hi! my boyfriend and I will be going to the spill dot con in Austin a few weeks. He's been before but I have never been to Austin. Where are some cool places to go and eat? whats thye best in terms of sushi, japanese or korean? italian?

my mom is tagging along too. She doesn't want to go to the con and wants to see Austin. where is it safe and where is it dangerous? I'm really worried about that.

anything I should know about the city culturally? (ex. leslie, RIP)

thanks a bunch!

I just heard an ugly, ugly rumor that the Green Muse has closed. Someone PLEASE tell me that isn't true.

My car refused to start tonight in the UT campus area, and I had to make an agreement with the owner of the lot to not tow it provided I get it taken care of in the morning.

My dad does all the work on my car, so I don't want my car towed to a shop, I want it towed to my house. I live on the East side about 4 miles from my car. I know a lot of tow services won't tow to a residence or will only tow short distances. Can anyone recommend an efficient tow service that will be willing to take my car back to my place?

Early voting in the primaries started on Monday and runs through May 25. Election day is May 29! Get out and vote! 

If anyone is following the Williamson County DA race, we're looking for volunteers to stand at polling location and help bring in voters on election day. You don't have to be affiliated with either candidate (though I am, and would be happy to tell you who I support and why if you're interested). 

Can anyone recommend a mold inspection company (no conflict of interest companies preferred). My family is having some serious health issues since we moved into this house and my first plan of action is checking for molds. We currently have no visible mold, but I just have a gut feeling.
We are in contact with Austinmoldinspectors.com, but I can't find any reviews online. Their prices are reasonable, but I thought I'd check here before making an appt with them.

Thank you!

ETA: We are actually in round rock if that matters.

Does anyone have experience with the "Pure Bikram Yoga" studios - specifically the one downtown on Pressler?

I did a handful of beginner Hatha courses at Yoga Yoga while I was recovering from a shoulder injury but drifted back to my regular routine once I got better - since there is currently a Groupon for classes I thought I might give Bikram a shot.

I've read the basics about Bikram yoga in general but don't know much about the studio itself...

Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated!

Hey! Go vote!

I know once a LONG time ago this was talked about on here so I figure I will see if anyone has some help with my "shady" needs.
My friend has a car and their check engine light just WON'T go off. It has been in the shop multiple times and they can't seem to fix the problem and now with not 1 but 2 tickets for not having inspection he is getting desperate to maybe looking to find a place where he can dish out some extra $$ and maybe get a "passing" inspection. If you know of a place maybe you can E-mail me so it won't be so "public"

Hello everyone!
I have been selected to be an election judge for this weekend's city elections up by Northcross Mall.
All we are lacking is a bilingual clerk.
It would be 7 am to 7 pm, and it pays 8 bucks an hour.
I am working on the Democratic side, but we don't share political views on the site.
All you would have to do is take a 2 hour training some time this week, and be there for Saturday.

If you could reply to me here, I would love to work with you!

Everybody has the big ones (hydei), but I've got some very small praying mantises that need smaller food. No local stores have any of the small ones and I know there's at least somebody out there with a culture of melangoasters that can share!

Thanks -
