Creative Home Office
This is my home office. In my lofted one-bedroom apartment, space is at a premium. But I work from home, on the awesome DailyHap.com, so a home office is non-negotiable. Enter the couch + table + chairs combo that I LOVE. It has lots of light and lots of space for me to spread out…

DrumJam at Stubb’s tonight
DrumJam plays the Official Blue October Aftershow at Stubb’s tonight, doors at 11:30pm & show at midnight.

Monster Big Band at Elephant Room
I don’t normally do jazz–or Wednesday night concerts, for that matter.

UT Volleyball Game vs Nebraska
Pitting #4 Texas against #3 Nebraska in some badass women’s volleyball action, the Big 12 Showdown is slated for 8pm tomorrow, Wednesday. It’s likely to sell out–it did last year–so get your tix stat for a mere $4-$10. It’s at Gregory, so the $4 seats should be just as good as the $10 seats. I…
