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
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
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
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.

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
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. […]
Mel Brooks’ Broadway Musical Young Frankenstein In Austin!
Check out what is coming to Austin this weekend. Young Frankenstein, the side-splitting Broadway musical, will be on stage live at the Long Center for the Performing Arts. The Austinot will be spending an evening in the castle of Dr. Frankenstein – oops, I mean Fronkensteen – and his snarky servant Igor. Very few stories […]
