Last night, a team of us (okay, just me and two guys–gotta protect myself!) went to Mansion of Terror, the haunted house that’s billed as the scariest in Austin. And the #8 in the nation. Or the #1 by Lions Gate Films. Who knew film companies rated haunted houses? Anyway, it’s good. So good that…

Magazine Throwdown Thursday
Are you a Tribeza girl or Austin Monthly man? Because AM is hosting not one but TWO events this Thursday, while the ‘Bez is hosting just one event, and I’m not even sure the drinks are free this time around! Two of the events are just one block apart … oh the drama! Deets: Tribeza…
Haunted Pub Crawls Galore!
TWO Haunted Pub Crawls?! There’s one Saturday and Sunday, so pick your poison or scare yourself silly and go to both: Saturday: Haunted House Pub Crawl There are two main draws to the Haunted House Pub Crawl: Mansion of Terror (supposed to be the scaries in Austin) and drinks on the bus. $50 ticket includes:…

Techno Tuesday
So I’m not a big fan of techno. I know there are cooler–and more specific–terms for it, but I just call it all techno. House, trance, drum-n-bass, whatever. It’s techno. (Electronic music is the proper term, alright? please don’t send me hate mail) BUT I have some good friends who are djs and obviously love…
Hope Uncorked at Saks Fifth Avenue
Saks isn’t usually my post-work happy hour spot, but tonight they’re hosting a winetasting called Hope Uncorked to benefit Fertile Hope of Austin. The benefit is from 5-8pm, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting Fertile Hope of Austin. The Executive Director of Fertile Hope in NYC, Lindsay Nohr Beck, will be there too. The event…
Breakfast at Embellish
I don’t know who this Michele Whoever designer is, nor what she’s selling at this trunk show (er, um, jewelry). All I know is that I popped in to Embellish once just to see what it was all about, and I fell in love. I haven’t even had my nails done there and I still…
Networking Tonight & Tomorrow
The Austin Internet Marketing Mixer sounds cool: laid-back mingling with other internet-savvy types, exchanging business cards, meeting new people. Don’t know much more about it … if you go, report back to me!

This event is family friendly and will include drinks, food, raffle, silent auction and live music by Hilary York, Graham Wilkinson, Boxcar Preachers, Lost…
Tidbits or Tribeza? Tough Thursday!
I LOVE Austin Tidbits parties. They’re rare (quarterly?), obviously causing them to be more exciting than Tribeza parties, and they usually have fab gift bags and super-fashiony people, making them way more exciting. Not that Tribeza parties don’t have fashiony people–and I will say they draw a fair man-crowd, whereas Tidbits men are randoms off…
