I can’t decide what to be excited about the most: a) Boy Band Karaoke (Quit Playing Games with My Heart was the first single I ever bought. Walmart, $1.99) b) Goodie bags!!!! c) $5 blowouts (gawd I love salon hair … Pink Salon!) d) Embellish Nails! (why am I so obsessed with them?) e) Girly…

Bar News + Ho Bus T-Shirts
So I’ve heard a few rumors about new or new-ish bars in town, just thought I’d share: Tonight starting at 10 pm is Jason Carrier’s Birthday Party at Molotov. Who? And why do you care? Jason is 1/4 of the Band of Bachelor Bros. that own Dizzy Rooster, Chuggin’ Monkey, Thirsty Nickel, Marq, and now…
Jo’s Chili Cold Blood Chili Cook-Off
Name? Don’t get it. Related to the band that plays? Whatevs, because Chili Cook Offs in general, I get. And love. [Well, used to, before I only ate free-range meat, which I doubt most chili-makers are employing these days. And I already missed the vegetarian chili cook-off…] Highlights: Local musicians featuring Chili Cold Blood, HoneyBread,…

The Tale of John-Scott
We–that is, me and my now-Brunch-obsessed pals–were at Moonshine Sunday morning for a little rehashing of last night over bloody marys and southern comfort food. Thrilled that they sat us at the exact same table as the last time we were there, we were even more excited when our server came over. It wasn’t his…
Golf Fashion Show or Achachay! at Red Eyed Fly?
Though I have long professed to hate golf, the last time I went to the driving range I’ll admit to having a lot of fun. For ladies who like to hit the links, Golfsmith is having its second Women’s Night tonight featuring a women-only shopping experience. The Arboretum store will have a fashion show, wine,…
Dr Pepper eats (drinks?) its words
In March, Dr Pepper said that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the infamous Guns N’ Roses album “Chinese Democracy”–which began recording 1994–went on sale in 2008. The album drops this Sunday. “We never thought this day would come,” says Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper’s vice president of marketing. “But now…

Alright, alright, more ACL coverage
Just because I like free parties and magazine parties, I’m posting on ACL again. Letting you guys in on some secrets: The Paste magazine party tonight at Stubb’s should be ridiculous. I tried to sneak into Paste’s party during SXSW, to no avail. But RSVP here and you won’t have to, plus you’ll see What…
ACL … I can’t handle it
I just can’t handle ACL. I went all out last year–open to close, all three days, media tent, afterparties and aftershows–and I think I just burned myself right out. Instead, I will be walking myself to tailgating and the UT game. Trying to drive or cab anywhere south of Enfield this weekend is going to…
