I’ve written about Austin Young Chamber of Commerce before (here), but this time they are throwing a mega shindig. At their Tie One On party at Rebel’s Honky Tonk, there will be an OPEN BAR from 7-11pm, live music from Grant Jones and the Pistol Whip Lassos & Mikey and the Soda Jerks, a bull…

Primo Chalk!
Austinite CrossFitter and Olympic lifter Jeremy Brooks has created a new kind of chalk called PrimoChalk. As someone who constantly battles ripped hands, I am intrigued … especially because I am still a girl and I like things that say they contain essential oils. They say: “In PrimoChalk™ we’ve combined quality magnesium carbonate with a…
Getchya Guerilla Suit
As we all “get back to business” now that SXSW is over (phew … I spent most of Sunday on my couch watching Center Stage 2: Turn it Up), there’s a really cool opportunity for someone really getting back to business: earlier this month, agency vets James Moody and Kevin Whitley announced the creation of…
Feels Like Home
My first day back at CrossFit Central in .com class was fun. And by fun I mean I had to drag myself there, hated the workout, but left with a smile on my face and pep in my step. It was like the early days of .com–I was the only girl, and pullups are not…
Flah Flah Flah
The first Annual Austin Fleadh (Pronounced Flah, the proper Gaelic word for Festival) debuts this week on Wednesday, otherwise known as St. Patrick’s Day o10. It’s a wonder this city doesn’t spontaneously combust during SXSW with all the parties and booze flowing … I mean, I personally feel like I’m going to bust, so multiply…

Sectionals Day 1: HSPU fail
Sectional WOD 1: Dead Man’s Row Row 2K – 8:04 (PR!) As many deadlifts at 185# as possible, each subtracts 5 seconds from row time: 13 Time: 6:59 And I’m tied for 7th place with the lovely Veronica Pike! WOD 2: Mabry Medley 2 HSPUs other stuff … it doesn’t even matter because I never…
Reminder: SXSW Spreadsheet
I’m so psyched so many of you are using the SXSW 2010 Free Party spreadsheet! Just wanted to remind you that it’s constantly updated as I find out about new parties, so make sure you’re checking this version: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Asjskwdlt0podDk4V2R6T1VScHNGa05kQ0hyd2Y4d3c&hl=en Some weird “Copy of SXSW Spreadsheet” babies have started showing up in my google docs, which…
localiter finally launches!
Thursday 8-10pm at Kung Fu Saloon, my friend’s company will launch! It’s like Groupon or Living Social BUT totally Austin-centric. “Austin is so much more than weird and wired; we are also well-connected as a city and we tap into this by incorporating local businesses into every aspect of our promotions,” says Localiter founder Kristina…
March Bar Madness
You all probably know about Thrillist by now – the Daily Candy for dudes that chicks dig too. I dig it because the Austin Thrillist dude knows about everything cool before or at the same time as me–which never ceases to impress me. Anyway, the site is hosting a nationwide Bar Madness Sweepstakes – a…
