Like you guys don’t know how much I love football, but I think everyone should play in Austin Sports & Social‘s upcoming Spring Tournament! It’s just two weeks away and registration ends this Wednesday! [And everyone should play Blondes vs. Brunettes–OBVIOUSLY! Awesome charity fundraising powderpuff football game) After a hiatus of free beer during the…
Magazines host wedding days
Gone are the days when you hear radio commercials touting the Bridal Extravaganza at Palmer Events Center, and the clueless bride thought that was her only resource for everything wedding. Last week, Finch hosted an in-store, this week mags are getting in on the action with RARE and Tribeza both sponsoring events. Invites and deets…

Juan Pelota … hahaha!
Much love to Tolly at Austin Eavesdropper for sharing this and making me laugh … I get it! Juan Pelota! Tolly says: “For reference: Juan Pelota = the coffee shop inside Mellow Johnny’s, and it is named after Lance Armstrong’s one remaining man jewel. (That he still somehow manages to impregnate women with).” (“pelota” means…
Thursday Pre-V-Day = tons of events
There are an exorbitant number of happy hours and events tonight, some because it’s Thursday and some because Valentine’s Day is a great excuse for free drinks and snacks, and to sell some stuff in some stores. No matter your leaning, take advantage of a plethora of Thursday-night ideas–and end up at Twestival! Loosely arranged…
More Valentine’s Day Fun
Remember how I suggested in my last Heart Day post that somewhere to go sans reservations would be Daily Juice or Whole Foods? Turns out Daily Juice is hosting a chocolate party and Whole Foods is hosting a Singles event–but that’s TONIGHT, Wednesday, so you’re probably still safe to head there Saturday night. Whole Foods…
Best Cocktails Ever
Last night I went to La Condesa, a luscious Mexican restaurant in the true sense of the word, for a tasting of cocktails. Above the funky interior–a mix of concrete and leather banquettes, unfinished wood and Cuban mural–sits Malverde, a bar that will undoubtedly make a huge impact on Austin nightlife. A glassed-in, patio-surrounded black-concrete…
Tuesday: Fun, Sexy, Strappy
It’s almost like the commercials for My Bloody Valentine (The Perfect date movie: fun, sex, terror), minus any terror. Collectic Home is hosting an art unveiling tomorrow night, so check it out if you’re into that sort of thing (details after I marvel over Aces Lounge’s new offerings below) … So who knew Aces Lounge…
