ACL Afterparties

But Lyssa, I thought couldn’t handle ACL? According to last year’s ACL post, where, BTW, I share some tips to live by ifidosaysomyself, I have retired from ACL. But friends, as evidenced by my frantic tweeting to score a 3-day pass (done! love you, twitter), I am back on the wagon. I am a journalist,…

Thursday Pre-V-Day = tons of events

There are an exorbitant number of happy hours and events tonight, some because it’s Thursday and some because Valentine’s Day is a great excuse for free drinks and snacks, and to sell some stuff in some stores. No matter your leaning, take advantage of a plethora of Thursday-night ideas–and end up at Twestival! Loosely arranged…

Circuit City Liquidation! + St. Bernard Sale

Not that bankruptcy is ever really a good thing (for the economy, the company’s workers, so on and so on), but for consumers in need of a computer, camera, printer, etc., Circuit City’s announcement today that it is officially going kaput is a little bit exciting. Circuit City has apparently hired four liquidation companies to…

Free eyebrow shaping?!

Sometimes, you go to all these events at stores and boutiques and it becomes the same thing: little snacks on white napkins, wine in plastic cups made to look nice, and mini-makeovers. All of which are good things. But when you hear of an event with something entirely new, you get a little bit excited.…

Tidbits or Tribeza? Tough Thursday!

I LOVE Austin Tidbits parties. They’re rare (quarterly?), obviously causing them to be more exciting than Tribeza parties, and they usually have fab gift bags and super-fashiony people, making them way more exciting. Not that Tribeza parties don’t have fashiony people–and I will say they draw a fair man-crowd, whereas Tidbits men are randoms off…

Alright, alright, more ACL coverage

Just because I like free parties and magazine parties, I’m posting on ACL again. Letting you guys in on some secrets: The Paste magazine party tonight at Stubb’s should be ridiculous. I tried to sneak into Paste’s party during SXSW, to no avail. But RSVP here and you won’t have to, plus you’ll see What…

ACL … I can’t handle it

I just can’t handle ACL. I went all out last year–open to close, all three days, media tent, afterparties and aftershows–and I think I just burned myself right out. Instead, I will be walking myself to tailgating and the UT game. Trying to drive or cab anywhere south of Enfield this weekend is going to…

Theatre AND free burgers?! So Austin.

Only in Austin would a respectable theatre company, The City Theatre, offer free burgers with their summer production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. The last weekend to catch the show is this weekend, August 14 – 17, starting tonight. Shows run Thursday – Saturday at 8:00pm and Sunday at 5:30pm. The free burgers…
