As the first Thursday of the month often goes, this one is jam-packed with things to do. Behold: The Moonlight Margarita Run has only been around 4 years and has already turned into one of Austin’s most infamous running events.

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.

Some restaurants I ate at this week …
Turns out I tried a bunch of new (to me) restaurants this weekend! Imperia — the sushi happy hour was super-packed, too crowded really, and the sushi was passed apps, which means my friends and I each got about three pieces. They were tasty–cream cheese and eel, a crunchy take on spicy tuna–but I don’t…

FREE sushi & sake at Imperia!
It sounds too good to be true, which is why I’m giving you such advance notice. Thursday July 3rd, Imperia introduces SUSHI to its already award-winning offerings. From 6-8, the restaurant will be serving complementary sushi and sake. I’ll be there. I haven’t been to Imperia, though it’s definitely on my list of want-to-go-there places.…
