I know not everyone out there freelances, and not everyone who freelances wishes for coworkers. I am a freelancers but don’t wish for coworkers at all, actually, as I enjoy working by myself.

Austin Monthly Bachelor Issue Release Party
The Bachelor issue launches tonight at Gibson Guitar showroom at Penn Field. It’s an RSVP-only shindig with free food from Cuba Libre and Imperia and free drinks from Bombay Sapphire. Last time I went to one of their issue releases, they were pretty strict on the guestlist, so it’s not a party I’d recommend crashing.…

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.

A Play about Craigslist?!
If you know me at all, you know how much I love craigslist. I love the jobs, I love the apartment/real estate search, I love the groups, I love the activities, and most of all, I love the missed connections! So imagine my surprise, delight, and wonder when I read that there’s a play about…
Youuuuuuu! Soulja Boy & co to Austin!
Soulja Boy, Lil Boosie, Lil Wil, and Paul Wall are playing next weekend for a mere $20! I’m so excited–this is the kind of concert that happens in Houston all the time, but rarely makes it to Austin. It’s part of the Custom Sounds Heatwave Car Show at the Travis County Expo Center. I’m also…

Los Lonely Boys at Blues on the Green!
Consider this advance warning: Los Lonely Boys are playing Blues on the Green this Wednesday! It’s gonna be badass. Their style is Texican Rock ‘n Roll, which is a fusion of rock, blues, Tejano, country, and a little bit of soul. I LOVE them. Come early and camp it out, it’ll be so worth it–plus…
