The lovely Jennie of MisoHungry Makes it With Moonshine has posted a fantastic description of the upcoming St. Arnold’s Pub Crawl. For those who don’t know, St. Arnold’s is a Houston brewery started by a couple of Rice grads … so needless to say, I drank my fair share of free St. A’s in college.…

Let the madness begin: SXSW 2010

I will be in Denver, Colorado, also freezing my ass off because the only burnt orange I own is a t-shirt, and cheering and jumping…
Achachay! at TC’s / I am not so good at music
