If you love movies and live in Austin this is your place to see them. Instead of all those silly gift cards that cost you $6 to load get one that can give you an extra $20 in value. Tim League and staff have made this an Austin institution with great food, drink, and film.
This is hands down my favorite thing this holiday. Of course I couldn't wait to get one until Christmas and have been playing Dance Central almost everyday since opening it. You know Microsoft hit a home run when you squeeze 15 people into a 600 sq ft apartment to play and EVERYONE is jumping in. Also gives you some voice commands for certain functions on your XBOX. "XBOX ESPN" is a daily ritual.
If you have an XBOX and you find one to put or get under the tree here are the games I recommend: (Already comes with Kinect Adventures)
Dance Central
Kinect Sports
Your Shape: Fitness Evolved
Kinectimals (for kids or if you like giga-pets)
Everyone knows how much of a fan I am of Tito's Vodka. It is my spirit of choice. The revisit of retro-style real sugar sodas has had me try numerous combinations. My favorite so far is Retro Big Red. It tastes amazing!!! With Tito's and friends it makes the best Christmas cocktail.
Apple really made a great little device with the new iPod Nano. There are a ton of cool versions of the wristband out there. Here is another to consider. The new iPod Nano and the Belkin Watch Band. Both available at Best Buy.
It even holds the iPad. I may get a couple different styles of these coats. You can even use your iPod/EVO/iPhone through those crazy looking inner chest pockets as it lets you interact with them. CHeck out their other products if you travel. You can save a bag or two!
I mean if you can;t laugh at yourself then what's the point right? I knew I was rhythm challenged but no idea this bad. Perhaps the right amount of Tito's has not been consumed yet. Must fix that.
Thanks to CG I'm getting slaughtered by Clu. But how cool is this?
Pretty F'n cool.
TRON was one of my favorite movies. I still can recall the day I saw it back in 1982. Heading to the theater in my own, watching the movie, then waiting for my parents to come pick me up at the local arcade where I was playing the video game TRON. It blew me away.. Hope this next installment does the same!
Just like the Wright Brothers and countless other visionaries you can't laugh a great idea man away from his own genius. Lonnie Johnson may have changed the world.
Is AMC the new HBO? Mad Men is one of the best television shows written in a long time. Could a zombie infested world be the next hit for AMC? We will find out this Halloween.
Austin's Division for Code Compliance's mission statement: "Our mission is to attain compliance with City codes regarding land use regulations and the maintenance of structures and premises through education, cooperation, enforcement and abatement to achieve a cleaner, healthier and safer City."\
But with the recent issues going back and forth with Weirdo's in North Austin do you think the city is acting in the interest for the public good or as the bully for big business?
Thoughts?
This is probably one of the best products for the techie in most of us. Solar. 5400mAh battery. Waterproof. Charges iPad, Iphone, Blackberry, and pretty much anything else portable. Click the picture to read more.
At 41 years old I have never held a valid driver's license. Ever. Temporary learner's permits but not an actual license. Are you brave? Have great car insurance and loads and loads of patience? Death wish perhaps? Teach me to drive... I want to document the experience so that will be part of it too. Only serious or seriously funny inquiries or comments accepted! Oh, and this is for my Austin, Texas neighbors and crash test dummies.
My first trailer experience in Austin when I first moved here was The Best Wurst. Since my move to Texas they are the only one vendor who makes bratwurst that I consider delicious. My hometown is Milwaukee so my credentials are solid in this category.
Curry ketchup, onions, spicy mustard, sauerkraut... They have it all. Great staff and worth the long wait in line. Be a good neighbor and throw your trash in a receptacle when finished.
At $4.50 it's a deal. I want one right now.
With the issue of an on-going permit battle with Parkside for their 6th and San Jacinto location, they may have to move, so get one while you can. (The 6th and Red River location will still be there)
I just found out about this today and as a loyal Austinite can't sit by without trying to help. Milwaukee is my hometown. Finding delicious bratwurst is not an easy task. Jon and his staff of awesome employees have made even a mediocre night downtown a great experience for me.
Below are some things I have taken off of Jon's Facebook group (Save The Best Wurst). Please read on and if you would like to help or show support email the Mayor of Austin and let him know The Best Wurst is part of the Best of Austin! Lee.Leffingwell@ci.austin.tx.us.
This is hilarious. Total dead-pan awesomeness!
