Three more Local-y things this week for SXSW: 1. Local Band Achachay! Plays a Billion Venues Thurs March 15th: Northeast by…
Back to Nature’s Garage Gym
It’s only mid-March, but Aspen is experiencing an early spring, so it’s back to Nature’s Garage Gym for me! I was NOT feeling working out today, with an intense sunburn from Miami, but I did it anyway (it was the Hap for the day, and how can I not do that?) I ran down the Rio…

SXSW 2012
A funny thing has happened to SXSW, which I started to write about in last year’s SXSW wrap-up post: it has tipped. That is, it is no longer a little festival for the geeks of three respective industries, it’s a destination festival for an unheard-of combination of (startup) companies, corporations, and consumers (aka Spring Breakers). There’s…
Austin: Alamo’s New Cocktail Lounges Midnight Cowboy & 400 Rabbits
Alamo Drafthouse recently announced its first cocktail lounge, called 400 Rabbits. Which was cool enough, but THEN they announced that they’re looking for 400 Loyal Austin Patrons who will collectively be known as “The 400 Rabbits.” The 400 Rabbits will be determined by various methods including a Facebook Scavenger Hunt, Radio giveaways, onsite Geeks Who Drink…
Values
Today’s task on DailyHap.com is to write about something important to you, based on new research that reflecting on your values might help you lose weight. As a writer, part of me is like, eh, I don’t need to do that, I always write about stuff that’s important to me. And if the research is…
Play Hooky & Ski Week
Lift ticket sale site Liftopia declared this week Play Hooky & Ski week, an edict I can fully stand behind. If you’re lucky enough to be near a ski resort, do it!
Feel Good Friday 030212
Feel Good Friday is a roundup of the things that made me feel good or that I’m grateful for all week. Join me and leave your Feel Goods in the comments! Holy crap it’s March. That actually doesn’t make me feel good, but DailyHap‘s first month birthday is pretty awesome! The best skiing day I’ve…
Leap Day!
What are you going to do on Leap Day?! In the British Isles, it is a tradition that women may propose marriage only on leap years. Supposedly, a 1288 law by Queen Margaret of Scotland (then age five and living in Norway), required that fines be levied if a marriage proposal was refused by the man … compensation ranged from a…
