"The Unofficial Mayor of Austin, Texas."
It’s no secret in my world that given any opportunity, I love to hit the open road, especially with my trusty sidekick, Sir Shiner Dog…the thrill of new discoveries and experiences can’t be beat, let alone the excellent chance to get “off the beaten path.” Windows rolled down, sunroof open, tunes turned up. These are […]
Already highly anticipating SXSW 2013 here in Austin, Sir Shiner Dog would like to wish each and everyone of you an excellent and Happy New Year! Best wishes from Hipster Shiner for a tremendous 2013!
With December already upon us and year’s end in sight, Sir Shiner Dog would like to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you, and your families a very Happy Holiday Season, best wishes for an extremely fun-filled 2013 and continued celebration of all the wonderful, finer things in this great adventure […]
While seeming incredibly unrealistic to me, today, I celebrate a whopping 39 years on this amazing carnival ride we call life. Considering I still feel like a kid at heart, continue to live life to the fullest (as best I can) and, honestly, have no immediate plans of “growing up” anytime soon, I felt it […]
You may not have realized it, but this past Sunday was National Dog Day, a special day to celebrate dogs and encourage adoption across this great land, that has helped to save the lives of over 1 Million dogs since 2004. Since I am so very fortunate to have an amazing pooch in the one and […]
I think the 1971 hit single by Rod Stewart, “Every Picture Tells A Story,” nails it best…sometimes there really are no words to describe many of the amazing experiences we are fortunate to undertake during our time here. One such adventure is a road trip I took back in late July with my best buddy, […]
The wait is nearly over! Believe it or not, at long last, in just a few weeks, the glorious time of year we know as football season returns! For one, I can tell you, I have a four-legged friend here at home who is as fired up as anyone for toe to finally hit leather […]
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 […]
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 […]
The world had absolutely no idea the greatness that occurred on July 22, 2008, when, in the small Central Texas town of Elgin, was born a Golden Retriever, to be named Sir Shiner Dog, who has since taken the phrase “Viva La Vida” to new heights and who’s mere existence is one to witness […]
