Austin: Choose Your Documentary: Taxes or Music?
As I just paid an inconveniently large sum of money to the government in the form of taxes, I particularly advise you to drop by The Blanton tomorrow night for a showing of the documentary “An Inconvenient Tax.” The documentary sheds light on one of America’s messiest problems — a fundamentally broken tax code that…
Austin: hopdoddy burger bar
All the way from Aspen, the buzz on hopdoddy burger bar is loud. So obviously it was one of my first stops as soon as I got back to town. In the old Cissi’s Market spot on South Congress, hopdoddy burger bar is serious about meat but whimsical without being cheeky everywhere else. Great vibe, and it…
Austin: Easy Tiger (or, another 24 Diner post)
I leave for a just a bit and return to a dino bone parking lot under 35 and more bars and food trailers in Rainey than I can count. Downtown is sprawling, and come May, there’ll be this year’s Eastside Showroom, a bakery and beergarden called Easy Tiger, sure to be the foodie-and-mixologist crowd’s new fave. At 709…
Austin: You Know We’ve Made It When We Get a Blowdry Bar
Blo, North America’s Original Blow Dry Bar, is coming to Austin. That’s right, we’re now trendy and ritzy enough (we DO have a W, people) to have a salon dedicated to the blowout. I remember at 15 asking my mom’s stylist what a “blowout” was (because I read it in all the magazines, natch) and she…

I <3 Red Black Gym
Y’all know I like my workouts to look like play … Nature’s Garage Gym was my own personal playground, and then I did workouts on an actual playground. Well today I got to return to my roots at the Red Black Gym (nee SicFit) with the 1:15pm class with Big Mike. LOVED IT! Warmup: lots of…
