Pardon the Beyonce reference, as Sirens N’Boots just sounds smokin’ hot, right, like a burlesque show in cowboy boots, like Southern songstresses ready to kick ass while lookin’ good? I mean, that’s what I’m like every night. Anyway, tomorrow night a three-piece all-girl group of singer-songwriters is eschewing their individual reps to form an act…

My Beloved Johanna to Bo Salon
My sweet, happy, pixie of a hairstylist called me earlier this week to tell me the happy news: she’s moving to Bo Salon! This is the woman who single-handed-ly changed me majestically into a blonde from a lifetime brunette without any tears or second-guesses. She’s a goddess of hair. And really good at cutting and…
Kenichi – good at raw fish
Kenichi has been Austin’s downtown sushi spot for quite some time (8+ years?), but with the recent additions of Imperia (a personal fave), Yu Sushi Igazyu, and coming-soon Piranha sushi and the stiff competition from heavily-discounted-happy-hour-hitters Kyoto, Silhouette, and Maiko (also a fave), the venerable spot is ramping up its image and offerings. There’s a…

Prix Fixe at TRIO and Austin Land and Cattle
These are some seriously awesome deals, people. For Father’s Day, my bro and I used to take our dad to Outback Steakhouse every year. Unfortunately for Pops, the bro and I got into our free-range-meat-only habit, and Outback was out the window. Luckily for Dad, Austin Land & Cattle would never dream of serving up…
Let’s Talk About Brunches
In honor of today being Monday, the day after Sunday, which is unofficial official Brunch Day, let’s talk about brunches. I’ve raved about the Four Seasons’ brunch more times than I can count, and Moonshine’s too. I was on quite the brunch kick for a little while, but athletics and sleeping have gotten in the…
