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…

Drambuie Den Tonight & Tomorrow
TWO things to do on Tuesday?! Well, you could actually do this tonight too, as it runs both Monday and Tuesday. It seems like everyone is promoting this event, but then again, who doesn’t want to be a part of free drinks? Drambuie is doing up Pangaea both nights, but you know I love Austin…
Another Thursday, Another Plethora of Events
Good thing I have that fence to paint (it’s never done. You finish building the sucker and you just have to paint it) or I’d never be able to decide which of these events to go to! That and I’d go to the LAST Nike training run at SIX lounge before the big run this…
Wed: ACVB Cocktail Throwdown!
Because the Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau is who it is, it can host events like the upcoming Cocktail Throwdown that will crown an “official Austin cocktail.” Last year, Lambert’s owned the rights, this year KGSR’s Bryan Beck will host the competition, presented by PRA Destination Management, to name a new restaurant-bartender-drink the cocktail of…
A Thursday of Free Jewelry Events
Yeah, a smidge random that there are TWO jewelry events this Thursday, but hey, we can roll with it. I won’t be at either, as I’ll be running the Nike Human Race training run I’ve come to love so dearly. But for those not pounding the pavement: Design Your Own Necklace at Madewell Visit the…
Thirsty Thursdays – Runs, Events, & More
As the first Thursday of the month often goes, this one is jam-packed with things to do. Behold: The Moonlight Margarita Run has only been around 4 years and has already turned into one of Austin’s most infamous running events. The Town Lake Trail Foundation hosts the 5K, with an 8pm start time, as a…

Here’s the lineup for this weekend: 8 am: Nike+ Human Race training run at Starbucks (24th & Guadalupe) … run 3 or 5 miles, drink coffee, hydrate with lots of water 10 am: FREE Bikram Yoga at Barton Springs Pool, southside, off Robert E. Lee. … bring a…
Moonshine
Since all I want to do is eat some solid food (Day 9 of the Cleanse), I’m going to go ahead and torture myself and talk about Moonshine. The Third-and-Red-River hotspot has the best of many worlds–business/tourist traffic with the Convention Center and downtown and local traffic for the downtown reason and because it’s just…
I’ve got a Thursday/Friday agenda!
Hipsters, go: Thursday … 6-8pm: Tribeza happy hour at Valentine’s Too (3801 N Capital of Texas Hwy in Davenport Village). Complimentary hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and wine from Davenport Liquor plus prizes including gift certificates to the Four Seasons Hotel and Viva Chocolato make for an excellent evening/shopping affair Providing for Paws … 6-8:30pm: A new…
Some restaurants I ate at this week …
Turns out I tried a bunch of new (to me) restaurants this weekend! Imperia — the sushi happy hour was super-packed, too crowded really, and the sushi was passed apps, which means my friends and I each got about three pieces. They were tasty–cream cheese and eel, a crunchy take on spicy tuna–but I don’t…
