After reading about Playback recycled bottle and cotton tees, I couldn’t resist ordering one for me and one for the (Ver)monster. Luckily, they came in the mail right before I had to go to an early Halloween party that I was NOT ready to dress up for … so I wore this lovely light brown…

First Night
I have an existing post with things to do on New Year’s Eve, but after reading this article on First Night, I had to give it its own post. Click here to read. Basically, the giant 32-foot wooden clock tower on Auditorium Shores is for you to pin your resolutions to, and then after fireworks…
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.

Reusable bags are all the rage …
… yes, but the problem with all these silly canvas totes is what to do with produce?

Plus, for a fashionable gal, it’s just not practical in the summer heat–I can’t show up everywhere with helmet-hair and sweat stains! Perhaps a Vespa would keep me cooler … But alas,…
Hello from Ecuador! + free yoga by lululemon
I never intended to be on the internet so soon in Ecuador, but I, um, forgot to send in an assignment, so I had to take care of that from a bajillion miles away. I can´t even begin to describe Ecuador … it´s a bajillion miles away. It has so much natural beauty bordered by…
Moonshine
Since all I want to do is eat some solid food (Day 9 of the Cleanse), I’m going to go ahead and torture myself and talk about Moonshine. The Third-and-Red-River hotspot has the best of many worlds–business/tourist traffic with the Convention Center and downtown and local traffic for the downtown reason and because it’s just…
