I’ve been mulling over buying a scooter. We all know I’ve tried to be eco-friendly, but the biking was more funny that practical. Plus, for a fashionable gal, it’s just not practical in the summer heat–I can’t show up everywhere with helmet-hair and sweat stains! Perhaps a Vespa would keep me cooler … But alas,…

Lanai’s Grand Opening!
So I’ve been talking about how awesome Lanai is and how you should go for awhile now … almost a month? But they’re finally hosting their Grand Opening party Thursday night! From 8-10pm, there will be free “tastings” of their signature cocktails and apps. At 10, the place morphs into “Shy Town Night” with DJ…
From Ultra Lounge to Cookie Lounge
You know Austin is big when we have an Ultra Lounge (Pangaea) AND a Cookie Lounge. One of the top 10 pastry chefs in the nation, Mark Chapman, former executive pastry chef at the Driskill, schemed up Cookie Lounge as a customizable cookie shop and delivery service. Here’s the main draw: customers choose from six…
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…

(Well, that’s not really true, because Hey! Cupcake figured out how pretty easily) But after all the buzz Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop has been getting, in…
Sunday’s Gluten Clash
Presuming Ike doesn’t cancel everything–and that’s a big presumption, since the UT-Arkansas game is already off (though this hoopla continues to amaze me … there’s only a 60% chance of rain tomorrow?!)– this Sunday looks to be a huge Gluten Clash, pitting the gluten-free Got Guts 5K vs. gluten-heavy Italian Festival: Got Guts 5K Run,…
(512) Brew Kick-Off Party at Zax
Yeah, yeah, I’m still in Ecuador. But if I was in Austin, I’d head to Zax this Wednesday for the (512) Brewing Kick-Off Party … owner and brewer Kevin Brand will be on hand starting at 6pm to mingle and chat about his new brewery, and anyone who buys a (512) Brew gets a commemorative logo…
I’m Off To Ecuador!
Tomorrow morning bright and early I’m headed to the airport to fly to Ecuador! I’m meeting my brother, who is already down there, for 8 days of adventures with volcanoes, hiking, and surfing. I can’t wait! Of course, I won’t be blogging because I have limited access to the internet. I’ve posted a few entries…
