So it’s a big weekend, like you didn’t know (um, hello Texas vs. Missouri). But in case you missed the, well, boat on three majorly huge weekend-long events, here’s a rundown: Maker Faire – Saturday & Sunday So the Maker Faire expo thingy is a big crafty, makery, nerdy, trendy, roboty shindig. At the Travis…

Free Beer Fests Saturday + a workout
TONS of stuff going on this Saturday. So much that I can’t even remember what to blog about. Well, to be honest, there are the only a few things I might be doing anyway (and don’t be fooled, I won’t be doing ALL of these): Saturday morning: Try Crossfit Women’s Workout Crossfit is all the…
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. I was sold. Then the coffee was great AND I got a Tacodeli breakfast taco … life is great.…
Drambuie Den Tonight & Tomorrow
TWO things to do on Tuesday?! Well, you could actually do this tonight too, as it runs both Monday and Tuesday. It seems like everyone is promoting this event, but then again, who doesn’t want to be a part of free drinks? Drambuie is doing up Pangaea both nights, but you know I love Austin…
Ultimate Frisbee
My brother says that I need to post on more topics, like ultimate frisbee. While his point is that he’d like to see a wider range of coverage, I’m not sure that’s what this is about. Since I’m not an ultimate frisbee afficionado, I don’t KNOW about ultimate frisbee in Austin. I’d happily play, but…
Super Sports Saturday – Free Bikram, Running, Volleyball

Lee. … bring a…
Free Yoga 5pm Today at Seventh Street Yoga
This afternoon, Friday June 13th, Seventh Street Yoga (quite literally on 7th between West & Rio Grande) will be open from 4-7pm and offering a complimentary yoga class at 5pm. You can also shop–their boutique carries the exclusive collection from Zobha, as well as lululemon and Hardtail Forever. I think this is the class they…
Aussie’s Blind Draw 4s This Saturday!
Word on the street is that there are still spots left in Aussie’s Blind Draw 4s tournament for this Saturday! Details: you sign up, they randomly put 4 of you on a team, you play! It’s $25 if you’re just playing, $35 if you want to eat some boiled shrimp too. I’m playing a three-on-three…
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…
Memorial Day Party Barge
Memorial Day is a ridiculous time to try and be on the lakes in and around Austin, mainly because everyone else is trying to do the same! Of course, that’s the very reason you want to be there. This year I’m taking the easy route: Austin SSC’s Party Barge. I’ve been playing sports with the…
