Texas Testosterone Festival I’ve already riffed on how sweet I think the Texas Testosterone Festival is gonna be this weekend: bball skills, Spartan 300, MMA fighting, poker tourneys, choppa customization, bikini and fit model contests … yeah, pretty freakin’ sweet. There’s also an actually-really-cool-if-you’re-not-into-pure-debauchery event too: a Central Texas Pro Sports Round Table with reps…

Party with Nerds: Software Advice Rolls Out Its Own Welcome Mat
I love the invite to this party, with gems like “Looks like someone at City Hall forgot to organize a parade for us …” I mean, sometimes I feel that way. Like when I first got my pullups in CrossFit, where was my parade?! Anyway, Software Advice, a free online resource for software buyers, has…
Last Minute: This Afternoon, you don’t wanna miss…
… Concierto Bajo Las Estrellas, 5-10pm tonight at The Long Center for the Performing Arts’ City Terrace As a sometimes Spanish speaker (as in, I can speak the Spanish but don’t very often), I get excited when I read things in Spanish. Even when they’re as simple as “Concert Under the Stars,” KAKW Univision 62’s…
FREE DINNER at Sagra
If you haven’t heard, Lavender is so your color … or it will be tomorrow, when Sagra hosts a Lavender-Fest-filled FREE DINNER starting at 4pm. Chef Gabriel Pellegrini is serving a free family-style meal, with every course featuring lavender. They’ll serve food until the kitchen runs out. Bring some spending cash for $4 house wine…
Austin Young Chamber of Commerce + ’80s Membership Mixer
A few months ago, I got an email alerting me that the Austin Young Chamber of Commerce is now live and accepting members: www.austinyc.org. With so many organizations out there, what makes the AYC unique? One of the founders and a friend of mine, Johnny Rodgers, promises AYC will foster business to business relationships as…
“She is one of the few couture milliners in the US.”
If that doesn’t interest you in an event invite, I don’t know what will. And just because sometimes we’re not Texan enough in keep-it-weird-but-cool-and-not-all-that-hick-stuff Austin, Second Street staple Beyond Tradition is hosting a cowboy culture event from 6-9pm this Wednesday. The event centers on two designers. The first, Critic’s Choice for “Best Home Accessories Designer”…
Love and Rockets Tribute … or, an excuse to hit Malverde
Any excuse to get to Malverde and sip an El Cubico or Alma Blanca: Tuesday night, check out the Listening Party for a tribute record. I don’t even know Love and Rockets, but apparently they’re a BIG DEAL. “New Tales to Tell- A Tribute to Love and Rockets” features covers of Love and Rockets classics…
I love Saturdays: CrossFit before Cupcakes, with a side of (512) Beer
Saturdays in Austin are sometimes lazy recovery days, and sometimes jam-packed adventure days. OK, who am I kidding, they’re always adventurous, sometimes I just choose to laze about instead of partaking. But this Saturday I won’t be missing out on any of these awesome events: 9-11:30am: The Movement @ RunTex on Lake Austin Blvd The…
Rave Yoga After Dark at lululemon THURSDAY
Sorry guys, I never specified the day on this shindig: definitely Thursday night. Wear all black for lululemon’s Yoga After Dark. Starting at 8pm inside the store, there’ll be snacks, drinks, and games until the sun goes down, when the real fun begins (and, let’s not lie, the heat starts to subside just a smidge).…
It’s Another Thrilling Thursday
Fresh off the plane from Park City, Utah, I’m happy to dive headfirst into a packed Thursday night. Here’s my itinerary: 6-9pm: TRIBEZA Happy Hour to Celebrate Grand Opening of Bikram Yoga Downtown We’ve been awaiting this one for awhile: the Westlake studio where I practice Bikram is opening a new downtown location! Get your…
