The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is now offering a “high-touch, personalized drive-thru experience” at its South Lamar location. Anyone who has been to the S.

Austin: Creativity Classes at CreateMore.org
CrossFit has brought me into contact with some pretty interesting, awesome people. Mel Joulwan is one of those people, and her delightful husband Dave–who, I must confess, I barely know personally but feel like I know from Mel’s blog and his constant support of her at CrossFit and other competitive eventes–is starting a class to…
Austin: Sailor Jerry’s and Hori Smoku
There’s a girl, who I’ve never met, who sent me the info on this event. She grew up in CO and TX, where I now split time, and get this–she grew up in the tiny town of Sugar Land, outside of Houston, where I was actually born! It’s crazy. And, it’s crazy how much synchronicity…
Austin: Brunette Victory! and Eric at Massage Envy
Brunettes win! In a low-scoring game, a last-second touchdown led the Brunettes to a 6-2 stunner over the Blondes, who were rendered scoreless by the Brunettes’ stifling defense. A safety in the first quarter stemming from a botched sack-interception call led to the Blondes’ only points on the board. With just 12 seconds left, the…

Austin: Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka
The better-than-Firefly Texas-only Sweet Tea Vodka has been mentioned on this blog for months, as you could snag some at the EndlessBeauty.com launch party, The Blondes vs. Brunettes 4th & Goal Gala, or any number of other events since SXSW in March, apparently it’s OFFICIALLY launching this month. Because, naturally, June is National Iced Tea…

Aspen: Lance’s Bike Classic September 26
Like me, the man in the yellow jersey calls both Aspen and Austin home. While Austin may hold his Mellow Johnny’s and Juan Pelota establishments, Aspen is now home to his Wapiyapi Classic, a 25-mile or 50-mile bike race with a $200 fundraising requirement. What’s a Wapiyapi? Wapiyapi is the Lakota Sioux word for “healing”.…
