Austin has become a hotbed for craft booze. How many breweries have opened this year alone? Perhaps it started with Tito’s Vodka and Live Oak Brewery, but the local libations scene has expanded to include Treaty Oak Rum, Graham’s Texas Tea, Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka, Balcones Baby Blue Whiskey, Dripping Springs Vodka, to name…

I finally took my Level 1 cert test this weekend. I got certified over a year ago, but they changed the standards to be accredited so I had to take a new test—I passed! 🙂 But it also reminded me a little something about the CrossFit Kool-Aid. SO much of what CrossFit is about is…
Winners! for Forks Over Knives
I’m glad so many of you entered to win tix to the advanced screening of Forks Over Knives and are interested in health! If you didn’t win, the film opens to the public May 13 at the Arbor, so I still encourage you to go. Without further ado, chosen by random number generator, the five…
Austin: Giveaway! Tix to Advance Screening of Forks Over Knives
“The answer is so simple it’s criminal: people starting to take responsibility for their health.” This trailer is for FORKS OVER KNIVES, a film examining the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods*. *You know that…

Austin: Two More Brunch Options: Zed’s & TRACE
Zed’s, the new North Austin dining destination serving modern, casual Austin-American fare, recently introduced an expansive Sunday brunch buffet (which, as you know, is what I think ALL brunches should be). Zed’s brunch is served from 11am to 3pm every Sunday. The kid-friendly menu includes made-to-order omelets, a meat-carving station, waffles with assorted fruit toppings, and…
Remember when they said Real World Austin was too drunk?
Yeah, remember that they cut the Real World Austin season short because all the housemates did was get drunk on 6th street, hook up, and start fights? Does that bear any resemblance to any show you can think of on MTV right now? Perhaps one that’s spawned pop “legends,” who do such noble things as…
Dance in the Rain
I’ve alluded to my personal challenges and stress of late. Similar to making lemonade of lemons, I’m dancing in the rain while I figure out where the hell my umbrella is … or where I’m seeking shelter. From garage door at the Aspen CrossFit gym.
Austin: Sophomore Fashion Show
My sophomore year in college, I might have been considered a bit of an overachiever. But the email I got recently might top even myself: It was from a sophomore at Texas State who is hosting a fashion show. For her line. That she sells on her website BeAllos.com. And the show benefits Love Is Respect!, a foundation…
