This past weekend I went to the Westword Music Showcase, a one-day music festival of local bands with some national and international acts thrown in to add a little spice to things. We started the day bright and early with the best of early morning beverages, Bloody Marys, followed by shots washed down with watermelon. …
Last night I went to the Rackhouse, part of the Stranahan’s Distillery, for dinner and a pub quiz. Just so you know, I’m terrible at trivia, especially when one of the categories is, “If I were to make a Craigslist ad, this would be what it said.” How was I supposed to know that Vladimir …
I’ve been holding out on you guys. Don’t be mad! Like anything good, I tend to savor it off in a corner for a while and then explode with the news that I’ve found the BEST. THING. EVER. At least you know I give it a full vetting process before talking about it. D Bar …

It’s colorful, expansive and truly an enigma; there are green, lush mountains, monochromatic desert, rocky cliffs, sandy beaches (seriously!) and really everything in between. If a place like this can’t capture your imagination, I don’t know what will. I very …
If you speak any Spanish and are offended by the title of this post, don’t be! It’s a restaurant, so take up the naughty name choice with them! If you don’t speak Spanish but are intrigued, you can check out Urban Dictionary to see what I mean. ANYWAY, yesterday was a big day as a …
This weekend I did something very unlike me: I went hiking. I don’t even own a pair of proper sneakers. My yoga mat and Vibrams take care of all the fitness needs I have. However, I was begged, so I threw caution to the wind and let myself be dragged up a mountain. At the …
