Editor’s Note: As of June 2016, BAM Academy has two locations at 8222 N. Lamar Blvd. Suite F51-54 and 113 Industrial Blvd. Suite C-1. The humidity rolled through BAM Academy and settled over us like the thick crocheted blanket that used to adorn my grandmother’s plastic covered couch. A series of shop fans stoically performed their intended task. I […]
Museum of the Weird on 6th St. Draws National Attention with Oddities
Austin is weird, right? It’s how we’ve branded the city. We’ve all seen the tie-dye shirts, but how weird is Austin really? Is it mermaid mummy weird? Is it shrunken head weird? The Museum of the Weird on 6th St. is that weird. The Iceman Cometh When Steve Busti was just a young lad, he […]
23rd St. Artists’ Market: For the People, By the People
A couple of years ago when my fiancé and I were first dating, I took her to the Drag. We ate at Dirty Martin’s and went for a walk. Coming across the 23rd St. Artists’ Market, we perused the booths and went about our day’s adventures. Little did I know, we had actually come across an […]
Get AMPed at United We Jam Music Fest This Weekend
Is Austin the Live Music Capital of the World? Yes, but one thing people don’t often consider is how the city earned this moniker: by creating a friendly atmosphere towards musicians and venues. Why AMP Is Important As Bob Dylan once famously wrote, “The times, they are a changing.” Austin isn’t the same city that […]
Longhorn Bikes Will Steer You Straight
We all know that Austin is a cycling city. We’ve all seen the pedicabs downtown, the fixed gear riders slicing through traffic and that one dude riding his daughter’s pink mountain bike back from the corner store in the wrong gear, with lotto tickets hanging out of his back pocket. So far, I’ve written two […]
A Concert That Will Leave You Without Regrets
On August 10th, the sweet sound of music will drift north across Ladybird Lake as Threadgill’s and KLBJ FM help the Without Regrets Foundation throw their second annual benefit concert. The Charity Without Regrets was founded in Dripping Springs, Texas in June, 2011. Four months later in October, they officially gained their non-profit status. Co-founders […]
Buckle Up for Turtle Racing at Little Woodrow’s
I mopped my brow as the stiff summer breeze did little to alleviate the sweltering heat on the porch of Little Woodrow’s 6th St. location. I bit my lower lip and placed my ticket stub in bucket two. Standing next to a bucket in the middle of a small area with a checkered circle, BDOE […]
Up & Down Tour Pleases Beer Drinkers and Coffee Fanatics Alike
If there is anything I can say about my fellow Austinites, it’s that they surely love two things: coffee and beer. This is why I was stoked about participating in the Up & Down Tour, hosted by Casa Brasil and South Austin Brewing Company. After all, what better way to kill two birds with one […]
Hot Lava Obstacle Course: New Place in Austin to Hang Around
Editor’s Note: Hot Lava Obstacle Course has permanently closed. When I was five years old, we lived in a small house with a detached garage. This garage had a tree growing next to it. It was my goal to climb this tree and get on the garage roof. What really ended up happening was that I […]
Bikers Set to Party During 19th Annual ROT Rally
There’s always something going on in our humble town. Usually it comes in the form of some festival or another. Sometimes it’s a concert series or a cartoon character’s birthday. Still, there are other events that cater to a different type of crowd. The type of crowd that will party until the sun comes up. […]
