Austin, TX has some new residents - from Vixen Creations!

I myself don't live in Austin, but I am up there at least once a month. There is lots to do, it just depends your preferences--I just got back yesterday from the Book Festival, which was just as awesome as it sounds (I saw Chip Kidd AND Alton Brown!).
Here are a few great spots:
Torchy's Tacos--tasty and creative tacos.
Your Mom's Burger Bar--gourmet stuffed burgers. Seriously... you have to go.
Parts and Labour--they sell handmade arts and crafts, and they have everything. All sellers featured are Texan, too, so state pride--woohoo!
The Good Knight--tasty tasty drinks. Kinda expensive, but a nice place to start the night at.
Buenos Aires Cafe--across the street from Good Knight on S 1st, and DELICIOUS. Very romantic ambiance, as well. They have a spicy dark chocolate creme brulee that will kick your ass, which you will thank it for.
Barbarella Video Bar, on Red River. Fun fun fun if you want a night out dancing!

Great events:
Texas Book Festival
Austin City Limits Music Festival
Texas Burlesque Fest
Fun Fun Fun Fest
Aaaand you have to check out the bat flight on Congress Bridge

Hope this agrees with someone out there! less

Yay! CLP thanks so much! Alton Brown...I'd be STOKED! Out of all these places, we've only checked out "Your Mom's"....so delicious, I love the Marie Laveau!
I'll definitely have to plan a Good Knight/Buenos Aires Cafe date!!! I've even got a new dress! less

So, all those Eden contributors who live in or near Austin, TX or if you've every been there on vacation—give them the scoop on where to go and what to do for fun in Austin!

They're hinting that they've been working on some new vibes, new attachments for the Hitachi Wand, new stuff for guys..so maybe we can get more info if we give them a good source for coffee and Tex-Mex! less

I'm loving Texas so far! As for visiting "Vixen South," unfortunately it isn't the Wonka-esque weiner factory dreams are made of~~we are only doing new design here! The shelves of Bucks, Mavericks and Leos are still safe and sound in San Francisco, the empty shelves anyway-we can't keep product in stock! less
