Aspen: Gay Ski Week
That is not a joke. I kind of thought it was. Not because gayness is a joke, but because most people don’t host “gay” weeks. But here’s the official site: gayskiweek.com. I’m telling you, Aspen and Austin could not be more alike. People here LOVE gay ski week. It kicked off yesterday (1/16) and runs through…
Aspen: Epic Aspen Day
Lunch at Sundeck (shrimp pad thai). Winterskol Women’s Health & Men’s Health Lounge in gondola plaza. (Free mags, chapstick, almonds, blankets, drinks, almonds, and foot massages and oxygen bars–and that’s just one tent! There are two.) SoupSkol: 5:30-7:30pm on Hunter & Cooper St. The following restaurants compete for the best soup in town: Aspen Brewing Company…
Austin: Half-Price Sushi at Bar Chi
As the weekend rolls around again, I absolutely must tell you about Bar Chi. It’s on 2nd & Colorado, where the old Yu Sushi Izagaya was. It looks the exact same, but they are doing something no one else downtown is: Late. Night. Happy Hour. 10p-midnight. And all-day Sunday happy hour. And not just $1…
Aspen: Venga Venga Slopeside in Snowmass
The latest Richard Sandoval modern Mexican restaurant (click here for a HuffPo article on Sandoval), Venga Venga fills the slopeside void in Snowmass. Literally the slope-iest a restaurant could get, it sits right at the old mall, beckoning you with the promise of margaritas, which somehow sound delicious even when it’s -14 degrees outside. Trust…
Austin: Free Music Week 2011
It’s the last weekend of the annual epic week of free music, so go see a show. For a comprehensive list of showtimes the likes of which I couldn’t find anywhere else, head over to see my friends at Ultra8201.
Aspen: Pacifica Happy Hour
Pacifica Seafood & Raw Bar has been a want-to-try Aspen restaurant that I haven’t had the chance to sample until I had friends come into town recently. We stopped by for their fantastic if short happy hour (it only runs 4-5:30p!) and got a chance to share and sample some seriously delicious apps. The food…
Austin: New Year’s Eve Start to Finish
Ah, the start of a new year. If you don’t have plans already, don’t fret, Austin is totally a cool town to be plan-less in. Aspen, not so much. Where did my Caribou Club membership card run off to? Anyway, here are my suggestions: Pre-Party: From 4-7pm, let Lovely Austin Boutique help you get ready…
Aspen: 12 Days of Aspen
