And just like that, off-season is more or less over in Aspen. Sure, the next few weeks will be slow-ish, but this weekend is JAM-PACKED with events like any other summer or winter weekend, thanks to the 2011 Nature Valley Aspen Winternational Audi FIS Alpine World Cup. Basically, the fastest women in the world (downhill ski…

Austin: Four Seasons Dive in Movie [updated]
The Blind Side is ONLY my favorite movie ever. It has surpassed Top Gun, and nothing had surpassed Top Gun since I saw it in 1995. Or somewhere around then. Anyway, this fall the Four Seasons is hosting Dive in Movies (like Deep Eddy’s, only better, because it’s the FOUR SEASONS) where you can lounge…
Achachay! at TC’s / I am not so good at music
Imma let you in on a lil secret. I recently wrote about TC’s Lounge for Austin Monthly’s Cool Things issue, as it is an undoubtedly Cool place. I got most of my information on the joint from Achachay!’s drummer, one Mr. Ryan Greenblatt. While his sunglasses may arise a Stevie Wonder in you as to…

A few thoughts on Valentine’s Day
I love Valentine’s Day. I’m the girl who makes something for all her friends to show them how much she loves them and because she doesn’t want them to feel left out on such a lovey holiday (also, usually single). But I like that more than the stereotypical romantical Valentine’s Day–could have to do with…
Bar News + Ho Bus T-Shirts
So I’ve heard a few rumors about new or new-ish bars in town, just thought I’d share: Tonight starting at 10 pm is Jason Carrier’s Birthday Party at Molotov. Who? And why do you care? Jason is 1/4 of the Band of Bachelor Bros. that own Dizzy Rooster, Chuggin’ Monkey, Thirsty Nickel, Marq, and now…
Networking 101
The Young Execs of Austin and Austin Recruiters Network Party Meet, mingle and network at Malaia. Despite the fact that I railed on Malaia on twitter this weekend for having a GLASS second floor, it IS pretty cool, so long as you’re wearing pants. Anyway, this party will have lots of meetin’-and-greetin’ and less dancing, so…
Red House Lounge – Stortini + Stortini’s pizza = Red House Pizzeria
It’s a confusing bit of mathematical dining calculations, but basically Stortini’s lounge in the back–the Red House Lounge–was a much bigger success than the restaurant she sat in. So they closed Stortini Bistro. Then, the popular neighborhood bar stole the finer points of its sister restaurant, uh, the pizza, and expanded into the entire space.…
Never too early to plan for New Year’s Eve
I’ve never been big into New Year’s Eve–too much money for the same bars I can go to any other night and not pay bajillion-dollar covers and wait in lines. I had friends go to a concert on NYE once, and even that I deigned to join for the same reason. I’ll happily attend house…
