My Friends Doing Rad Things: BareBands UPDATED!

It’s no secret I love entrepreneurship, so I especially LOVE when my friends are doing it! Check out BareBands, a new minimalist, swappable, customizable watch. I know this guy (fellow Rice U alum + bro’s lacrosse teammate): And I donated $60 to the indiegogo so that I can have this watch when it’s ready in…

Austin: Genius TIKKR Watch Bar Crawl

In one of the best marketing ideas I’ve heard in a long time, join Austin-based watch-maker TIKKR for a West Sixth bar crawl where the drinks are free IF you’re sporting the right wristband–a TIKKR watch, natch. Genius? Genius. Thursday night, the party starts at 8pm at Dirty Bill’s (511 Rio Grande), then proceeds to…

GOOD LUCK!

All the cool kids are at the South Central Regional at GSX in Fort Worth competing this weekend! There will be streaming live coverage all day Saturday and Sunday at http://live.crossfit.com. I am SO bummed I can’t be there to watch, but between the streaming coverage and CrossFit Central’s twitter stream and SicFit.com, I’m pretty…

UT National Championship Game Watching Parties

Obviously every bar in a 100-mile radius of Austin will be showing THE BIG GAME, and people will be out watching and hopefully celebrating despite the “BIG CHILL” of oh-ten. I will be in Denver, Colorado, also freezing my ass off because the only burnt orange I own is a t-shirt, and cheering and jumping…

New permanent feature of This is Life in Austin

I’m excited to announce that I’ve installed a new page focused entirely on trends. This isn’t months out–this is what you need to go to the store, buy today, and wear tonight. Some of it will be unreasonable ($795 shoes?!), but it’s all about inspiration, people. So enjoy! Click on the tab above, or this…

Friday Night Bikes (& Guinness)

Ride your bike to Mellow Johnny’s, pay $10, and be rewarded with apps, wine, and watching Lance peddle in Cali. I didn’t like the shop the one time I went, but now that I know the Juan Pelota joke, I can’t help but promote anything to do with it. Ends just in time to peddle…

Super Bowl Sunday Game Day Ideas

I love football. I love college football. I love the Super Bowl. I do not care much about the NFL for the other 364 days a year–take away the Oilers and Warren Moon and replace them with what? The Texans? My 8-year-old-self clutching her Super Bowl mug in an XL Oilers t-shirt can’t help but…

First Impression: Free Crossfit Workout

So I hit up the free Crossfit workout Wednesday night, and it was a lot of fun. I haven’t been able to go back since, and I want to, because I think there’s got to be more to it than I experienced. I had fun, but here’s the breakdown: Wednesday was a team session. After…

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…
