Food Coma at Roaring Fork North
Oh. My. Stars. Or some equally astounded proclamation. I ate more food last night at Roaring Fork North than any human should ever eat in one sitting. Going into it, I thought, ah, I’m doing the Spartan 300 Challenge, doing a good job of watching what I eat, I’ll just nibble on some stuff ……
Paramount Summer Movie Series (or, ahhhh Casablanca)
The Summer Classic Film Series at the Paramount starts this Thursday with their classic opener, Casablanca. The Paramount is one of the few theatres still open today which screened Casablanca when it was originally released in 1942–wow! Wikipedia says that the film was a solid, if unspectacular, success in its initial run … and then…

The Memorial Day Post
I’m throwing a bachelorette party this weekend, so I’ve all but written off Memorial Day, which means that in purely selfish interest, I’ve yet to post on the beloved summer kickoff (some call it a holiday to honor our fallen heroes …. psssh). Last year I went big, with a Memorial Day Party barge through…
Third Third Base
Not a typo, but in fact a real brick-and-mortar third Third Base. Opening this July at The Grove in South Park Meadows. I have very few experiences with Third Base OR South Park Meadows (one apiece), so perhaps I am mildly unqualified to comment. But I do know this: Austin must have the fewest sports…
New Celeb Hangout: Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Driving down South Lamar the other day, I spotted a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf sign just after the bridge and thought to myself, “Wow, I saw lots of those in L.A. And you always hear about celebrities popping into them. We’re growing up …” And not two days later, I get a press release…
More free drinks!
Pobrecito El Chilito, no pudo sobrevivir en el centro. Pues, algo bueno pasó porque ahora se tranforme a El Chile! What happened? The little chile couldn’t make it just selling tacos on 8th and Congree, so they expanded it to a full chile selling the same menu as the original and Far West locales. Until…
