Austin: Silent Cedar

In a town with a glut of live music, creativity can be hard to come by. But this is the first time I’ve ever heard of silent disco, where everyone wears headsets that host 3 different channels with 3 DJs playing simultaneously throughout the night … but if you take your headphones off, it’s totally silent. With…

After Dark Events!

If you’re heading from downtown, pop into Estilo, then stop in to Twin Liquors Marketplace in Hancock Center for a free wine tasting on your way up north, where you’re headed to a denim & margarita bar. Estilo Art Show Head to Estilo from 6-9p for an Art Show featuring the work of Stephanie Beard.…

BFFs love free stuff!

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…

Thursday Scion House Party

Frankly, I’m confused about this Scion House Party thing. I know they’re supposed to be the pulse of the U.S. underground dance movement, but this House Party is at Beauty Bar … oh, you mean House like the music? Gah, I’m such a music dummy. Is anyone else going to see Sublime cover band Badfish…

Mix Master Mike & lots of free drinks

Mix Master Mike, the Beastie Boys’ resident turntablist, is considered to be one of the best DJs in the industry, having won multiple DMC World Championships. As part of the Bacardi Live Tour, his show at La Zona Rosa is totally free with RSVP, Bacardi will be there serving delicious (free?!) adult beverages, and you…

Techno Tuesday

So I’m not a big fan of techno. I know there are cooler–and more specific–terms for it, but I just call it all techno. House, trance, drum-n-bass, whatever. It’s techno. (Electronic music is the proper term, alright? please don’t send me hate mail) BUT I have some good friends who are djs and obviously love…

Tidbits or Tribeza? Tough Thursday!

I LOVE Austin Tidbits parties. They’re rare (quarterly?), obviously causing them to be more exciting than Tribeza parties, and they usually have fab gift bags and super-fashiony people, making them way more exciting. Not that Tribeza parties don’t have fashiony people–and I will say they draw a fair man-crowd, whereas Tidbits men are randoms off…

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…

Lanai’s Grand Opening!

So I’ve been talking about how awesome Lanai is and how you should go for awhile now … almost a month? But they’re finally hosting their Grand Opening party Thursday night! From 8-10pm, there will be free “tastings” of their signature cocktails and apps. At 10, the place morphs into “Shy Town Night” with DJ…

A Thursday of Free Jewelry Events

Yeah, a smidge random that there are TWO jewelry events this Thursday, but hey, we can roll with it. I won’t be at either, as I’ll be running the Nike Human Race training run I’ve come to love so dearly. But for those not pounding the pavement: Design Your Own Necklace at Madewell Visit the…
