Deep Eddy Dive-In Movie
Okay, okay, I made up the “Dive-In Movie” part, they call it “Splash Party Movie Night,” which is just boring. And this picture looks like it’s from 1993. Anyway, summer Saturdays at Deep Eddy feature a movie projected onto a screen, which you can watch while floating in the pool! Freakin’ sweet. It’s a family…
Speed Dating
So apparently we haven’t had speed dating in Austin before? I don’t know, as I meet all my dates in the gym or in the bars, but Speed Date Austin is welcoming itself to town with a party at Gruv this Friday night. The registration is full, but you can get on the wait list–and…
What a Memorial Day Weekend
Phew, I am exhausted. And dehydrated, but that’s my own fault for not drinking enough water for three days of playing in the sun. I did manage to escape without any hint of a sunburn–my mom is so proud! So contrary to my earlier post about toobing the Guadalupe, apparently people go to other places…

Not that it sounds all that different from normal networking functions to me, except that it draws a different sort of crowd. Apparently it’s quite the singles scene, as well, so business cards are exchanged as much for dates as they are for…
Crushed Ice
… so maybe trying to get pre-crushed ice the day before the Kentucky Derby, when everyone and their grandmother is serving mint juleps to parties-full, is a bad idea. Nonetheless, I set out to fulfill my needs at Party Barn–a place I had never been, but drove past often. Party Barn is just that: a…
Costco Liquors vs. Spec’s
I’m hosting a Kentucky Derby party on Saturday afternoon–more because it was a good excuse to get dressed up than because I’m super-into the Derby itself–so I set out on my buying liquor mission yesterday. Before Spec’s came to town, Costco Liquors was THE cheapest place to buy liquor (and a small selection of beer…
