You have got to be kidding me. In the midst of one of the greatest gourmet food and wine festivals in the country, there’s a chocolate chip cookie contest?! There’s no way I can go to this … I will eat all of the cookies and be unable to gorge myself further with fabulous food and delicious wine.
However, if you have more self-control than me, you should definitely stop by Aspen Sports on Friday, June 18th, from 3-4pm. The public is the judge, which means you HAVE to sample all of the entries. See? No way I can go. Two divisions for Adults and Children (14 & Under). Prizes for the best chocolate chip cookies.

After I surreptitiously avoid the chocolate, I will be heading to Belly Up for Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes. My way-cooler-than-me bestie from college, Jake, introduced me to Edward Sharpe when he was in Austin, and it remains the one and only time I have been in Waterloo Records checking out new music with a pair of their cool noise-canceling headphone that make you feel like a radio DJ (we were only there as we waited for a table at 24 Diner). Anyway, can’t wait to see him live.
