How will you start your Friday night?
I am starting things out with the Zilker Relays that launch at 6:30 pm—I’ll be running second leg of the four leg race. Once I’m finished, I’ll head over to eat some Taco Deli and hit up the Independence Brewery’s beer garden with friends.
What band will you see this weekend?
Vallejo is playing tonight at 8 pm and I cannot wait!
What’s your favorite Austin band aside from who you will see this weekend?
Del Castillo!
What is your favorite venue to watch a show?
I have to say Antone’s because of the size of the venue, the sound and of course, the beer.
Where will you go for late night eats after your night out?
Definitely Magnolia off of Lake Austin Blvd. I love their bacon …
Where can we find you when you are craving BBQ?
While Austin has great barbecue, I have to be honest and say that I’ll be in my backyard…
Where can we find you when you are craving Tex-Mex?
Taco Deli is my absolute favorite, but after that I have to say Maudie’s.
What is your favorite outdoor spot to enjoy a sunny Saturday?
The the top of Mount Bonnell — the view is unbeatable.
What trails will you hit this weekend?
I like the Greenbelt for running or riding my bike.
What’s your one “must-do” for visitors to Austin (this weekend or in general)?
Honestly, you HAVE to go eat at TacoDeli — I kid you not that you’ll thank yourself!
If you’re having a date night, what romantic spot will you go to and what will you order?
Galaxy Café on West Lynn to order their fish special — OUTSTANDING!
What’s Austin’s best-kept secret?
The driveway series on Thursday nights by Holland Racing, it’s the coolest thing!
How will you end your Austin weekend? Where will you go and what will you do?
I’ll end things helping out at the Austin Triathlon!
