Austin State Hospital Hosts Easter Egg Hunts and 5K Race

Posted on April 5, 2012 by Dustin Vegas

 The Easter season has finally arrived. The gray skies are bright blue now and the sun hangs in the sky a bit longer every day. The time has come for Austinites to leave our indoor hibernations and get back into the world. If you are still looking for a reason or way to start dropping those winter […]

The Blanton – A Great Austin Museum For UTexas Students

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Dustin Vegas

Visiting an Austin museum can be a rare experience for UTexas students who would rather spend their downtime on 6th Street. The Blanton Museum of Art, however, is something every Longhorn should take the time to see. I spent an afternoon walking around the museum to pin down exactly why I love it so much. If […]

Black Star Co-op Serves Austin Food, Beer and Democracy

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Dustin Vegas

Black Star Coop Brewery in Austin, Texas

Black Star Co-op is a revolutionary new Austin brewpub. So when I was told to review their food and beer, I solemnly bowed my head to the orders of Austinot Eric. What can I say, we all must sacrifice occasionally. Neither stout nor IPA nor pilsner nor gloom of porters will stay this blogger from the […]

Kick Butt Coffee Closed In Triangle; Still Kickin On Airport

Posted on March 26, 2012 by Dustin Vegas

Open Mic Poetry at Kick Butt Coffee

In the words of Douglas Adams: “Don’t panic.” Kick Butt Coffee is not closed for good. It just left The Triangle and went back to its roots. Kick Butt Coffee’s empty space in The Triangle stands out like a missing tooth. The coffee shop’s here-today-gone-tomorrow departure has left a lot of people scratching their heads: […]

UTexas Memes – A Picture Course For Longhorns

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Dustin Vegas

Yo_Dawg_Meme_Picture

“What exactly is a meme?” fellow UTexas Longhorns often ask me. Picture me stuttering and pursing my lips. Of course I know what a meme is,  but it’s not the simplest thing to describe. Nonetheless, I feel that it is my duty to provide a quick introductory course as a Longhorn and avid Internet-goer. UTexas […]

The Tao of Zilker – Philosophy And SXSW 2012 Events

Posted on March 18, 2012 by Dustin Vegas

SXSW_Green_Belt_Trail

SXSW involved choosing between countless events for me. There were endless decisions to make – where to eat, who to listen to, what films to see. People could not stop talking about which artists were worth their time and money. After a week of decisions and complex plans, my friends and I took some time […]

People Watching at SXSW 2012

Posted on March 13, 2012 by Dustin Vegas

Marcus Eddie is a magician's magician. He can blow a crowd away using only two rubber bands.

Forget meeting people at the SXSW parties. People watching is the best way to experience all the different personalities SXSW brings to Austin. There was a soft, hungover buzz in the air when I began watching my fellow festival-goers today. The city stirred back to life after yet another night of company-sponsored parties and after parties. […]
