Kim and I are getting married in November. While I was at sea she took everything we talked about and picked out the most epic spot for us to get hitched and I finally got to see it. But before that we hit up Austin with some good friends for a little cafe.

Tim Burton strikes again with his latest story, Alice in Wonderland. He has compromised his crew of the usual suspects, most notable Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham-Carter as the Queen. Just take a look at some preview shots.

Built in 1878, Gruene Hall is the oldest continually running dance hall in Texas. Slowly resisting change the town of Gruene Hall is a landmark in this state. Come on in through the screen door, take a seat with a cold beer or slide around the dancefloor. Things here are no different than 1878, literally. The wood is smooth as glass from the millions of boots that have scooted across it and up front you can still cool off from the scorching TX heat with a cold beer under the ceiling fans. No windows, no AC, just like 1878. FLICKR

Shiner Smokehaus the latest release from the little brewery. They have managed to pleasure our tastebuds once again. I’ve yet to be disappointed. This is what they have to say, “Brewed with pale malt that’s been smoked with native mesquite…this Helles-style beer has a smoky flavor that goes great with all the flavors of summer.”
PROSIT!
