Take Back Your Lunch
There’s a new movement starting this Wednesday across the country called “Take Back Your Lunch.” All you have to do is dine with friend in a park or public place to get away from your computer for an hour. Why? Take Back Your Lunch is a part of The Energy Project for Tony Schwartz’s new…
Austin: Weekend Hops & Pops
Saturday: Hops From 2-5 pm, taste your favorite (512) Ales plus the newly re-released Belgian Style Strong Ale (512) ONE.2 . Get three free tastes.

Austin: Just what I’ve always wanted–a drive-thru at Coffee Bean
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is now offering a “high-touch, personalized drive-thru experience” at its South Lamar location. Anyone who has been to the S.

#omg @hippest

So when I read about Survival of the Hippest, where they make TWITTER NAMEPLATE NECKLACES, I couldn’t help but post. Only $49.95! Check it out. I…

I ADORE MooJesus! Y’all should know that by now, and I just found out that V and O’Dea went WITHOUT me today. So jealous!! I also ADORE summer camp. I went to Camp Olympia for five years as a kid, winning all the awards and “dating” boys for the three weeks I was there, and…
Redesign!
What say you, interwebs? To accommodate the Austin and Aspen posts, I thought it’d be prudent to have three posts displaying in the primetime spot on the site. If you RSS read, you do not probably care. If you don’t, however, hello!! Since the new design is all suave-eh, say adios to my sweet but…
Austin: Creativity Classes at CreateMore.org
CrossFit has brought me into contact with some pretty interesting, awesome people. Mel Joulwan is one of those people, and her delightful husband Dave–who, I must confess, I barely know personally but feel like I know from Mel’s blog and his constant support of her at CrossFit and other competitive eventes–is starting a class to…
Staring Up the Stairs
Man I miss training in a group.The workout I made up for myself today would have been a really fun one if I had been with my training partners. Instead, it was me and Nali, and although she’s close to human, it’s just not the same. I was even wearing my CC shirt … sigh.…
