Texas Testosterone Festival I’ve already riffed on how sweet I think the Texas Testosterone Festival is gonna be this weekend: bball skills, Spartan 300, MMA fighting, poker tourneys, choppa customization, bikini and fit model contests … yeah, pretty freakin’ sweet.

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…

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”…

Do you need a man? Austin Monthly announces their 10 Most Eligible Bachelors
I just learned about the “Schedule” feature in wordpress, so I can now write posts ahead of time. I know, I’m late to the party, but it’s a pretty awesome discovery. Speaking of parties, Wednesday is full of RSVP-only shindigs, from the Bleet-Up to Austin Monthly’s Bachelor issue release party … so some of you…
