Wimberley Valley Winery
Austin is very fortunate to have so many wineries within a few hours from downtown. The Wimberley Valley Winery is only about an hour drive Southwest from Austin. While the winery has been around since 1983 in April they opened their new tasting room. The building was previously the home for the large tanks and [...]

A Day Trip With The Daytripper
To promote a recent pledge drive the awesome people of KLRU came up with a great promotion. A day trip with Chet Garner of the TV show The Daytripper from Austin to three awesome barbecue joints in Lockhart and Luling which was dubbed “The Meat Up”. Meeting outside the studios we loaded into two tour [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
FunFunFun Fest 2010 Day1
Feeding Austin’s insatiable need for live music, and a bunch of it in one place, FunFunFun Fest has been packing Waterloo Park in the heart of downtown since 2006. This year is no exception with a great lineup. Weird Al Yankovic closed the show on Day 1 with a barrage of costume changes and in [...]
NXNW Oktoberfest 2010
The Oktoberfest celebration is in its 9th year at North by Northwest and is now a Austin tradition with German brews, classic German food and German music. It was a family and dog friendly event with great NXNW beer and food grilled on the spot. It was my first year but it was a lot [...]
UT Longhorns versus Wyoming
Saturday was the first home game for the UT Longhorns against Wyoming. Game time was not until 6 PM which gave plenty of time to tailgate, eat and drink lots of beer. Some of my favorite places were the Saint Arnold Brewery and the Royal’s Lounge tent. Both are around the 18th and Trinity area. [...]
