One year ago, I was introduced to a new non-profit with a bold goal: award at least fifty $25,000 grants to Austin musicians every year (if it’s too early for math, that adds up to more than one million dollars). Like most Austinites, the founders of Black Fret love our local music scene and want to […]
3 Austin Comedy Showcases You Can’t Miss
I should open this with a joke. After all, this is a comedy article. I won’t though. While I do have my moments, I will leave the jokes to the professionals and simply tell you where to find them. Comedians come with different styles, personalities and preferences. For some reason, folks don’t always understand this. […]
Kids in a New Groove Changing the Lives of Texas Foster Kids
I first met Karyn Scott this past May while attending a training course for her non-profit organization, Kids in a New Groove.

Throughout her career as a prosecutor, […]
Can Austin Music Foundation Continue to Serve Our Local Musicians?
Every person in Austin should be familiar with the Austin Music Foundation.

Old Austin Still Alive at North Loop Food Park
The North Loop House & Yard is a slice of Austin located just off of 53rd and Airport Blvd. Despite showcasing some of our city’s most unique food and people, it’s an easy place to pass without noticing. If you get the chance, stop by. You won’t be disappointed. This small cluster of trailers is […]
Departure Lounge Takes Dine and Dash to a Whole New Level
Editor’s Note: Departure Lounge closed its downtown location in July 2017. Owner Keith Waldon plans to open a new location in the airport. Austin loves to mix things up. We want great food and drinks while watching the latest releases at the Drafthouse, or a quick round of embarrassing karaoke after rolling a few frames at The […]
Reflections on 2013 Veterans Day Ceremony at the Texas State Capitol
I’m proud to live in a state that takes care of its veterans. From property tax exemptions to complimentary state park admission, from vocational rehabilitation to specialty license plates, Texas has numerous policies in place to support veterans and ease the visible and invisible burdens they bring home after armed conflict. I attended the 2013 […]
Stitch Lab: Sew Cute!
For the past four years, there has been a serious party going on. I am sad to say, I have been missing out on some very fun times. Fortunately, the party is far from over. Did I mention this is a CRAFT party? To be specific, a sewing party, and the ladies at Stitch Lab […]
Explore Artwork by Local Homeless at Art From the Streets Annual Event
One of the most magnetic things about Austin is that our streets, walls, and residents are billboards of color, creativity, and experimentation. Art is a way of life here and personality is praised. Therefore, it was no surprise when Art From the Streets hit our radar: a non-profit that uses art to help local homeless […]
