Fun Fun Fun Fest 2011, Sunday
FunFunFun Fest 2011 is in the books. Sunday gave way to some wet stuff from the sky to knock down some of the dust but overall it was a perfect overcast day for a festival along with plenty of good music as far as the ear could hear. I think the choice to move the [...]

Texas Longhorns vs Rice 2011
Rather you like it or not, if you live in Austin September marks the beginning of Longhorn mania. Personally, I love it. I love to tailgate, I love going to the games, I love yelling on third downs and I got the chance to do all of these on week one of the season against [...]
Austin Symphony Concerts in the Park
From May through August the Hartman Foundation along with the Austin Symphony put on the seventh year of Concerts in the Park. The Long Center gave just enough protection from the setting sun to make the sometimes unbearable Texas heat not much of a factor. Some came with nothing but a blanket to sit on [...]
Bat Fest 2011
Little did engineers know in 1980 that their decision to create crevices beneath the Congress Street Bridge during renovations would make an ideal place for bats to roost. Shortly after, bats started to move in by the thousands. Although they were not immediately embraced, the bats have become a must see in Austin. Thousands braved [...]
Pig Vicious, Austin
If you know me you know my favorite food in the whole entire world is macaroni and cheese. If it is my first visit and you have it on the menu you better believe I’m going to try it. So was the case when I visited the Pig Vicious food trailer for the first time. [...]
Master Pancake Theater, Austin
What better place to watch a movie than the Alamo Draft House and what better way to watch movies like Forest Gump, Titanic, Mad Max and Twilight than with comedic commentary through out the movie. Along the lines of the well known Mystery Science Theater 3000, Master Pancake Theater puts a new spin on the [...]
Love Balls Bus
With a name like Love Balls I couldn’t resist stopping by and seeing what they had to offer. Yes, I had my fair share of ball jokes but I think I was outdone by my wife’s Yelp review to the theme of ACDC’s “Big Balls”. Their website even embraces the light hearted jokes that are [...]
Contigo, Austin
I stopped by Contigo last night for the first time. According to their website the grand opening is May 7th but as is often the case they have been open for almost two weeks. As (bad) luck would have it an unusual May cold front blew into Austin leading to most people abandoning their otherwise [...]
Railroad Revival Tour, Austin
Having played in Austin more times than any other city in the U.S. many music lovers in Austin, and SXSW fans, knew of the London natives Mumford & Sons before their memorable performance with Bob Dylan at the Grammys. On the heels of that performance which thrust them into most radio stations rotations they put [...]
