Thank goodness for tailgating! You wouldn’t really know it’s fall in Austin without hordes of burnt-orange-clad revelers crowding the streets of campus. Three of my top picks (two are recurring, one is this weekend only): La Condesa’s awesome tailgate 17th & Congress from 12 pm – 6 pm for all home games FREE Grilled Mexican Street Corn and…

My Generation (Fall TV)
Tonight, ABC will premiere My Generation – a new scripted drama set in Austin, Texas. And filmed at my high school! Maybe not a lot of awesome has come out of that school (except me, and my bro) but this show actually has made quite a splash with pre-reviewers. It’s kind of expected to be…
WINNER! $75!
Amy, who said at 3:33pm (must be lucky): OOh definitely kitchen tools! I moved recently so would love some new pans as I tossed my old ones. Alright, so she’s definitely not as funny as some of you (Mom, with the Ninja comment. Jordan who wants pancakes and bacon. Carolyn who may or may not…
Austin: FREE Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Some day, I’m going to stop apologizing for always posting on Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. It’s just that they’re so GOOD, and so easy to work at or meet friends at or stop in at … I just freakin’ love them. Stop by after work today–or, if you’re like me, for your mid-day pick…
Giveaway! WIN $75 from thisislifeinaustin/aspen!
Cross your fingers for me … we’re looking at a fab apartment in Aspen with a high bar-table … what some call “bistro sets.” Even if we don’t snag that apartment (apartments in Aspen are IMPOSSIBLE, btw), we could buy a sweet table (or at least part of one) IF we won the lifeinaustin/aspen giveaway…
Austin: Four Seasons Dive in Movie [updated]
The Blind Side is ONLY my favorite movie ever. It has surpassed Top Gun, and nothing had surpassed Top Gun since I saw it in 1995. Or somewhere around then. Anyway, this fall the Four Seasons is hosting Dive in Movies (like Deep Eddy’s, only better, because it’s the FOUR SEASONS) where you can lounge…

After happy hour where I plan on trying some new Thirsty Planet beer. Yep, Austin has a new brewery–Thirsty Planet–that has three beers: a super-hoppy Buckethead IPA (I won’t be trying that), a 50/50 barley/red wheat Yellow Armadillo, and a malty Thirsty…
Salutation Nation
Everyone knows lulu is de rigeur for CrossFitters. But the company actually started for yogis, so it’s MORE apropos that they host Salutation Nation, this Saturday from 9-10am. Like the Nike Human Race with less competing and matching tees, thousands of people across North America will take their asana practice outside for a complimentary class…
