SXSW is coming...

Tonight from 6-8:30 enjoy some special treatment (I'm talking mini-manicures and mimosas) on 2nd Street!

Friday from 6-9 head to Tickle downtown for their 1 Year Anniversary! Expect free drinks, finger foods, and a lot of pampering.

Sunday the 3rd is The Zilker Park Kite Festival!
...and it looks like there's a salsa tasting at Wheatsville.

The SXSW round-up: CoolInAustin (free), Gabriel Does, and RSVPster (small fee for an incredible service) will keep you nice and toasted in the weeks to come :).

If you want to see more of me, check out the comic and the food blog. Better yet, follow me on the tweet-tweets.

January!

Thursday the 17th don't miss Club de Ville's birthdary party. Word is there will be free t-shirts and complimentary food catered by The Woodland.

Friday the 18th from 6-9 check out the sake tasting and a movie (with local food trucks and a bouncy castle!) at Texas Sake Company. From 7-10 don't miss The Hill Country Ride for AIDS kickoff party at Brazos Hall!

Sunday the 20th enjoy a hosted bar, fashion show, and more at Jellifi's Beta Party!

On January 24th from 6-10 head to Okay Mountain for this excellent art opening.http://www.okaymountain.com/exhibitions/it-rained-all-day/

Some Soirees...

October 18th from 6-9 don't miss the beer and cocktails at Maya Star. Also check out The BASHH.

Saturday the 20th enjoy cocktails at Eliza Page.

Friday the 26th from 6-10 don't miss Austin City Living's enormous Halloween blow-out. They suggest a $10 donation, but it looks like the open bar(s) will be more than worth it.

As always, keep track of me on twitter and be sure to check out Cool In Austin.

List of SXSW Lists.

This is a pretty informative list of free day parties at SXSW, but Cool In Austin's list is great.

SXSW Free Noms is amazing (their twitter is even more useful).

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Tuesday the 1st - tell a story, get free beer at Rio Rita (8-11)!

Free beer and food at Beauty Bar at 7 on March 2nd. Also (from 6-9) try not to miss this boutique opening... I have a feeling it's going to be good.

On March 4th (from 6-9) enjoy free drinks and catering by Portabla at Russel.

March 5th is the free day of yoga! Wally is having a fabulous reception at 6! From 12-5 (more specifically, at 1) attend a free hula hooping class on the Whole Foods roof. I went last year, and it was seriously fun.

Sunday the 6th was made for kites. I love the Zilker Kite Festival! From 9-2 it's the Local Maker's Fair at Whole Foods downtown! That means samples (including Kohana Coffee, which is a personal favorite).
