"The Unofficial Mayor of Austin, Texas."
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 […]
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.

Hard to believe that in a little over a month, the religion known in these parts and throughout the South as college football finally returns. Yes, not that anyone’s counting, but in roughly 50 days, the beautiful sight of NCAA pigskin will make its way back to our flat screens, tailgates, campuses and stadiums throughout the country. […]
If your weekend here in Austin is bordering on the mundane and you find yourself seeking newer locales to hoist a cocktail, I direct you to one of the better additions to the local restaurant and bar scene here in 2012 – drink.well. – a cool, new gastropub located in the funky area in and […]
More and more now, I get asked by both current residents and out-of-towners about unique, off-the-beaten path experiences I recommend checking out here in the Austin area.
