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. [...]
Nocturnal Festival Texas, 2010
Just as the name suggests, Nocturnal Fest is a four stage all night party where the gates don’t even open until the sunset is drawing near and the gates don’t close until the sun is coming up. Over the labor day weekend twenty five thousand ravers descended upon the small town of Rockdale Texas with [...]
Seaholm Power Plant, Austin TX
The Seaholm Power Plant officially ceased operations in 1989 and the plant has pretty much remained a dormant structure until the last few years. Rather than demolition the City of Austin opted to use the building as a focal point of development in the area. In the last year it has hosted multiple outdoor music [...]
Girl Talk – Free Press Summer Fest 2010
Girl Talk had the whole crowd moving on Saturday night at FPSF. If this doesn’t make you bob your head and want to throw your hands in the air nothing will. Here are some pictures from Day 1 and Day 2 of the fest.
Free Press Summer Fest Sunday 2010
Day two of Free Press Summer Fest 2010 picked up right up where day one left off. It was hot, 105 on the feels like index, and then around 3 PM mother nature threw us a change up, a mid-summer down pour. If you had fancy pants tickets the fancy pants tent was the place [...]
Free Press Summer Fest Saturday 2010
Free Press Summer Fest, I’m impressed. Even though Free Press says on their twitter profile that they hate Austin, it is a great event. Being used to ACL, FPSF is a warm up to ACL. It is easy to get to the event and I love the hill that looks down on the stages. I [...]
The Oasis on Lake Travis, Austin
Hands down, The Oasis on Lake Travis is the best place in Austin to watch the sunset. Perched a few hundred feet above Lake Travis with decks pointing due West it offers a picture perfect view. In June of 2005, lightning struck The Oasis and destroyed 80% of the decks. After the fire the Oasis [...]
Austin Wine & Music Festival 2010
Three days of good wine, good music and good food. That’s what The Austin Wine & Music Festival provided this year. Even with the temperature creeping towards 100 degrees thousands came out to The Domain to get a taste of great Texas wine. I did have a grilled cheese sandwich from Chedds and it was [...]
Austin TXRD
Hell on wheels. That is what comes to mind as I watch some of the toughest women in Austin strap on roller skates and fly around a banked track in a controlled chaos. This ain’t no Disney on Ice. Here you might might draw blood, will likely get an elbow to the ribs and can [...]
Shinedown
Shinedown performed at the Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo in Austin on 03-25. Even in the middle of an arena full of horse crap they were the shit. During the show Brent Smith, the lead vocalist, mentioned that they have not been here in about five years and were blown away by the people [...]
