Happy Memorial Day, for those of you wine (and beer) drinkers that still have the energy for one more day of fun in the sun this is your event. The Austin Wine & Music Festival combines basically all good things Austin, wine, food, good music, arts, crafts and of course beer. My mouth is waterin...

Its Indy 500 Day, I have watched this race or at least part of it on Memorial Day weekend for as long as I can remember because my dad is a huge fan, so I am very excited that it is race day. I hope that everyone’s Memorial Day weekend is off to a fantastic start. Like I said before, this weeken...

Happy Weekend indeed, nothing gets me or anyone excited like a holiday weekend. I do not think that I am the only one who feels like this is a weekend made for enjoying outdoors and all the good stuff Austin has to offer. Can you believe that is was almost a year ago that Michael Jackson passed,...

I didn’t take the Sunday Brunch Route today because with everyone in town for graduation I thought Brunch places across the city would already be packed. Apparently the LOST Series Finale is tonight, to be honest I have never even seen one episode but I love a Trivia Game and I love Waterloo, so...

First off, one more time, Congratulations all you UT graduates. I’ll be honest, I had planned on blogging on the Austin famed O. Henry Pun-Off tomorrow and awesome annual event happening in Austin every year, http://punpunpun.com/. However, faith intervened and a soldier stationed at Fort Hood r...

I know, I know late on the post today, I lose major points for the whole "planning ahead" thing today. I promise tomorrow I will get back to aiming for posting in the 9:00 hour. However, for those of us that have found it to be a Friday afternoon and you have nothing to do tonight head over to Re...

I debated between going Lake Austin or Travis today but with Travis being full and how we all love it I thought I might as well get it in while it is nice and filled. One of the things that I love most about Austin is that you have the Hill Country combined with these Fresh Water Lakes. Growing u...
