Au40 Nominations Roundup tonight at Paggi House, co-sponsored by Tribeza. I posted on Austin Under 40 a little while back, but I still think it’s pretty cool and worth checking out tonight–plus who doesn’t want to see the new Paggi House? RSVP here. I will be attending a leadership planning meeting for the awesome upcoming…

Designer Clearance House
Driving down Burnet Road the other day, I was stopped in my tracks by the Designer Clearance House. This rarely happens to me, but who am I to turn down Designer clearances? I turn my car around and pop into the little shop to be greeted by a friendly man named Lalo. I ignore him…
Red House Lounge – Stortini + Stortini’s pizza = Red House Pizzeria
It’s a confusing bit of mathematical dining calculations, but basically Stortini’s lounge in the back–the Red House Lounge–was a much bigger success than the restaurant she sat in. So they closed Stortini Bistro. Then, the popular neighborhood bar stole the finer points of its sister restaurant, uh, the pizza, and expanded into the entire space.…
Four Seasons Tree Lighting
I love the Four Seasons Hotel Austin, with their incredible popovers and see-and-be-seen lobby bar. Tonight, they’ll be lighting their tree and unveiling their crazy-cool Gingerbread Village and everyone is invited! 5:30pm in the lobby. Complimentary treats and refreshments will be served. I went last year and had a great time–the gingerbread village really is…
Ultimate Lazy Sunday Afternoon = Free Beer
That’s right, try (512) Brewery’s new Pecan Porter Sunday for FREE from 2-4pm at the brewery. 407 Radam, F200 Austin, Texas, 78745 (between South 1st & South Congress, one block south of Ben White) I’ve liked the (512) Brewery brews, so I’m willing to bet this is pretty good too. Yum, nutty winter beer! They…

Mansion of Terror: Danger Hellaphant
Last night, a team of us (okay, just me and two guys–gotta protect myself!) went to Mansion of Terror, the haunted house that’s billed as the scariest in Austin. And the #8 in the nation. Or the #1 by Lions Gate Films. Who knew film companies rated haunted houses? Anyway, it’s good. So good that…
Haunted Pub Crawls Galore!
TWO Haunted Pub Crawls?! There’s one Saturday and Sunday, so pick your poison or scare yourself silly and go to both: Saturday: Haunted House Pub Crawl There are two main draws to the Haunted House Pub Crawl: Mansion of Terror (supposed to be the scaries in Austin) and drinks on the bus. $50 ticket includes:…
Techno Tuesday
So I’m not a big fan of techno. I know there are cooler–and more specific–terms for it, but I just call it all techno. House, trance, drum-n-bass, whatever. It’s techno. (Electronic music is the proper term, alright? please don’t send me hate mail) BUT I have some good friends who are djs and obviously love…
Polkadots Cupcake Factory
When I heard about this company called Polkadots Cupcake Factory suddenly sponsoring all these happy hour-type events, I had to see what the deal was. Plus, the cupcake trend has gotten so out of hand, and these places are cropping up everywhere. A friend and I split two cupcakes: the cookie dough, and the chocolate…
