Many people would call CrossFit an inside joke. Though it is simply a style of working out, its gyms and clients are notoriously cult-ish, while the sport itself has its own terminology — WOD? AMRAP? RX? — and the people who play large roles often become highly characterized versions of themselves (for example, see the…

Ahh, spicy: Dulce Vida Tequila
There’s a new tequila in town, and it ain’t like those other vaqueros. Dulce Vida tequila is pure, plain and simple: it’s 100-proof, nothing but the distilled juice of organic agave plants from Mexico. No sugars, no water, no vodka to cut it; it’s just tequila. (Pictured: Dulce Vida Reposado, aged for a year in…
Drink for [a] Cause(s)
It seems like there are opportunities to support local charities in just about everything you do. While I don’t normally highlight events until a day or two before, I’ve got to get this on your calendar because it’s a cause near and dear to me (that, and I’m the Brunette QB, and we need to…

Freakin’ Full Weekend
First and foremost, the weekend has already been entirely usurped by the joy that is the Texas Hill Country Wine + Food Festival. I heard Thursday night’s Culinary Masters dinner was exquisite, and tonight’s Stars Across Texas Grand Tasting promises to be the glitziest of the events, held at the Long Center. Among Saturday’s full…
Friday night with the Austin SSC
I have spent many a Saturday morning with the venerable sports and social club, but that’s more sports than social. Turn the norm on its head with a Friday night Social–doesn’t hurt that you could potentially win vodka for a year: It’s about time for a social event that anyone can attend, regardless of whether…
Thursday Pre-V-Day = tons of events
There are an exorbitant number of happy hours and events tonight, some because it’s Thursday and some because Valentine’s Day is a great excuse for free drinks and snacks, and to sell some stuff in some stores. No matter your leaning, take advantage of a plethora of Thursday-night ideas–and end up at Twestival! Loosely arranged…
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…
Never too early to plan for New Year’s Eve
I’ve never been big into New Year’s Eve–too much money for the same bars I can go to any other night and not pay bajillion-dollar covers and wait in lines. I had friends go to a concert on NYE once, and even that I deigned to join for the same reason. I’ll happily attend house…
Brrrrr! Let Thursday Events Warm You Up!
As usual, Thursday night is busy this time of year! A smattering of the offerings: Do512 Holiday Campfire ‘Tis the season for holiday festivities, and Do512 is lighting up the campfire to roast marshmallows and enjoy private performances by The Lemurs and Via Audio. There will be s’mores, eggnog, and plenty of adult beverages. It’s…
