"The Unofficial Mayor of Austin, Texas."
It’s no secret how much I love time spent in and around this great city of Austin, but here in the Lone Star State, we are also extremely fortunate to have a wealth of excellent options for adventures and fun just a short drive in any direction from the Capital City. Whether you’re in the […]
When one thinks of “Dirty Sixth” in downtown Austin, the tendency is picture 18-and-up shot bars, seedy dives and panhandlers, not unlike that of Bourbon Street in New Orleans. However, this past January, close to the intersection of Sixth and I-35 opened up a gem of a new joint in ATX called Easy Tiger Bake […]
July 2012 and we’re in the midst of another excellent Summer. If you find yourself with a unsatiable desire to get away from the everyday, there’s no better time than now to pack’er up and hit the open road. That said, if you’re in the mood for great live music at a super cool inaugural […]
Just back to Austin after an absolutely amazing three days on the road with Shiner Dog – far, far away from these parts – way out in West Texas to Big Bend National Park, Marfa, Alpine, Fort Davis, and a lengthy, scenic, off-the-beaten path drive back, yesterday, through Del Rio, Uvalde, Concan, Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville and […]
For a fan of the game of golf that I am, aside from The Masters in Augusta, Georgia in early Spring, the Open Championship stands at the very top of my list of favorite tournaments. An event that rotates between the finest links courses in the U.K., this year’s Open is being held this week […]
Having grown up in Atlanta, Georgia, it’s around this time of the Summer when the Metting posse would take our annual vacation, along with hordes of other families from throughout the Southeast, down to one of my absolute favorite areas of the world – Florida’s beautiful Emerald Coast and the Beaches of South Walton. […]
There’s no secret that I have a hankerin’ for the different, the bizarre, the off-the-beaten-path and certainly the humorous and entertaining. Well, that said, I stumbled upon another experience this past weekend in South Austin that pretty much wraps’em all up in one big ass celebration of life – Sunday Hippie Church at Maria’s Taco […]
Short, sweet, and to the point here today. We’re in the midst of Summer and, believe it or not, 2012 is already half way over. While there’s already been some excellent music released so far this year, here in July, the hits just keep on comin’. Here’s a list of ten albums that are well […]
Since I have moved to Austin in 2008, I have been amazed by the explosion of the local craft beer scene here in Central Texas. Striving to reach the regal brewing ranks of great cities like Portland, Chicago, Denver and Seattle, Austin is now home to roughly 20 microbreweries and brewpubs scattered about town, according to the outstanding publication […]
Those who know me best can vouch for the fact that when I go out and hit the town, chances are, at some point in the night, you’ll find me at one of the many outstanding Austin dive bars with proximity to a jukebox. There’s nothing like havin’ the freedom to “play DJ,” pickin’ some […]
