It’s the last weekend of the annual epic week of free music, so go see a show. For a comprehensive list of showtimes the likes of which I couldn’t find anywhere else, head over to see my friends at Ultra8201.

Achachay! at Stubb’s
May 2011 be your biggest year yet, Achachay! p.s.- apparently my mom wore a toga to this New Year’s Eve Eve show?
Austin: New Year’s Eve Start to Finish
Ah, the start of a new year. If you don’t have plans already, don’t fret, Austin is totally a cool town to be plan-less in. Aspen, not so much. Where did my Caribou Club membership card run off to? Anyway, here are my suggestions: Pre-Party: From 4-7pm, let Lovely Austin Boutique help you get ready…
Tamale Tamale Tamale
I tweeted a lot about these babies, and external sources have confirmed: TAMALES ARE AWESOME!! Particularly these tamales. That I made. These are my 3 flavors. I was inspired to make tamales thanks to a new ridiculously awesome Austin blog called HilahCooking.com. Check it out. These are the video instructions I followed (I used vegetable…
MORE MORE MORE Deal Sites!
Can you even keep up? Over the holidays, my mom turned me on to two more sites–MorgansDeals and TheLunchDeal.com, plus I just heard about CrowdSavings.com. I’m going to totally nerd out on you (again) about these flash-sale sites. The things is, they’re awesome. Yes. But they’re a really, really interesting product of our unique place…

Austin: Merry Tamale
Do you know how much I love tamales? I love them a lot. I love them so much that when I found them at ACL (see the tweet), I proceeded to eat them for 3 days straight and almost-but-not-quite grow tired of them. Alas, I must travel to the Farmer’s Market and test my luck…
Austin: the W and TRACE at the W Open
Today the W opens in downtown Austin, and so does TRACE, the in-hotel restaurant focused on conscious cuisine. That means local and seasonal, for those not already in the know. Focusing on Central Texas’ local growers, artisans and purveyors, Staff Forager Valerie Broussard (who also happens to be Slow Food Austin’s Biodiversity Chair) works in tandem…
Austin: QRANK
Confession: I have never played QRANK. I do not get its appeal (perhaps because I have never played it). Nonetheless, PLAY QRANK LIVE! AT JO’S DOWNTOWN, WIN PRIZES! Join Jo’s Hot Coffee Good Food at 7pm TONIGHT, Tuesday, for QRANK Night, with each round there will be prizes as well as drink specials all night long including $3 house…
Infinium Champagne Beer
“Would you like some of my champagne beer?” I asked guests at a recent party. With a champagne-like effervescence, Infinium, a collaboration between Samuel Adams and Weihenstephan, is the new new wine, or the champagne, or the new whatever, it’s downright good. It’s a lot fun: a sort of bubbly, very smooth, beer champagne. Thanks…
