorders
There are only so many things I can be serious about at once
I got to work out with the lovely Coach Alex Janss’ class last night at CrossFit Central RunTex. She is a great coach and has an easy rapport with her clients, so it was a blast to drop in. The workout, however, featured the elusive handstand pushups. I’ve chronicled my HSPU journey extensively–from slamming my…
JewelMint. I bought it.
JewelMint is the subscription-order jewelry service from Kate Bosworth and her stylist Cher Coulter. Today, I bought the gold rings. But I also really like these other two pieces: Each piece every month is $29.95. If you order TODAY and use the code SAVE50, it’s only $14.95! Click here to go to JewelMint.
I Am Rocky
Hahaha. OK, maybe not all the time, but last night some unfortunate circumstances forced me to work out solo even though I am in Austin and all I wanted was to work out with people again since I work out alone all the time in Aspen! It was a cold, misty, almost-stormy night when I…
Aspen: Venga Venga Slopeside in Snowmass
The latest Richard Sandoval modern Mexican restaurant (click here for a HuffPo article on Sandoval), Venga Venga fills the slopeside void in Snowmass. Literally the slope-iest a restaurant could get, it sits right at the old mall, beckoning you with the promise of margaritas, which somehow sound delicious even when it’s -14 degrees outside. Trust…
Austin: Free Music Week 2011
It’s the last weekend of the annual epic week of free music, so go see a show. For a comprehensive list of showtimes the likes of which I couldn’t find anywhere else, head over to see my friends at Ultra8201.
I Snowboard.
Remember when I learned to ski? Here’s a photo. I’d say learning to snowboard went much better … In all seriousness, I liked snowboarding a lot and picked it up faster than skiing. I felt more confident … don’t know if it’s the strapped-in feet, that I already knew the mountain, or that I had…
Aspen: Pacifica Happy Hour
Pacifica Seafood & Raw Bar has been a want-to-try Aspen restaurant that I haven’t had the chance to sample until I had friends come into town recently. We stopped by for their fantastic if short happy hour (it only runs 4-5:30p!) and got a chance to share and sample some seriously delicious apps. The food…
