Friday, their new downtown store next to Sparks Cards & Gifts just off the corner of 6th & Lamar finally opens!! There are free classes this weekend,…

Free eyebrow shaping?!
Sometimes, you go to all these events at stores and boutiques and it becomes the same thing: little snacks on white napkins, wine in plastic cups made to look nice, and mini-makeovers. All of which are good things. But when you hear of an event with something entirely new, you get a little bit excited.…
Twin Liquors jumps on the Spec’s/Grapevine Bandwagon
Which isn’t a bad thing. Turn shopping for liquor/beer/wine into shopping for the aforementioned plus cheese/crackers/gourmet food/chocolate and you’ve got yourself a whole afternoon–especially if it’s Friday and samples abound (hi, me, tipsy at Spec’s). The new 15,000 square foot Twin Liquors Marketplace will be in the Hancock Center, just ripe for UT students. The…
I quote: “Free drinks and art viewing”
So said a friend of mine. About one of these events, but I can’t remember which. He had no idea Wednesday is the new Thursday this week and it is jam-packed with events. Wednesday Post-Work Agenda: 1) SHOP Join Austin designer Linda Asaf as she hosts her 4th Annual Austin Designer Sample Sale. Head to…
James Bond, Aston Martins, and you
Deep sigh … so Aston Marton and the Intercontinental Stephen F. Austin are hosting a Quantum of Solace preview to benefit LifeWorks … if only I had $125-$200 to go to the exclusive party … I don’t even know that I like Bond that much, it just seems like the epitome of cool: seeing the…

Love the later time, it allows for a workout between work and networking! Six Lounge Mezzanine Tuesday, 7 –…
El Chilito is now downtown!
I had a friend who used to live near the original El Chilito (the taco-stand version of El Chile) on Manor Road and she used to talk almost incessantly about how good El Chilito was, and how she lived off their tacos in college. So when I found out that El Chilito Numero Dos is…
Sunday Afternoon Veggie Chili Cook-Off
They may bill it as the Vegetarian Chili Cook-Off, but all the chili actually has to be vegan! It’s just $8 to sample all the chilis there, and teams get wild with their booth decorations and themes. Sunday from 12-4 at the Historic Austin Farmer’s Market 6701 Burnet Rd. There are also door prizes, live…
Tonight is the Night! Blondes vs. Brunettes!
The event I’ve totally been pimping for weeks on end (is anyone sick of me hyping it yet?) is finally here! BLONDES VS. BRUNETTES KICK-OFF PARTY is tonight! I am so pumped. You’ve got to pick up your wristband before 5pm today or you won’t get access to the free bar tab! Or get to…
National Music Blogger Event
This event is going to be badass all around. Starts out with some of the biggest names in music blogging (hello, Gorilla vs. Bear practically started the blogging movement, then propelled hundreds of bands to national recognition!) talking about how they became mainstrean–so helpful for a blogger, so fascinating for a non-blogger. Then there’s a…
