Greetings everyone! I write to you from sunny Austin, Texas, where I am currently convalescing after four days of intense party reporting.

If I had a severed, bloody texting finger in my basement for every time this had happened to me, I’d have a whole lot of…nevermind. What’s that, you live in a civil place with no tolerance for movie-ruiners? Is it Austin? More »

You Need a Drink: FRIED BEER

You Need a Drink: FRIED BEER

State Fairs are awesome. There are rides, funnel cakes, ring toss games, and – the best part – fried things. I’m from North Carolina, home of the deep fried Krispy Kreme doughnut, so it takes a lot to impress me in the junk food department, but the Texas state fair has really upped its game. Here are their finalists for this year’s best state fair snack: More »
