Restaurant week … all the other cities have them, and I earlier this year I wrote about rumors of an Austin Restaurant Week in October. Well, KGSR has apparently beaten Rare magazine to the punch, as the radio station that brings us free live music events Blues on the Green, Unplugged at the Grove, and…

Moonshine Brunch
So I’ve been talking about Moonshine’s brunch for over a month now, and finally went yesterday. It was awesome! We arrived around noon (the brunch runs 10-2:30), and they told us the wait would be about 45 minutes to an hour for a table of 5. We snagged spots at the bar and were seated…

Coworking– it’s all the rage
I know not everyone out there freelances, and not everyone who freelances wishes for coworkers. I am a freelancers but don’t wish for coworkers at all, actually, as I enjoy working by myself. BUT it is fun to be around other creatives and in a work environment, hence the nationwide co-working trend. The other night…
Austin Monthly Bachelor Issue Release Party
The Bachelor issue launches tonight at Gibson Guitar showroom at Penn Field. It’s an RSVP-only shindig with free food from Cuba Libre and Imperia and free drinks from Bombay Sapphire.

Networking: The Outlaw List + Mashable
So I went to an Acton MBA luncheon Friday (the entrenpreneurial MBA, they say), and I met some cool people, one of whom runs a list for young professionals called The Outlaw List. His last name is seriously Outlaw–how cool is that? Anyway, the list is all about networking–apparently Mr. Outlaw himself is a networker…
Athenian Grill (Re)Opens Downtown
More food torture for me: Apparently everyone loved the old Athenian Grill (closed for about 2 years now?) and is super-excited about the new one opening up at 6th and Congress, across from Ruth’s Chris. This Tuesday was its first day back in business, and the folks over at chowhound are already all over it,…
2nd Street District Sale Tonight
I tried to refrain from writing about this because, well, it seems like the 2nd Street District is ALWAYS hosting shopping extravaganzas, so that doesn’t really make it all that newsworthy. But after recieving my 10th email about the dang thing, I thought I might as well post it, in case one of you savvy shoppers…
