Beets and Cans and Cans and Beets

Beets Cafe has already generated enough buzz in Austin for you to look at an invite to its Grand Opening and say, huh? Hasn’t it been open awhile?
Yes. But THIS is a GRAND OPENING, a party the likes of which are … well, pretty often in Austin. But this is extra awesome, so check it out: Beets opens at 10am.

3:30pm: Speaker: Cheryl Lyn Van Kirk of Star Flower Essentials Organic Food Grade Skin Care, followed by hand facials

8pm: Organic Wine and Music

From 7-9pm, the entire Gables building that Beets is in will be hosting its opening event as well, check out the flyer for deets on free Sushi Zushi, Beets, cocktails, and music!

Before you get your grub on, though, hit up CrossFit Central’s Free UTB boot camp Relentless-style workout. Details here. They’re capping it at 60 people, so don’t be like me and show up at 8:35am for the 8:30 workout. Won’t cut it this time.

More ready for indoor fun? Check out a giant all-aluminum-can CANSTRUCTION design-build competition. What time? I have no idea. Surely it’ll be on display all day?
