I may or may not have been interested in this party anyway, but with the mention of Ararat, the amazing Arabic food prepared by the same charming owner behind east side coffeeshop GEM Hot Mama’s Espresso Bar, I was in. There will be belly dancing performances by Sabaya Bellydance and music by DJ Kurv. 8-10:30p…

I like to think I am invincible. Things YOU should do today.
Despite all evidence to the contrary, turns out, I’m not invincible. Well damn. Though I’d like to be at the Gables Sneak Peek or a Whole Foods tour in honor of Dishola’s Dish-for-Dish (review a dish already, people!) or a happy hour birthday party at Piranha (man do I love their sushi) or Beer and…
Austin Post Goes Real Time
I’m constantly evangelizing about Austin Post – an online newspaper by, of, and for the people – where anyone can post, comment, vote, etc. At its finest, it’ll be totally edited, reported on, and curated by its readers. (It’s totally not there yet, but it will get there) Anyway, today Austin Post announced its Real…
Ahh, spicy: Dulce Vida Tequila
There’s a new tequila in town, and it ain’t like those other vaqueros. Dulce Vida tequila is pure, plain and simple: it’s 100-proof, nothing but the distilled juice of organic agave plants from Mexico. No sugars, no water, no vodka to cut it; it’s just tequila. (Pictured: Dulce Vida Reposado, aged for a year in…
John Krasinski/Jim = Awesome
I may read US Weekly religiously, but I am not celeb-struck. I don’t swoon over leading men and fantasize about someday marrying them (here’s looking at you, Katie Holmes). I wonder about their “real lives” and what they’re really like, but I’m not overly invested in what they are or aren’t doing. But I was…
Bad Seed Garden Party Sunday
Totally apropos! Just found out today is America Recycles Day, which is the perfect segue into the news about Bad Seed Promotions’ Garden Party, which was created to bring some attention and support to Austin’s urban and DIY gardening community. It’s a Roarin’ 20s theme (think Gatsby, feathers, boas, flappers, pearls, jazz, white suits) with…
Beets and Cans and Cans and Beets
Beets Cafe has already generated enough buzz in Austin for you to look at an invite to its Grand Opening and say, huh? Hasn’t it been open awhile? Yes. But THIS is a GRAND OPENING, a party the likes of which are … well, pretty often in Austin. But this is extra awesome, so check…
All About Film Friday
Jim from the Office Makes a Movie John Krasinki’s directorial debut is Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, a play he discovered while studying playwriting at Brown University. Not only did the experience spark Krasinski’s interest in the late David Foster Wallace’s caustic exploration of the nature of men, it was also the moment that made…
A Note on Eating … plus FREE Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Kids, I’ve gone Paleo. You’ll see upcoming posts on things not Paleo (looking at you, Dulce Vida delicious tequila), like the following notice in this same post, but as of the beginning of this week, I’ve undertaken a 30-day Strict Paleo Challenge with 4 of my fellow CrossFitters. Curious? What’s a Paleo? Already thought I…
