Austin: Free Yoga at the Four Seasons!
How cool is the Four Seasons? Not only is it a total celeb hotspot (most recent sighting? Jessica Simpson and her cutie ex-NFL boyfriend), but they’ve been doing things just for us locals like Dive-In Movies, TRIO Happy Hour, Austin Restaurant Week, and now this! Allow me to introduce Yoga on the Lawn. The Spa…

Aspen: Golden Leaf Half Marathon
I had full plans to run the Vasque Golden Leaf Half Marathon, named by Trail Runner as one of “America’s 14 most scenic races”, which gains 970 feet in elevation on a narrow, winding singletrack before peaking out at 9,400 feet above sea level … but then I ran the Aspen Valley Half Marathon in…
Austin: TGITailgating
Thank goodness for tailgating! You wouldn’t really know it’s fall in Austin without hordes of burnt-orange-clad revelers crowding the streets of campus. Three of my top picks (two are recurring, one is this weekend only): La Condesa’s awesome tailgate 17th & Congress from 12 pm – 6 pm for all home games FREE Grilled Mexican Street Corn and…
Aspen: Only 63 days ’til ski season … The Meeting

Today through Sunday, The Meeting welcomes winter sport lovers, top athletes and renowned filmmakers with parties, a fashion show…

Read the full Aspen Times article here. Want to watch some seriously awesome vball this weekend? Here’s the scoop:…
Austin: Weekend!
How excited are you for Step Up 3D? I’m seeing it tonight. After happy hour where I plan on trying some new Thirsty Planet beer. Yep, Austin has a new brewery–Thirsty Planet–that has three beers: a super-hoppy Buckethead IPA (I won’t be trying that), a 50/50 barley/red wheat Yellow Armadillo, and a malty Thirsty Goat…
Salutation Nation
Everyone knows lulu is de rigeur for CrossFitters. But the company actually started for yogis, so it’s MORE apropos that they host Salutation Nation, this Saturday from 9-10am. Like the Nike Human Race with less competing and matching tees, thousands of people across North America will take their asana practice outside for a complimentary class…
Aspen: Soccer Spectating
I’ve been playing a lot of soccer out in Aspen, apparently it’s all anyone does in the summer. And I’m actually getting kind of good! That might be an overstatement. I’m getting decent, like where people might actually pass me the ball and not expect an immediate turnover. Nali, however, thinks I’m fantastic.
