On the topic of July 4th and celebrating our independence, no one is more proud of their freedom and ability to live without boundaries than Shiner Dog. In fact, this year, he’s taking his celebrations to a whole new level.

One of the unique benefits and excellent perks of working at a radio station is the ability to witness an inordinate amount of stellar live music. During my time spent working as on-air talent at KGSR Radio Austin, one of my favorite experiences has been catching acts in the intimate setting of the KGSR Music […]
Honoring An Austin Legend
July 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment
On April 20th, 2012, a date right appropriate considering his penchant for smokin’ herb, Austin icon and country music legend, Willie Nelson was on hand to help unveil a bronze statue honoring him at the corner of Lavaca Street and “Willie Nelson Way,” otherwise known at 2nd Street, in downtown ATX. Located adjacent to ACL […]

In our current society, progress and technology have, without a doubt, taken over many experiences in our lives enjoyed in years past, when we existed in a simpler time and place. However, one staple in my world that will remain, as long as this world will let it, is the beauty and thrill of visiting […]
Ever Had a Sh*tty Sunday?

Among the very best places to take a visitor to Austin, in my mind, has to be one of the finest dive bars on the planet – Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon – in North Austin, between 45th Street and Koenig (FM 2222) on Burnet Road. What you will find at Ginny’s, will, quite simply, rock […]
The Bronzed and The Beautiful

As Texans, we are naturally proud people. Proud of our history. Proud of our past. Proud of our heroes. Proud of those who have come before us…and who also walk among us. That said, here in Austin, we honor those greats and legends with some “Texas-sized” statues from sports greats to brilliant musicians to those […]
The Finest ‘Rest Area’ in Texas
June 29, 2012 by Leave a Comment
When venturing out to the newly thriving bars and restaurants of “hipster haven” East Austin, I seriously doubt the average Joe is privy to the historic final resting place for many legendary notables from the Lone Star State located just blocks away at the Texas State Cemetery. Admittedly, I was one of them. Until I […]

The headline says it all about Austin’s latest addition to the boutique hotel market – Heywood Hotel – located just a stone’s throw from downtown, east of I-35 on Cesar Chavez. A three year project by owner, Kathy Setzer, has resulted in an excellent new lodging option inside a fully renovated and restored 1920’s Craftsman-style […]
Mess With Me, And You Mess With The Whole Trailer Park

By now, whether you live in Austin or have visited this great town, you are probably aware of the influx of food trucks and trailers to our local dining scene. Not just in one particular area of town, but all over the place! From what I am told, Austin is second only to Portland, Oregon […]
Good Morning, Sunshine

When it comes to Texans, we’re all about tradition and doing things “our way.” Prior to moving back to the Lone Star State in 2008, I had honestly forgotten how much we LOVE to start our day off with, not only coffee and a hot shower, with BREAKFAST TACOS! Like showing up to work without […]
