WINNER! $75!

Amy, who said at 3:33pm (must be lucky): OOh definitely kitchen tools! I moved recently so would love some new pans as I tossed my old ones. Alright, so she’s definitely not as funny as some of you (Mom, with the Ninja comment. Jordan who wants pancakes and bacon. Carolyn who may or may not…

Austin: FREE Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Some day, I’m going to stop apologizing for always posting on Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. It’s just that they’re so GOOD, and so easy to work at or meet friends at or stop in at … I just freakin’ love them. Stop by after work today–or, if you’re like me, for your mid-day pick…

Giveaway! WIN $75 from thisislifeinaustin/aspen!

Cross your fingers for me … we’re looking at a fab apartment in Aspen with a high bar-table … what some call “bistro sets.” Even if we don’t snag that apartment (apartments in Aspen are IMPOSSIBLE, btw), we could buy a sweet table (or at least part of one) IF we won the lifeinaustin/aspen giveaway…

Austin: Four Seasons Dive in Movie [updated]

The Blind Side is ONLY my favorite movie ever. It has surpassed Top Gun, and nothing had surpassed Top Gun since I saw it in 1995. Or somewhere around then. Anyway, this fall the Four Seasons is hosting Dive in Movies (like Deep Eddy’s, only better, because it’s the FOUR SEASONS) where you can lounge…

Austin: Dogwood Grand Opening

Everyone loves the Bachelor Bars (an article I wrote in 2007!): Molotov, The Marq, Chuggin’ Monkey, Dizzy Rooster, and Thirsty Nickel. In the old Mother Egan’s spot next door to Molotov, the brothers bachelor (Brad, Chad, & Wes Womack) and partner Jason Carrier have reinvented the pub with a distinctly Southern flare. They’ve been open…

Lecturer Eric Dufresne wants to know how things work. His laboratory investigates the physics underlying materials and biology. On a given day, you could find him…

Salutation Nation

Everyone knows lulu is de rigeur for CrossFitters. But the company actually started for yogis, so it’s MORE apropos that they host Salutation Nation, this Saturday from 9-10am. Like the Nike Human Race with less competing and matching tees, thousands of people across North America will take their asana practice outside for a complimentary class…

Aspen: Yoga Rocks the Mountains July 16-18

There’s yoga, music, camping, dancing, delicious food … what isn’t to love about Yoga Rocks the Mountains, this weekend in Snowmass? Yoga Workshop Schedule (full schedule here) … I’m just listing the classes with Aaron, my instructor at King Yoga, who I LOVE and who trains Lance Armstrong, so even if I didn’t ALREADY think…
