Premiere Calendar? Inside Scoops? Online recording? Obviously I’ll love the new interactive Fall TV Microsite that TiVo just launched. I mean, I almost MISSED the 90210 premiere, which was intense and packed with drama. Liam is back?! And he loves Naomi?! And how does Adriana look SO much hotter this season than last? Like, she…

Thursday Tidbits, Tweetups, Trailers, and Temptation (buy your date)
This Thursday is jam-packed with things to do. After an amazing birthday dinner at Olivia, that date and I are headed back Thursday for a patio party with drinks and appetizers celebrating their Bon Appetit Top Ten Best New Restaurants IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY nod. Since I was too busy stuffing my face with mussels,…
The Weekend Usual: Free CrossFit & Sugar Mama’s
You know, the Free CrossFit Workout Central holds Under the Bridge at Town Lake once a month on Saturday morning at 8:30am. Details here. And you also know how much I love Sugar Mama’s cupcakes, so you might call me obsessing over how delicious they are “usual” too, but it’s UNusual for them to be…
Imperia 2nd Anniversary Party – Free Cocktails & Sushi
I can hardly believe it was 2 years ago that I hit up Imperia’s grand opening–and almost immediately bounced because it was SO CROWDED. One of my fave happy hour joints sure knows how to throw a party, but I can only hope for my own sake (and the sake of my free-sushi-loving-wallet) that this…
Party with Nerds: Software Advice Rolls Out Its Own Welcome Mat
I love the invite to this party, with gems like “Looks like someone at City Hall forgot to organize a parade for us …” I mean, sometimes I feel that way. Like when I first got my pullups in CrossFit, where was my parade?! Anyway, Software Advice, a free online resource for software buyers, has…

If you haven’t heard, Lavender is so your color … or it will be tomorrow, when Sagra hosts a Lavender-Fest-filled FREE DINNER starting at 4pm. Chef Gabriel Pellegrini is serving a free family-style meal, with every course featuring lavender. They’ll serve food until the kitchen runs out. Bring some spending cash for $4 house wine…
Teacher Thursday: The Lennings
When adorable drummer Ross, huband of blogger at last week’s Bleet Up, started telling me about his band The Lennings and how they have this great new EP, Geographic Tongue, I gave him my familiar line: “sounds cool, but I don’t really cover music unless it’s got another angle to it, or I think it’s…
Andy Warhol’s Birthday and More Bananas
Thursday, August 6th marks the 81st anniversary of Andy Warhol’s birth. Don’t know why it’s a banana and certainly not AW style, but this birthday party thrown by Massive Beacon, the organizers of ATX Emerge and ATX Converge features free pizza, on-site “live garment printing,” and potentially free booze, so who’d complain? A good way…
Austin Young Chamber of Commerce + ’80s Membership Mixer
A few months ago, I got an email alerting me that the Austin Young Chamber of Commerce is now live and accepting members: www.austinyc.org. With so many organizations out there, what makes the AYC unique? One of the founders and a friend of mine, Johnny Rodgers, promises AYC will foster business to business relationships as…
“She is one of the few couture milliners in the US.”
If that doesn’t interest you in an event invite, I don’t know what will. And just because sometimes we’re not Texan enough in keep-it-weird-but-cool-and-not-all-that-hick-stuff Austin, Second Street staple Beyond Tradition is hosting a cowboy culture event from 6-9pm this Wednesday. The event centers on two designers. The first, Critic’s Choice for “Best Home Accessories Designer”…
