Summer Storage Filed under: Misc.
So you’re pretty much almost finished with finals now, and you totally ruined your GPA (good going loser). The time has come to move out. Yep, you’re leaving the ultimate life of fun in the heavenly city of Austin behind to go back to Denton to hang with your parents and awkward ex-friends from high school. No use lugging your stuff back with you. Here’s a thread with some good tips on summer storage. |

So we had a bit of trouble recently. Our server was down for a whole day. But I guess such things are inevitable when you host your site on somebody else’s shit. We just wanted to apologize. Now let’s move on to better times. Thank you. |

Goodbye Real World Filed under: Misc.
“The only difficulty we had was when an Austinite or a cast member had too much to drink,” executive producer Jon Murray says. “When young people drink too much, those few people who tend to be disagreeable are amplified.”Good God! They sure know how to get the goods down at the Statesman. We’re going to be hanging around the house for the rest of the day… drinking. You can see if anything crazy happens June 21st, when the series airs. Welcome to ‘The Real World’ [Statesman] |

The guy who painted that creepy ass art featured in the documentary, Supersize Me, is going to be showing some of his work here in Austin. The theme of his stuff is pretty much along the lines of defacing corporate mascots and freakishly distorting marketing slogans to serve his own radical agenda. Punk rock dude! We usually go for a more subtle brand of satire, but Ron English’s stuff is probably worth checking out. Also a great outing if you are dating a vegan.
If you thought that Ben & Jerry’s crap was as good as it got then you are flat out wrong. What happens when they kick you out of their 
What would prompt these two ice cream mavens to journey to Austin? A spectacular store-opening celebration including free ice cream, a Vespa giveaway, “celebrity” scoopers, carnival “activities”, and “name” entertainment. What makes this store so special? Well it’s operated by LifeWorks, who apparently puts at-risk kids to work scooping ice cream. What could be a better way to kick off summer than check out a free ice cream carnival featuring Ben and Jerry in the flesh? Did we mention that it’s free? There must be a catch, right? ERROR: Rhetorical question limit exceeded.
The emotions that flowed through our body when we saw this video are difficult to describe. We don’t want to oversell it or anything, but we definitely think it is something you should watch. You’re probably wondering why we didn’t give you a heads up on this amazing event. The simple answer is that we greedily kept it to ourselves. Luckily for you the Statesman deployed their multimedia unit to Buda, TX (The Wiener Dog Capital) to capture the fun. Enjoy. (You’ll need Quicktime.)
Don’t you hate it when you’re riding your bike around town in the middle of the night and some car barrels down the road and smashes your bones into powder? Well, Killfloor’s under the impression that you were asking for it, but whatevs. The thing is, if you’re going to be pedaling around in darkness you better damn well have some kind of light or reflector. We can’t even start to recall every time we’ve been out for a peaceful midnight drive when some hippy darts out of nowhere on his Schwinn and comes six inches from buying our lawyer a new boat. Thankfully, to raise awareness of fixing lights and reflectors on your bicycle Bikes Across Borders is holding a nocturnal expedition open to anyone who owns a two-wheeler. With a donation to the Biker Down Fund they’ll supply you with your very own bike light or blinky so you can join the ride. Just meet at the parking lot above the canoe rental at Zilker Park at 6:30pm on Friday the 13 (AAHH!) if you want in on the fun. For more info you can contact Bikes Across Borders at 512-385-3695 or shoot them an 
Apparently for the past 27 years groups of high school English teachers have been flocking to Austin to participate in what appears to be the largest parley of punsters this town has ever seen. This world championship event pits witty contestants head to head in an attempt to determine the 
Well, its time for the Real World to pack its bags and move out of town. When we think back about the memories we made in the past few months, well, we get a little choked up. Who can forget that time when we saw the whole cast walking down 6th Street with, like, 4 cases of alchohol? Or that other time we walked by the Real World house and yelled profanities at it? Or what about the time that blonde chick and some guy walked by us at SXSW? Wow, its been really fun. The Austin-American Statesman sat down to an exclusive interview with the cast and see the inside of the house (lucky!), and they’ve uncovered some pretty startling revalations. For instance:
