"The Unofficial Mayor of Austin, Texas."
When it comes to the favorite aspects of “My Austin,” I can’t overlook my love and appreciation for the amazing sunsets and picturesque skies we are gifted with on a frequent basis all over this town, whether that be out at “The Sunset Capital of Texas,” The Oasis on Lake Travis, looking west from Lake […]
When it comes to the Live Music Capital of the World, Austin, Texas has no shortage of excellent music venues. Going on five years of living in this amazing town and I continue to stumble upon tremendous locations to catch great performances. Whether visitors in from out-of-town or local residents, I often get asked where […]
More and more of late, I get asked for recommendations here in Austin for the latest and greatest bars and restaurants that are either “off the beaten path” or “yet to be discovered.” Well, add another to the list, gang. Last night, I attended the Grand Opening of yet another excellent locale within downtown’s extremely […]
Combine sweet threads with live music and what do you get? Weirdcity, a new Austin-lifestyle brand and brainchild of local Austinite, Anderson Price. The original idea for Weirdcity sprung from Anderson’s love of music as well as his desire to give back to his hometown musicians. “I was inspired to create a product that spoke […]
It’s incredibly amazing to me how quickly time flies and months rip through the calendar. All of a sudden, I look up and it’s the end of July 2012. That said, however, all is not lost on the swift movement of Father Time, considering the onset of the latter half of the year means two […]
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 […]
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 […]
