My Friends Doing Rad Things: BareBands UPDATED!

It’s no secret I love entrepreneurship, so I especially LOVE when my friends are doing it! Check out BareBands, a new minimalist, swappable, customizable watch. I know this guy (fellow Rice U alum + bro’s lacrosse teammate): And I donated $60 to the indiegogo so that I can have this watch when it’s ready in…

Hot Mama’s Room to Read

I’ve been partial to Hot Mama’s Espresso Bar ever since I wandered in one day to be greeted by an infectiously cheerful voice saying, “Hey there, hot mama!” without a hint of anything except genuine affection.
