I was thrilled to find this missed connections post on craigslist: http://austin.craigslist.org/mis/658406389.html It could have been us! My girlfriend (platonic) and I are magnets for this sort of thing (the one guy-two girls sort of thing? I don’t know exactly what a this sort of thing is), except that for once in our lives we…

Dancing on West Sixth: Impossible?!
West Sixth Street really came into an identity of its own in the last two or three years. Some of the tourists haven’t caught on, and Austin’s burgeoning see-and-be-seen crowd has taken to the west side of Congress for its upscale bars, lounges, and restaurants. West Sixth is the antithesis to the craziness that spills…
Review: Sago Modern Mexican
Based on cocktails and appetizers alone, Sago was delicious! Their signature Z-Martini is a spicy-sweet number sweetened with agave nectar–low on the GI scale, so less of an impact on your blood sugar!–and it even has little pieces of crushed jalapeno floating throughout! We also tried a martini whose name I can’t remember, sort of…
Too many options Thursday!
So many events, so little time. Thursdays are hot in the ATX! (literally and figuratively, natch) Top Billing: Sago Modern Mexican opening! 6:00-7:30pm … Sponsored by Austin Monthly and featuring free apps and martinis, the launch of this new restaurant in the Triangle should be an awesome event. Others: Austin Monthly is also hosting a…
What to do on Wednesday
Wednesday this week is offering a doubleheader of athletic options. There’s always SoCo Run Club, the awesome run club I won’t stop talking about, but now there’s a new competitor: Wednesday pickup volleyball at Zilker. So, there’s a friend of mine who started the meetup.com volleyball group (you can access it through atxvb.com too ……
Free eco-friendly bags!
Today being Earth Day and all, area HEBs are passing out free reusable bags in exchange for just 5 plastic bags! Stop by from 3-7 and become a part of the reusable bag trend. I have about 7 reusable bags, mainly because once I bring them in the condo it takes me awhile to remember…
Networking happy hours
As I have experienced the business world–and do take into account that my business is the media–I have come to the conclusion that it is almost entirely about who you know. That said, if you know someone but the quality of your work is shoddy, it won’t help you at all. But frankly, if you…
Road trip to Steve & Barry’s
Okay, my road trip isn’t actually to the mass retailer, I’m headed to Galveston for a friend’s birthday beach bash, but on the way I have big plans for stopping by Katy Mills mall to check in to the Steve & Barry’s. Why? To check out $8.98 lines BITTEN from Sarah Jessica Parker, dear by…
SkinBella facial = so-so
Maybe I’m biased because I don’t really have problem skin, but my spa week treatment was not as exciting as I had imagined. Maybe it’s because I didn’t really realize that my SkinBella “facial” was a microdermabrasion treatment instead of the exfoliating-masque-extraction-moisturizing facial I was thinking of. milk + honey itself was nice enough, if…
Spa Week!
Spa Week is somehow little-known, but it’s amazing! Spas present several of their (normally very expensive services) for just $50! It’s to promote awareness and hopefully hook you on spa visits, but for me, it’s going to be my first facial. Four Austin spas are participating: milk + honey (2 locations: downtown & hill country…
