Thursday 8-10pm at Kung Fu Saloon, my friend’s company will launch! It’s like Groupon or Living Social BUT totally Austin-centric. “Austin is so much more than weird and wired; we are also well-connected as a city and we tap into this by incorporating local businesses into every aspect of our promotions,” says Localiter founder Kristina…

Dressing Up Ghosts
Ok, not really. First we’re dressing, then we’re ghosting. The new Dress Shop boutique above Elephant Room is finally throwing their kickoff cocktail party to show off fancy frocks from LA and NYC. It’s about time we got a new store in the heart of downtown that wasn’t on Second Street, where it all starts…
Piranha Killer Sushi Opens Today
But the ladies and I nabbed a spot at Piranha Killer Sushi‘s packed soft opening last night and got a chance to sink our teeth deep into the sushi (and martini) menu. In contrast to most of the other sushi places in town, Piranha is bright with lots of light and light-colored wood–the wine racks…
MY Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf: 38th & Lamar
I met a girl yesterday who reads This is Life in Austin, and she described me as “the girl who is obsessed with CrossFit and TRIO happy hour.” Hrmph. Not untrue. But hrmph nonetheless. I’m also pretty admittedly obsessed with Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and Alexandra’s Cookie Dreams cookies. Finally my dreams have come…
Sushi Zushi Opens Today!

But this Saturday I won’t be missing out on any of these awesome events: 9-11:30am: The Movement @ RunTex on Lake Austin Blvd The…
Weekend
Tonight: Achachay! at Dizzy Rooster 8-10pm. I’ve been to this frat-tastic bar only a few times, but all of those times included me dancing on a bar … sober. That boy is headed to Rise Against with Rancid at Stubb’s. Should be a good time, look for a tall Vermon(s)ter standing outside before the show…

Annie’s Grand Opening Tomorrow
Annie’s has gotten lots of buzz lately from foodies and old-timers who miss Apple Annie’s, a 26-year-old restaurant that spent a year catering-only and then reopened its doors as Annie’s just last week. Now (and by now I mean tomorrow, Wednesday, from 10:30am-3pm) is the time for the Grand Opening Celebration. There’ll be a ribbon-cutting…
