Happy Friday ATX! 🤠 Edition #66

Day Parties Galore! šŸŽ¶šŸŖ©ā˜•šŸŒ±

Happy Friday ATX! 🤠 It’s National Exercise Day! Get out there and move yo bodies! šŸƒšŸ»ā€ā™‚ļøā€āž”ļøšŸ§˜šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ‹šŸ»

This week I have done a different type of workout every single day and I’m feeling sooo good.

It’s pretty wild how the basic things like moving and eating healthy can make you feel on top of the world.

If you’ve been feeling down, ask yourself when the last time you pushed your earth suit was?

If it’s been awhile, today is a great day to get back in the groove or even start something new!

You don’t need a fancy gym or fitness studio membership, my favorite workout this week was doing calisthenics in Zilker alone as the sun set. It may be hard in the moment but I can promise you won’t regret it.

Now let’s jump into things! Here’s your meme for this week!

Weekend Forecast: Day parties galore! šŸŒž When browsing events this weekend, I was shocked at the sheer number of day parties happening. If the rain holds off, (and even if it doesn’t!) it should be a wonderful weekend of dancing, vibing, and celebrating 4/20 if that is your thing! šŸ˜¶ā€šŸŒ«ļø

Some of our favorite events are Adam Ray’s Dr. Phil Live, the Sunday Latt3 Coffee club (where our very own Kiana is DJing 10-11a), and my country band’s show at Inn Cahoots tonight 8-11p!

Check out the full event list below! 

Best thing we ate this week… Kiana taught yoga at AM Wellness Disco at The Lawn on SoCo last weekend, and we had some brunch from 2 of the food trucks on site after the yoga class. The goat cheese and black bean tamales from Tamale Addiction were our savory choice, and the collagen banana waffle stack from Nourished ATX was our sweet choice.

The tamales were some of the best tamales I’ve had, simple but soooo flavorful with explosions of the tangy goat cheese cutting through the smooth refried black beans in each bite. The waffles from Nourished ATX were equally as special, and I love the ethos of Nourished ATX. They provide clean eats free of gluten, dairy, seed oils, and refined sugars, a breath of fresh air in a world where so much of our food is full of junk.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention our dear friend Bree’s CBD truck Raw Remedies, which is also located at The Lawn. Her Texas Breeze THC:CBD drinks in the prickly pear hibiscus lemon flavor are some of the tastiest I have found.

Most fun we had this week… Last night I got a text at about 10p to come to The Gallery at Austin’s legendary Continental Club, and I figured why not, because the alternative was sitting on the couch watching the weekend warm up to the Formula 1 race in Jeddah. 

I had no idea what to expect, except that it was a residency show for Da Homies (led by Jon Deas of the Kill Tony Podcast). Turns out Da Homies' Thursday night show is sort of a curated jam night, chock-full of some of Austin’s best musicians. If you don’t know about The Continental Club, it’s one of Austin’s oldest music institutions and has played host to some of Austin’s most notorious music legends over the years. Among those legends are Jimmie Vaughn (Stevie’s brother) and Billy Gibbons (of ZZ Top), just to name a couple. 

The night got even cooler when Jon told me to join them on stage for a few songs, so of course I did, and we ripped a killer rendition of Superstition by Stevie Wonder. Nights like this are why Austin, Texas holds the keys to my heart. This type of musical energy just doesn’t exist in that many places anymore, and it happens every Thursday night here in the Live Music Capitol of the World.

Upcoming Event Highlight… Glowdeo is riding into Austin on May 17, 2025, and it’s bringing a whole new shine to country music. Hosted at The Far Out Lounge, this neon-drenched, high-energy hoedown features rising stars Don Louis, Brooke Eden, Demps, and DJ Hexum—all pushing the boundaries of what country sounds like.

Born from a surprise party turned unforgettable wedding bash, Glowdeo is the passion project of local couple Katie and Jordan Gray—now bringing their vision to a bigger stage. Glowdeo mixes classic country vibes with glowing western flair. Think cold drinks, big beats, wild outfits, and enough neon to light up South Austin.

So throw on your flashiest boots and glowiest gear—there’ll be live music, a vendor market, photo ops, and plenty of two-stepping under the neon.


We’ll be there and hope to see you there too!
