No more phonebooks, hooray!
I was just having this conversation with a friend yesterday: Him: “What’s up with phone books? They’re stupid, they go straight from my doorstep to my recycling bin. I wish they’d stop sending them to me.” Me: “I used mine to hold up my bed frame for awhile … but I agree. No one uses…
LOVIN’ LANAI!!
The new bar opened last night, and I LOVE it!! It’s pretty awesome–rooftop, open sides, retractable glass roof, stone and water decor everywhere … and of course, the best bartenders in Austin! (A good friend is the GM, and he brought the best of the best with him from stints at Brown Bar and Prague)…
Training Run + Daily Mile
I’m sure you’re curious about things to do tonight, Tuesday. But Tuesdays are not for events. Except the Nike Human Race training run at Guero’s, which is an awesome event. Free tacos and drinks and friends and running routes, what more could you ask for?! Well, perhaps an online community of runners? Daily Mile is…

I <3 Mangia Pizza
I freakin’ love Mangia Pizza. Large whole wheat Chicago-style crust with spinach and mushrooms, please! The other night after volleyball, we went to the Draught House to check out the (512) beers. The Wit was much lighter and smoother than the Pale, though both had pretty good flavors. But that’s not the point, the point…
Moving … to Brykerwoods
It’s a new ‘hood, kids! I’ve been a little MIA lately because of the big move, and I just wanted to let you guys know a few things about moving. 1) I’m in a new neighborhood, within walking distance of Kerbey Lane, SNOW PEA!!!, Central Market, Randall’s, Brick Oven, Flying Tomato, etc. Expect some new…
Networking: The Outlaw List + Mashable
So I went to an Acton MBA luncheon Friday (the entrenpreneurial MBA, they say), and I met some cool people, one of whom runs a list for young professionals called The Outlaw List. His last name is seriously Outlaw–how cool is that? Anyway, the list is all about networking–apparently Mr. Outlaw himself is a networker…
Moonshine
Since all I want to do is eat some solid food (Day 9 of the Cleanse), I’m going to go ahead and torture myself and talk about Moonshine. The Third-and-Red-River hotspot has the best of many worlds–business/tourist traffic with the Convention Center and downtown and local traffic for the downtown reason and because it’s just…
