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…

You know how we can never find anything cool to do on Tuesdays?

From 6-8pm, the event features tons of networking opportunities…

Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop

Mmmmm more cupcakes. I know I’ve blogged about quite a few cupcake places, and my reviews are usually pretty good. I mean, it’s pretty hard to screw up a cupcake. (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,…

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…

The north location of campus-fave Tiff’s Treats doesn’t officially open until Saturday (and on Saturday, a dozen cookies are just $2, with proceeds going to Make-A-Wish and random prizes dropped in cookie boxes, so every purchase is a chance to win!), but rsvp to events@cookiedelivery.com and you’re in to the preview, where you get free…

Huge Weekend

I’m exhausting just thinking about this weekend, and it hasn’t even started yet! Apparently Austin does Labor Day big. The highlight: Sunday night’s Nike Human Race. 6:30pm, a million people across the world will be running a 10K. In Austin, our course is a tough one–lots of hills–but pretty, through downtown, campus, the capitol area.…
