To start off Happy 100th Day of 2010, hope the decade has been good to you so far. I wanted to think of something great to blog on - it being the 100th day of the year and all but then I just decided to go ahead and blog on one of my all time favorite things about Austin, Hula Hut. Hula Hut it is...

Friday night in Austin, might as well get out there and enjoy some of what Austin is best at, live music. Beatles' lovers here you go are, one of the Best Beatles Tribute bands alive. I mean the owners of International Beatles Freak Day (who knew?) announced them Artist of the Month for May 2009....

I am hardcore car lover, I love the smell of new tires, the sound of a good exhaust and the horsepower behind a good engine. I must admit I do prefer an old American muscle car or an exotic sports car that would make your blood run cold if you had a chance to race down the Autobahn but if it's a ...

The only thing better then fun in Austin is free fun in Austin. Now that it is time for the 98.1 KVET Texas Music Series on Wednesday nights it makes me feel as if we have almost reached summer in Austin because in my book these two go hand in hand. The party starts tonight with a personal favori...

Time to give Austin Chronicle's 2009 "Best Hot Dog" a try - you will not be disappointed  in these made to order hot dogs and you Vegetarians out there EVERYTHING on the menu can be made veggie. They are in fact known for their Vegetarian Friendly Chili Dogs, their chili won 2nd place in the 16th...

I woke up this morning with a Case of the Mondays' - sometimes the only motivation I have to get up and get my day started is a good cup caffeine. One of my favorite stops is a Central Austin favorite, Caffe Medici. I love the Clarksivlle/West Lynne area, I'd live closer to this little part of Au...

I'll be honest, I struggled on what to blog on today because I figured there was a large group of people that already had their day planned out. I hate to suggest a brunch place as I do most Sundays because with it being Easter Sunday I am sure Brunch across the city is packed. As a former Longho...

Nope it is not Halloween - it is Easter weekend but dress up your furry friend and bring them out for an afternoon of fun.  I for one love a holiday - if it involves dressing up, even if it is my dog I am in, no question. Pet owners can register ANY pet at Jo's on South Congress (South Congress &...

I have been so excited to blog on this idea since day one but had to wait until the time was right - so here we go. The highly acclaimed TV series "Friday Night Lights" is seeks PAID, yes paid extras! They begin filming  Wednesday April 7th and will film throughout the Austin Area until August.  ...

Once more, Happy April Fools – I hope by now you know me well enough to realize Whataburger had to be some kind of joke. No, I didn’t lose my mind, just wanted to have some fun. Back to why I am really here…to support local Austin and fun things this city has to offer. With it being First Thursda...
