Sprinkles Cupcakes, my obsession, is offering a Red River Rivalry treat: Proceeds benefit Children’s Medical Center Dallas and Children’s Medical Research Center at the OU Health Sciences Center, respectively. … one more good reason to make the Red River Rivalry trek …

OMG the BEST veggie sandwich I’ve ever had
“I need your advice,” I say to the guy behind the counter at Jo’s on Second Street. “Veggie burger or veggie sandwich?” Without a second’s hesitation, almost before I’ve finished talking, he says, “Veggie sandwich.” Ok. Let me pause here and say that I don’t really like sandwiches. Most of them have too much bread…
Tidbits or Tribeza? Tough Thursday!
I LOVE Austin Tidbits parties. They’re rare (quarterly?), obviously causing them to be more exciting than Tribeza parties, and they usually have fab gift bags and super-fashiony people, making them way more exciting. Not that Tribeza parties don’t have fashiony people–and I will say they draw a fair man-crowd, whereas Tidbits men are randoms off…
Now, a Diatribe on White Pants*
*And other fashiony things I need to get off my chest It’s really hot in Austin, I know. A “cold front” came through tonight and we all got excited because it dropped to 80, but by the time I’m walking around downtown at noon tomorrow, it’ll be 1,956 degrees again and I’ll be sweating through…
Rare magazine party tonight
Mondays rarely feature parties with free booze thrown by magazines, but today is an exception! Rare’s October “Food” launch party at Hyde Park Bar & Grill tonight from 6-8pm. Free tasty bites and cocktails during the party! (SOUTH Hyde Park Bar & Grill location on 4521 West Gate Blvd.)
SkirtChaser!
I try not to write about things in advance, because when I read about cool things too far in advance, I say, “oh, that’s cool, I want to do it” and promptly forget about it. BUT there are some exceptions: when you have to buy a ticket/race entry, or when I’m super-excited about something, or…
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…
Watch the VP Debates!
I can’t remember the last time I heard so much buzz about Vice Presidential candidates debating … or really about them debating at all … most people haven’t cared that much. But this is a different year and a different type of election, so here are two places to watch the debates (if you’re not…
Glossy 8 Party
The Statesman’s style writers are all abuzz about the Glossy 8 party tonight. I’m hoping that means plans are huge and it should be awesome! It’s the first time since I’ve been tracking down Austin events (about 2 years now) that I’ve heard about the Statesman throwing a party, so maybe that’s the buzz. Whatever…
Let’s talk about the Second Street District
Formerly, I was not impressed with the Second Street District. My main beef was that it’s ridiculously hard to park. I get that it’s a mixed-use development and you’re supposed to walk, but say you don’t live there and you still want to shop there–give me just one free parking garage! Bridges on Lamar has…
