ELEVEN WEEKS OF SHELTER IN PLACE. Austin opened up last weekend for bars and increased restaurant capacities, and also it’s an average of 1,000 degrees here so looks like locally we’re getting out there just a smidge more. I hung out with people, outside, over the weekend. We’ll see what happens. Week 10. Week 9. Week 8. Week…
As Austin, and Texas in general, opens back up, I’m taking it slow. So this weird series will continue, and this is what kept me covidtained? this week. Week 7. Week 6. Week 5 here. Week 4 here. Week 3’s here. Week 2’s here. There is no Week 1 because we didn’t know back then. Workouts… I am now physically…

There is no Week 1 because we didn’t know back then. Workouts… Still hitting up long walks with Nali, Third Monkey workouts, yoga with King Yoga…

Austin’s lakes and ponds will probably never freeze in order to get that whole wintery skating thing going on (in contrast to Aspen, where it is TEN degrees as I type this), so we have to build rinks specifically for that purpose. The downtown Whole Foods started the trend a few years ago (and has…

Second, for Austin to remain the city we love, we all need to support its nonprofits organizations. Spend time at a…

Magazine Issue Launch: Austin Monthly Austin Monthly is launching their December COOL issue and the winter issue of Austin Monthly Home at…
This is the most ridiculous/awesome/Austin-y thing I’ve heard of in awhile.

And there are good bands playing too, for a mere $5! Here for…
