The other restaurant week, not the one that just ended. So confusing, I know, we had no restaurant week and now we have two?! For the “official” Austin Restaurant Week, over 50 restaurants will provide $25 and $35 three-course prix fixe menus to diners for eight nights. A list of participating restaurants will be released…

A Thursday of Free Jewelry Events
Yeah, a smidge random that there are TWO jewelry events this Thursday, but hey, we can roll with it. I won’t be at either, as I’ll be running the Nike Human Race training run I’ve come to love so dearly. But for those not pounding the pavement: Design Your Own Necklace at Madewell Visit the…
Free Dinner at Roux!
Sweeeeet! Sign up for Roux’s mailing list and you get free dinner [ok, I got my coupon … it’s for $15 off an entree. I think you can use two together though, which would make for mostly free dinner, right?] for their one year anniversary! Click the box on the right side of the page…

Bikram Yoga Champions to Austin!
Yoga Competitions may sound a little oxymoronic, but once you’ve seen the things the champs can do with their bodies, rational thoughts leave your head anyway. Luckily for Austinites, the 2008 International Yoga Champions are coming to Bikram Yoga Davenport to teach this weekend! Starting tonight and heading on into Monday, Ball Rattanapong and Alisa…
(512) Brewery Grand Opening + Tasting
The initial reports on the new (512) brews at Draught House and Uncle Billy’s have been good, saying the beer is smooth and very drinkable. This Saturday from 1-4 is the free tasting and tours! I’m going to be in Dallas and I am so jealous of everyone here in Austin who can go to…
Tuesdays? + a full Wednesday
Last Tuesday, I ran into a friend and frequent reader of this blog at Bikram Yoga Davenport (love it!) and she asked what was going on that night. “A Tuesday night? I don’t know, I’m at yoga!” Aside from Bikram Yoga classes and the Nike Human Race training run at Guero’s (can’t wait to check that…
