When adorable drummer Ross, huband of blogger at last week’s Bleet Up, started telling me about his band The Lennings and how they have this great new EP, Geographic Tongue, I gave him my familiar line: “sounds cool, but I don’t really cover music unless it’s got another angle to it, or I think it’s…

Freakin’ Full Weekend
First and foremost, the weekend has already been entirely usurped by the joy that is the Texas Hill Country Wine + Food Festival. I heard Thursday night’s Culinary Masters dinner was exquisite, and tonight’s Stars Across Texas Grand Tasting promises to be the glitziest of the events, held at the Long Center.
