I intended to write thrilling recaps of our adventures hitting the streets for SXSW, but little did I know how much TIME that takes (hitting the streets, not recapping)! Lots of swag has been had, and there’s more to go. The blog I’m writing for can be found at http://dn3sxsw.wordpress.com. If you click on my…
Recaps! + What’s up on Tuesday
Be sure to check out the marketing agency blog I’m writing for this week! http://dn3sxsw.wordpress.com/ Last night was lots of fun. We got to see the premiere of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, after waiting in line for only an hour, sitting in the far righthand balcony of the Paramount. It was cute. My friend loved it,…
Monday’s Agenda
A rundown of my SXSW affairs… luckily, a good friend is a teacher and has Spring Break this week, so I have a constant partner in crime. Unlike Wednesday on, today will mostly feature night parties. My first priority is getting into the Forgetting Sarah Marshall premiere, because it’s just downright ironic how much the…
Spill
So there’s this club in Austin called Spill. The Real World cast made it famous when they would go get drunk and get into fights at Spill … so naturally, Austinites worth their salt (and over the age of 21, because many of the patrons of Spill are not in fact over 21) avoid Spill…
Two To Try: Silhouette Sushi and Tacodeli
Tried two new restaurants last night and for lunch today, and both were stellar! Silhouette Sushi: a hidden gem, “cheap eats ’08” by citysearch.com Chances are you’ve walked past Silhouette and not noticed it, or you’ve seen it and never known what it was. Apparently downtown businessmen know all about it, but downtown revelers looking…
SXSW crazy!
I just completed an eight-page spreadsheet with over 125 parties listed for SXSW, all free or RSVP/invite-only, where there’s an actual place to RSVP. I’m pretty excited. And tired. Good sources for SXSW info: FYR – super awesome, with interactive map; unfortunately lists wristband-only parties as well … a lot of other sites take this…
New Jeans … not Apple Bottom
My boyfriend constantly asks me if I own Apple Bottom jeans (thanks a lot, Flo-Rider, for making that song that says “Apple Bottom jeans, boots with the fur,” that is on some radio station in Austin at any given minute during the day). “No, I don’t need to. I do not have an apple bottom,”…
Vegan Cookie!!
I ate a vegan cookie today. I think it probably contained the day’s worth of carbs, but that’s okay, because it was probably the single most delicious thing I have eaten in the past thee years. I’m pretty sure. It was an almond butter cookie from vegan bakery/coffeeshop/Toy Joy-neighbor Dhaba Joy. It was astounding. I…
The Worst Run of My Life
I attempted a 12-miler on Saturday morning and thought I was going to pass out on the side of the road, as my stomach was ripped out of my body by three fists grabbing and twisting it until it snapped. Or because I ate a big egg-white omlette with ground beef and turkey bacon and…
Argh Running
I’m experiencing more ambivalence about this half marathon business. My 3-miler was tough and slow today, I just didn’t have the energy. Damn low carb. But I’m getting more used to it, and it’s becoming easier, as any diet does. I did have a drink or two last night–hard liquor only, of course, as it…
