#109 Go to the ballet, opera and symphony at least once in your life

I mean, come on … is this too much to ask? A little culture never hurt anyone. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a male or female – you should frequent each of these types of performances at least once in your lifetime. Take your daughter, wife, boyfriend, best friend, grandparent, co-worker, someone on a first date [...]

#107 Go to a Dive Bar

When I say “dive bar”, I mean your hole-in-the-wall, only serves beer and the lead singer of the band is pushin’ 80 kind of bar! It’s always a good time to hit up the trendy places like 6th street, especially the West 6th area, but every now and then being able to go to a [...]

#105 Try to Two-Step

I cannot believe I haven’t done this one yet! This is probably one of my favorite things to do and will never say no if someone asks me to go. I am definitely not a pro or anything, but I just love to two-step, waltz, half-step; you name it, I’ll TRY it!
This is one of [...]

If you’re not an Austinite, you might not know what I’m talking about, but this Christmas display and celebration is well-known [...]

The BCS has determined that we deserve to fall to the #3 position behind Alabama and Oklahoma. This means that Mizzou and Oklahoma, two teams that Texas has beaten during our regular [...]

#94 Go On A Road Trip!

Past the original feeling of excitement most teenagers feel at age 16 when we first get our license, most of us get so used to driving we forget how much fun it can be. In Austin, like many other cities, traffic can be so bad you wish you were on foot!
But fear not, [...]

#90 Visit a Historic Museum

First of all, I am not a history buff or anything, but I just think this is something that should be done at least once in your lifetime. There are so many important things that have taken place in this country, let alone in the state of Texas, that have helped us come to where [...]

#88 Viva Las Vegas

We’ve all heard stories about Las Vegas since we were young. We all hear the tourism ads that say, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” as well as seen countless movies set there (among my faves: 21, What Happens In Vegas, Ocean’s 11-13, Vegas Vacation). We must all have distorted images of this city [...]
