MY Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf: 38th & Lamar
I met a girl yesterday who reads This is Life in Austin, and she described me as “the girl who is obsessed with CrossFit and TRIO happy hour.” Hrmph. Not untrue. But hrmph nonetheless. I’m also pretty admittedly obsessed with Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and Alexandra’s Cookie Dreams cookies. Finally my dreams have come…
Emerge: ATX Graffiti Art Show
I think I’m too uncool, or at least un-emo, to understand this BUT graffiti and laser graffiti sounded awesome enough to sell me, and Spiderhouse is right near me. So here are the deets of this show curated by Nathan Nordstrom and Warren McKinney featuring live aerosol painting and laser tagging by some of Austin’s…
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.

And I already missed the vegetarian chili cook-off…] Highlights: Local musicians featuring Chili Cold Blood, HoneyBread,…

Happy Birthday Jo’s! + a veggie sandwich update
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s Halloween. I ended up dressing as Sarah Palin … so didn’t want to, but after four different and unrelated people suggested it, in the end I couldn’t resist. Especially since I owned everything needed except the fake glasses, so how much easier can you get? Anyway, plenty of lists exist for…
Coffeeshop: Dominican Joe’s
So I checked out another new coffeeshop this week: Dominican Joe’s. It sprouted up on South Congress and Riverside about a year or two ago, and I hadn’t been yet, so when I was looking for a new coffeeshop to try and their website promised me empanadas, I was sold. Unfortunately, the empanadas were beyond…
Sittin’ in Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse
Driving over here, I realized why people love Starbucks so much. I was nervous. Nervous to go to a freakin’ coffeeshop! But I didn’t want to look like the newbie. Regulars are nestled into their fave tables with their laptops and “the usual,” and I didn’t want to stick out like a sore thumb. I…
