We–that is, me and my now-Brunch-obsessed pals–were at Moonshine Sunday morning for a little rehashing of last night over bloody marys and southern comfort food. Thrilled that they sat us at the exact same table as the last time we were there, we were even more excited when our server came over. It wasn’t his…

Britney Is Back. In Houston. And Dallas.
I feel like I’m an open book, but sometimes people say things like, “I NEVER would have guessed [x] about you!” That I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS is one of those things. People, I stood by her when she popped out two kids, married K-Fed (I even LIKED K-Fed!), shaved her head, hit a papazo (isn’t…
Golf Fashion Show or Achachay! at Red Eyed Fly?

National Music Blogger Event
This event is going to be badass all around. Starts out with some of the biggest names in music blogging (hello, Gorilla vs. Bear practically started the blogging movement, then propelled hundreds of bands to national recognition!) talking about how they became mainstrean–so helpful for a blogger, so fascinating for a non-blogger. Then there’s a…
More Election Eve Festivities
In the interest of the election is on everyone’s minds anyway, I’ll fill you in on this completely partisan* event as well … party politics aside, it’s a great group of musicians! Election Eve concert “Red State Blues – A Concert for Change” at Austin Music Hall with Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, James McMurtry,…
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…
Alright, alright, more ACL coverage
Just because I like free parties and magazine parties, I’m posting on ACL again. Letting you guys in on some secrets: The Paste magazine party tonight at Stubb’s should be ridiculous. I tried to sneak into Paste’s party during SXSW, to no avail. But RSVP here and you won’t have to, plus you’ll see What…
