The first Feel Good Friday of 2015! 2014 was a year of steadiness, of stability, of growth, of peace, and patience. In 2014, I visited Aspen, Austin, Leakey (Texas), New Orleans (twice!), Denver, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Ireland, Hawaii, Sonoma wine country, Big Sur, and Park City. I made new friends, I reconnected with old ones. I…
I don’t think I ever blogged about the time I tried out for a reality TV show. It was that not-very-interesting show where participants vied for a job at Elle. In the casting, they basically told me that I would be really boring to watch because I was too nice and too talented for the…

I remember when the “old” Mighty Fine was new, in the Arbor Walk, when the Arbor Walk was still new too … oh, Austin, you’re growing up so fast. Anyway, before I romantically delve into the past, Mighty Fine Burgers is the burger version of Austin-standby Rudy’s BBQ. The menu keeps it simple with burger…
6-8pm tonight at The Ranch, open bar for players & coaches (& anyone who commits to raise $250 for the event) Aren’t you glad I’m not this excited about every happy hour?!
Man, I love yelp.com. Once again they’re hosting an open party with free drinks, food, and swag. Only this time the free drinks are Treaty Oak rum and some other vodka I’ve never heard of and FREE SUGAR MAMA’S CUPCAKES.

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.…
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…
